~ Y. B. Palmer, Esq, at his Real Estat,
To all Concerned.

We would call the attention of some OF our
subscribers, and especially certain Post Mas
tiers, to the following reasonable, and well sell
lied rules of Law in relation TO publishers, TO
ahe patrons of newspapers.
THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
]. Subscribers who do not give cypress no
tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing
TO continue their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order The disconlnuance Of
their papers, the publishers may continue 10
send them lill all asrearages are paid.
g. If subscribers neglect or refuse 10 take
their papers from the officers TO which they are
directed, they held responsible ill they
have settled their bill, and ordered ;heir papers
dsconiined.
4. II subscribers remove to other places with
out informing the publishers, and their paper is
sent TO the former direction, they are held re.
sponsible.
S. The courts have decided that refusing 10
take newspaper or periodical from the Office
or removing and leaving il uncalled for. is ''pri
ma facie" evidence of Intentional fraud.

Young Combs.
ciples.' v

The funeral of young Frank Combs took
place al Lexington on the 22nd uls., and was
attended by large number of persons. The
Observer makes this touching notice Of the last
sad ceremony: =
"He who, bu, few months since, left his
pa,ernal home, full Of hope and happiness, and
with brigh, prospects in the future, was brought
back TO it, by an afflicted father, mangled
corpse-noi killed upon the battlefield, but shot
down upon the public highway, by one old
enough TO be his falher-his nearest neighbor
-one who ought TO have been his friend and
protector, instead Of his assassin. Oh! II was
cruel for one SO young and noble-hearted to be
thus bu,chered in distan. land, with no friend
or relative of his boy hood near him. Yet even
in that land of strangers, so manly had been his
bearing so upright his conduc, and character,
than one universal burst Of indignation and hor-
ror followed the flying footsteps Of his cowardly
slayer, and tears of heartfelt sympathy from all
eyes upon his bloody grave. We have rarely
seen upon similar occasion so large multi
ude, as filled the house and streets adjacent TO
it, while The funeral service was performed by
the Rev. Mr.. Matthew'S Nor have we ever
listened TO more appropriate and touching dis.
course and prayer The same Reverend gen.
lIeman had attended the bedside of dying
mother, and lillle more than year since, in
the same place, delivered funeral discourse
commemorative Of her high character. lorliude
and piely, premaiurey as she was hurried ,o
the tomb. All parties and classes, then, as
now, united in ieslifyng their love and regard
for the deceased, and in sympaihizing with the
afflicted family and relatives"

Another Great Race---The Nor,,,
Against the South.

We learn from the Spirit Of the Times tia,
match for $780, 900 aside, between The No,..
and the South is likely to come of over the Uo.
ion Course, Long Island. in May next. The
North is understood 10 comprise all lha, secljo,
of The Union north Of the Roanoke-lhe Sou,b
in like manner all south and southwest Of lb,,
river.
In lieu of making match between The rival
champions of The North and Sou,h-FasI;o,
and Peytona-- who are universally acknowI.
edged TO be a, the head of The Turf in their re.
spec,iye sections Of country, the parties have
entered into post match, SO as to ensure racr,
each being a, liberty to name his horse al he
post. The post match has been made uo by
the particular friends of Fashion and Pey,ou,
Of course with the sole view Of bringing then,
together, but SHOULD accident occur to either
the match cannot, under any circumstances, fall
through.

Cheap Postage.

We were too fast, las, week, in our remarks
on Postage Reform. Since then the Reduc-
ton Bill has passed both Houses, and al our
latest advices from Washington, only awaited
the signature of The President to become law.
LETTERS are to be charged fre cents under
three hundred miles, and ten cents for all great.
er distances. NEWSPAPERS are TO be sent free
for thirty miles; over that to be charged one
cent l, was though, tha, the President would
sign it. We hope he has.

The 92d Again.

!" subscriber" takes exception 10 our no.
tice of last week, which stated that Washing
TONS Birthday had passed by without obser-
vdnce, in S,roudsburgh. He says, iha. SO far
from .ha. being The faci, some ten or dozen
kindred spirits assembled together in the even
ing, made merry over some bollles Of Wine,
&C., aud closed the day by getting mos. glori-
ousiy +" corned"
This certainly, we are compelled 10 admit,
was an observance Of The day; and one TOO which
those interested will no, be likely soon TO for
get. But still, ,oe are not satisfied five had
reason, last week, to complain of the non-obser.
vance, we mus, now complain of The mis-o6ser.
Uance of the twenty-second. We hope, thai
our Jovial friends will observe the mex. 22d, in
more unexcepiionable manner. For this OBJ.
servance, of theirs, was an observance, which
will be far more honored in the breach, than
the observance.

Wonderful Discovery.
Correspondence of the National Intelhgencsr.

New York, Jan. 80, 1915
Considerable sensation has been produced
among our engravers by the news Of dI,cov
cry, which is not only likely TO affect their in.
terests TO great extent, but which, if general.
ly made known, must lead 10 consequences al.
fecting the paper currency of the civlzsl
world, the importance of which il is hardly pos
sible to exaggera,e. / am indebted to Mr..
Chapman, the well. known artist, for an account
Of the invention and specimen Of plate pro.
duced through its agency.
The discovery consists in process by which
an elaborate line engraving Of any size may be
so accurately copied that there shall be no per.
cepiible difference between the original aud the
copy by which an engraving on steel or cop.
per may be produced from an impression fhs
prin,--.he original plate never having been seen
by the copyist-and the copied engraving be.
ing capable Of yielding from ten thousand 10
twenty thousand impressions. The producer
will undertake to supply Bank of England
note so exactly copied that the person who
signed and issued it should no, be able to swea;
which was The original and which the copy.
Many guesses have been made as 10 The
mode by which this marvellous process is st
fecied, bu. as yet without result. The process
does not even infer necessity of injuring Ihs
prin, delivered as model, which is returned
unscalhed. The inventor is an Englishnan
and an eDgrsver by profession. He has taken
no patent, neither does he think il expedieuln to
do so, inasmuch as, if he does, any unprinclpsl
person may al once adopt il, with lhlle prOba
bility of the inventor being able to prove that
his process has been the medium by which he
print has been produced A friend of the aH'
thor Of the invention, says, with justice, "Ihen
is no knowing 10 what extensive changes 10
legislation il may conduce; for, if any printed
or written document, can be forged with so much
ease and certainty as to defy detection, The
consequences may be more appalling than 7"
care to anticipate"
The invention embraces the capacity 10 re-
produce any form of letier-press, or any quari
Of print, drawing, or li.hograph, in an unllmll'
quantity, in an inconceivably brief space \
time. For instance, from single copy oil
lntelligencer plates might be produced in iS'f
ty minutes from which impressions could ;"
worked off with the ordinary rapidly Of ih
steam-press. The fines, and rarest engrarIng1
may be reprinted I'D infn,tum; bank notes n'
be reproduced in fac-simile, without The slg
est point of difference and lasr, though n'
least, books may be reprinted, as from slsf''
types, in unlimited quantity. Indeed, the 'r
, rious mechanical and other interests affects
by this remarkable discovery have not ye' O''
, half enumerated.

Annexation OF Texas.

The long agony is over, and as far as the &C.
iion Of this government can make it, Texas is
now an integral part of the United States. The
House Resolutions, with an amendment, passed
the Senate on Thursday last by vote of Yeas
"a, Nays 25; which amendment was concurred
in by the House, on Friday, by the following
vote, Yeas l32, Nays 76. The Resolutions,
as thus amended, leave i. optional with the
President, either 10 take Texas into The Union
a, once, upon her complying with few re-
quiremenis, or TO open a negotiation with her
for that purpose, as he may see proper. This
was tackled on 10 the original Resolutions, for
The purpose Of securing The support of Messrs.
Benton, Tappan and Niles, who would other
wise have opposed them.
Every loco foco Senator cast his vote in fa-
vor OF Them; whilst on the other hand, every
Whig Senator opposed them, except Messrs.
Johnson, of La, Henderson, OF Miss, and MER-
RICK, of Maryland. The two former voted in
accordance with the wishes of their respective
States but the latter, WILLIAM D. MERRIcK,
,reacherously betrayed his constituents and his
country, and secured the passage of the iniqu-
tous Resolutions. His vote against Texas,
would have produced lie, and prevented an.
nexation--bu, like traitor as he is, he desert.
ed his friends, and placed them in minority
He has no doubt received his reward LIE,
him henceforth be despised and shamed by all
doropt pd booouy,b1o man
The consequence of this act, will no doub'
be a war with Mexico, which will cost ihe
United States millions Of dollars, and The blood
of many of our bravest countrymen. l. will al
so lhrong the seas with Priuateers, who will
annoy our merchantmen. and destroy our com
merce. And who will undertake to say lha, i
may moi ultimately lead TO dissolution of the
Union itself. The Constitution has been yio
lated. The rights Of The Northern States hav.
been disregarded and uampled npon And
who shall restrain them from standing up il
their own defence. As friends of our glorious
Union, We see much cause TO be alarmed 70
the future. Ia our next, we will speak of ,h
subjec. more at large.

but said nothing, and when he had got some
twenty or thirty yards, jumped from his horse
and attempted to hitch him to The fence, but
failed, and Immediately leveled his gun at my

jumped to the ground, and Johnson said "Mr.

two inches in diameter, crushing the skull and
lodging in the brain. The second load must
have passed over his head as he fell, as there

struck ii, just behind where he stood.
Johnson, filled with horror at the scene,
mounted his horse aud started 10 look for help;

states in The notice given 10 The Monroe Dem
