To all Concerned.

We would call the attention of some of our
subscribers, and especially certain Post Mas.
ters, to The following reasonable, and well set
lied rules Of Law in relation TO publishers, to
The patrons Of newspapers.
THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
!. Subscribers who do no, give erpresS no.
tice 10 the contrary, are considered as wishing
TO continue their subscriptions
9 If subscribers order the disconlinuance oi
their papers, the publishers may continue 10
send them ill all a.rearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse TO take
their papers from The officers 10 which they are
directed, they are held responsible ill they
have settled their bill, and ordered ;heir papers
discontined.
a. Ii subscribers remove TO other places with.
on, informing the publishers, and their paper is
sent 10 the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
s. The courts have decided tha, refusing 10
take newspaper or periodical from the Office,
or removing and leaving il uncalled for, is 'pri-
ma face" evidence of intentional fraud.

In an article on Pork making, in a late No.
of the N. E. Farmer, DR.. Lee says:-From
some experiments of my own, and considerable
research IN the published results Of the expe-
rence of others, am satisfied that ten bushels
of boiled potatoes, thoroughly mixed with the
pudding that can be made from three bushels
Of corn or peas, will make as much pork as
twenty bushels of potatoes, and six bushels Of
corn or peas fed raw. II is, indeed, gratifying
to find tha, throughout the entire length and
breadth of our country, the expression Of popu-
lar sentiment is annually becoming more aud
more decided as regards the practice of econo-
mizing food by cooking. The calculation made
by DR.. Lee, though ii will in all probability be
doubted by some, will ye, appear reasonable to
every one who has any knowledge Of the prac-
lice TO which it refers. Our own experience
has long since convinced us that, to feed un-
cooked food Of any kind 10 hogs or olher ami
mails while undergoing The fattening process, !"
is sheer waste of a, least one fourth the ma.
terals demanded. We hope our farmers in
Maine will examine this subject critically, and
act, hereafter, as their own reason, uninhuenced
by long cherished prejudices shall decide.

Dr. Samuels. member Of The House OF Rep.
resen'aiives from Lehigh county, in this Stale,
has made an elaborate Report 10 the Legisla-
,ute, relative to the use of Mercury in the prac.
tice of medicine. The subject was brought
before the Legislature on The petition OF certain
persons TO have law passed prohibited its use
in all cases, as a medicine. The Repor, com.
mences with description of the article, and
after glancing a, some OF ills uses and sana,ve
and deleierious effects, concludes with these
remarks-lhal much injury has resulted from
its abuse, but that is no. sufficient ground for
the prohibition of its use; as Mercury when
skilfully administered, is one OF The safest and
mos, effective agents in The ma,eria medea.

We have examined several Dagueueo,ype

saying they are equal, if not superior, to any
We ever saw. In fact we can conceive nothing
finer, either as regards the likeness or execu-
,ion. Mr.. 7. makes pretty picture of Da-
guerreo!ype, which no person who has been in
Siroudsbusg before has done. Whoever wishes
