Arts of Beggars i'm New York.

A writer in this city, 10 New Haven paper,
says the N. Y. Express, aludes TO two wretch
ed looking women, with emaciaed infants in
their arms, begged for bread, near fashionable
jewelers. shop, in Broadway, where the rich
were making liberal purchases. In relation 10
this allusion, The Tribune has correspondent,
who tells this story. few months since, a
clergyman in this city was frequently visited by
female, who uniformly brought in her arms an
infant clothed in rags, and so poor and emacia-
ted that, apparently, the little sufferers exis-
tence, could not be many days prolonged. AZ
ter suitable relief had been furnished 10 the
child, in the way of clothing, the clergyman
went to another house, TO make call and there
found the ''living skeleton" again, he had just
relieved. This time it was in the hands of
another mother, and clolhed in rags as be-
fore. He investigated the matter and found
that The child was starved for the purpose of
being used as capital in begging-lhal four diff
ferent females used it for this purpose, each
using different streets to exhibit il in and all
claimed it as their own. They cleared by the
operation about six dollars per week.

To all Concerned.

We would call The attention of some of our
subscribers, and especially certain Pos, Mas
ters, to The following reasonable, and well SET
lied rules of Law in relation TO publishers, 10
the patrons of newspapers.
THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
/. Subscribers who do not give e1preSs no
tice TO The contrary, are considered as wishing
10 continue their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the disconlnuance of
their papers, the publishers may continue 10
send them ill all a.rearages are paid.
3. II subscribers neglect or refuse 10 lake
their papers from The officers TO which they are
directed, they are held responsible ill they
have seued their bill, and ordered their papers
disconiined.
A. Ii subscribers remove to other places with
out informing The publishers, and their paper is
eni 10 the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
S. The courts have decided that refusing 10
take a newspaper or periodical from The Office,
or removing and leaving i, uncaled for. is "pri-
ma facie" evidence of intentional fraud.

A Warning to Farmers.

A short time ago, says the Bangor Courier,
several loads of large, well fa,ed and well
dressed hogs were brought into the market, but
they were all more or less tainted. They were
loaded upon the sleds before the animal heat
had entirely left The body, and though but few
hours had elapsed they had become tainted

left to get clear Of the animal heat. Haste in
getting hogs to marke. in such cases, is pro-
duclive of great waste.

Reduction of Postage.

We regret 10 learn, that the Post Office Com.
miltee in the House, have reported back the
Senate Bill for the reduction of postage on let
ters and newspapers, with recommendation
that another Bill now before The House, be
substituted for it. This destroys all hope thai
any thing will be done this session, to reduce
ihe present exhorbiiant rates Of postage. The
people must therefore submit 10 be taxed ano-
'her year TO pay for the wholesale abuse of The
Jranking sprsUilege, by Members of Congress,
and other public functionares.

Mr.. Clay af Home.

A Corresp spondent Of The National lnlellgen-
ington, and saw Mr.. CLAY almost every day,
and can sincerely say tha, am no, less sur
prised than delighted 10 observe how well he
is. All his friends would rejoice and be proud
al The manner of his department in present cir
cumslances. Every body says, How well
Mr. CLAY looks, and how cheerful ne Isl" He
has gone inlo his Office TO work like young man.
II is pity aud inorlifying that he should be
obliged TO do H. But was there ever a silua-
ton 10 which Mr.. Clay did not show himself
equal!
Ii is impossible lha, he should be Indifferent
TO public affairs He does not affect it. But
events have removed from him great Ioad of
responsibility While he was in public life he
occupied The position of leader, if NOT the
leader of the party which has been long
struggling 10 rescue the country from misrule.
The eyes of at least one half the nation were
directed to him, and their hopes hung upon him.
Ii was impossible that Mr.. Clay should not feel
the pressure of such position. But now he
is in retirement, and nv judgment is, that his
improved aud improving appearance, of whit h
every body speaks, is TO be attributed chiefly
to the relief he feels by ,he removal of the re-
sponsibilies of his previous relations 10 the
public. God grant lie may live many years in
health and comfort!
Mr.. Clay talks Of going to New Orleans soon
wish he would, as think it would be pleas
AMI 10 him and his friends. wish he could af-
ford 10 spend the remainder Of his days in ease,
and occasionally go out among his friends with
oul parade, as he would desire. know The
hearts Of the people would be strongly moved
towards cheliain who has for two score years
Tough, their battles SO faithfully, and with no
small success. But they would not trouble him
with parade. They can think and feel how
much the country is indebted to him; and that
if he has not been able TO do all be wished for
them, he has held back, and often rolled back
the tide of ruin. No doubt that thousands of
them, if they were 10 come near enough would
drop tear Of gratitude on his hand. But they
must be conien, with saying, God bless him |!
He has lived for his country; has served it as
few men ever did, and the testify Of his fideli-
ty is in the hearts of the people say, most
fervenily, Cop BLESS HIN!

A Relic.

A few days since an old oak was cut d,rn
at shor, distance from Harrisburg, Pa. (ao,
near an old revolutionary relic known as Paw
on's church, y which upon counting the growll,,
proved to be near hundred years old aud pa,.
fecily embedded In it at height Of near hjr,v
feet from The ground, was found well shspel
morter and peslle. and an instrument very uprh
resembling our axe, though much smaller i,
size. They had evidently been placed in he
crotch of The tree, which had grown together
over them, and from an examination of the seq.
lion ii is perfectly manifest that they must have
been there a. least 200 years. They are #
very hard and hinly stone, and in their finish
exhibit much skill.
