have been repeatedly held by our
courts. We commend them TO the
attention OF postmasters, and desire
that they may show 1t to such as de-
cline taking their papers out of the
office, without having paid up arrear-
ages:
l. Subscribers who do not give
express notice TO the contrary, are
considered as wishing 10 continue
their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discon.
tinuance OF their papers, the publish.
ers may continue TO send them until
all arrearageS are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse
to take their papers from the offices
to which they are directed. they are
held responsible until they have set.
tied their bill. and ordered their paper
discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other
places, without informing the pub
fishers, and the paper is sent to the
former direction, they are held re-
sponsible. @ .--- .t---'
8. The courts have decided that
refusing to take paper or periodical
from the Office, or removing and
leaving it uncalled for, is ''prima
facis" evidence Of intentional fraud.

were treated still worse, so much so,
that all Of them jumped overheard,
and endeavoring TO escape. Having
been saved from drowning, they
were again taken on board, and soon
after, the schooner sailed for Stock
