ALWAYS PAY ron YOUR NEwsPAPER.-The most
remarkable case of rcmorsc within cxpericns,
which has been somewhat large, has occurred late
ly. William II. V. k, having dcfrauded all
his creditors, absquatulated suddenly 10 Alabam.
my. lie left the premises entirely unbcknown 10
them; and while they were inspecting their led
yards To what he owed them, casting up the
debit and the credit side of the ackeount, he was
safely swimmin' his horset over the creek at We
tumpky. The next day he cot up a segar store in
that town. But remorse wouldn't let him rest
while he was twisting up his tobacky. lie stood il
good while like sodger, but at last he was
obliged To cry out "Oh oh :" and tumbling down
onto his cot, he cried like child He writes us
word that he stood every think like a man stood
the debt he owed Mr.. Arkelarus for bread; stood
Mr. Pepperell's bill for groceries, stood the pangs
of conscience because he owed black Tmmns for
hirin' his little pony but when he come 10 think
that HAD READ TINE BUNKuM FLAo-STAFF, AND
COME orr WITHOUT sETTLIS', his heart bust.
He rolled onto the floor time or two, then goin'
in to his office, gin up. He enclosed us the money,
which we have received this day, and hereby ac-
knowledge. Our advice TO you, dear friend is to
keep your hands from pickn' and stealth, take
the Flag staff; but 10 keep yourself from tempta-
shing, pay in advance. Can you do any thing for
us in Wetumpky, Certngly. Cirkelate cirke-

CINCINNATI, Dec. Ii

CINCINNATI, Dec. 10.
The Rev. Mr.. Perkins, pastor of the Unitarian
church of this city, committed suicide last night,
by jumping from a ferry boat into the river whilst
crossing. He left his cloak, hat and memorandum
book on the boat. There is no doubt lac was Ia
boring under temporary insanity at the time. MIR.
p. was much esteemed by all, and has left an inter
estng family.
NASHVILLE, Dec. 10.
One of the boilers of the water works exploded
about noon day. The boiler shot through the
roof of the building and fell into the river at dis
lance of about one hundred yards. Two persons
were slightly scaded. The loss is about two thou
sand dollars.

PosT- OFFICE BoxEs.-Onc of our old respectable
merchants states that when Gen. Bailey was post
master, he was requested by the merchants to es-
tablish boxes in his office, corner of Garden and
William streets. He consented to have three hun
dred made, if they would guaranty him against any
loss he might sustain from them. John b. Murray,
father of Col. James b. Murray with two other
merchants, members of the Chamber of Commerce,
became responsible, and he had them made. Now,
instead Of three hundred, there arc more than three
thousand boxes, which yield more than enough to
pay the rent of the post office and that portion OF
the postmaster's salary which is allowed him from
the boxcs.--Nep York Epening Post.

CURRENCY IN CUBA.-A correspondent of the New
Orleans Picdpine, writing from Havana on the Both
of November, makes the following remarks in
gard to the currency of that place:
'In quoting exchange you will take into view the
borne here for a century past SIT. Silver can
only be obtained by paying about per cent, and
this only in moderate sums for small change, a
commercial demand for it could scarcely be met
any terms. The numerous strangers bound
hither at this season OF the year. If they bring Amer
lean gold, can at two places in town ex-
change it for the doubloon at SIT, but not always
in very large parcels There is, however, guam
tty of light doubloons in circulation out of the
place, and one that is the least wanting in weight
loses its current value and only be sold to the
jewellers in the proportion OF SIS SO for the full
weight hence that is 25c light will lose nearly
So The best currency for travellers on the island
is the parts of doubloons, full weight, with pro-
portion of pecetds, head pistareens, worth here
twenty cents. This is essentially 'hard money"
country, without banks or banking companies; and
whilst the good effects of such system, in restrain
ing the spirit of speculation, manifest and inn
portant, some arguments might be adduced on the
contrary, of the advantages that would flow from
relaxing the monopoly of the mere capitalist, and
bringing into competition the intelligence, the in
dustry, and the integrity of the rising generation,
often his superior in every thing but-the one
thing needfuli But the banking question has been
fruitful of dispute and results in the Uni
ted States, and it is not for my feeble pen, in this
place, 10 engage in its discussion. Banking con
slider, is to the commercial body like medicine TO
the human system used as a stimuant or curative
by sllilful hand il very often restores renvgo
rates the patient; but administered by quack-it

No TINE TO REAp.-How often do we hear men
excuse themselves from subscribing 70 paper or
periodical, by saying they have no time to read.
When we hear a man thus excuse himself we con
cludc he has never found time TO confer any sub
stantal advantage either upon his family his coun-
try or himself To hear freeman thus express
himself, is truly humiliating, and we can form no
other opinion than that such man is OF little inn
portancc TO society.
