a hint to Borrowers of Newspapers.

The practice OF borrowing newspapers, says the
Baltimore Federal Gazette, SO very annoying to sub
scrbers, and of course 10 printers has lately ncreas
ed to such degree TO be productive Of serious
injury, and to require that some efficient means
should be used if practicable, to put stop to it.
Several recent instances have occurred Zone yester-
day. of subscribers to this Gazette ordering their
papers to be stopped for the sole purpose oil being
relieved from the daily annoyance OF borrowers who
are more curious than liberal.
To those persons who have so little regard for
propriety as to continue the practice after this no.
tIce oil the injury which it causes, we shall not feel
ourselves bound TO preserve any orbearance, and
suggest it to our brethren Of the type, as proper
rule oil proceeding in which we should all unte--to
procure and publish +" list of borrowers of newspa-
pers, who never contribute any thing to the support
OF the publishers"
The Albany Microscope says, " We have a large
list OF rery profitable borrowers, respectable in
point of numbers, If not otherwise" Many other
papers have made honora able mention, of this COM
mendable and economical mode of cheap reading.
We also have jual cause of complaint on this sub
jcct One OF our country subscribers informed US a
few weeks since that he had thought of discontin-
uing his paper, as he was almost entirely deprived
Of its use by several of his neehbors who were in the
constant habit of borrowing it. We have taken
measures 10 procure, and have the promise Of being
furnished with list of the names of those high
minded patrons of newspapers, which, should they
Continue the practice, they may rest assured shall in
due time be published at full length.
