BEAUTIES OF AN EDIroR's LIFE.-A
Post Master, tho other day, informed us Of
the remova from his neighborhood of a
Subscriber, to whom we have been sending
our paper for two years without a cents
pay, & took occasion to say that under the
circumstances, he could hold as responsible
for the postage. Now really, we object to this
Post Office law, and it is we'll TO say to our
friends at once, that if wc have To lose the
amount of subscription, and pay postage
also Tor our delinquent subscribers, we must
give up the ship before many Moons
Verify, this is losing a dollar out of ones
WI pocket, and then paying another man
half price for the loss. Double thunder, VIC
know, we can't stand.
