We very checrf ully comply with Mr.. Burn
HAMS request, aud publish the foregoing no.
tice;" but we have heretofore declined, and
shall hereafter decline, to insert such notices
as Advertisements, unless we are paid for them
Mr.. BURSHAM works for small pay, we have no
doubt; but that is no reason why we should
work for no pay, even though it be to oblige
1" the friends of Education, among whom we
take the liberty to number ourselves. Printers
have to pay the cash for every type they order
to be set, and when they publish these Notices
interesting to :" friends of Education" sra.
tultously, they get no manner of credit or
patronage for it. We very frankly promise to
do no more disin,erested labor of this kind If
the State will not pay for printing the neces-
sary " notices" to carry out the system o. pop
ular education it has established, or will not
give lis agents enough TO remunerate them for
paying the printer" the State may 90 a-beg-
gng to some other paper. When we assist
the 6 friends Of Education" we prefer to 90 it
in our own way.
Mr.. BURNHAM, whom we highly respect, will
not imagine that we are rejecting in the re-.
hottest degree upon him or his associates, by
these remarks. We only wish to be under
stood as saying that we can't afford to print
and publish advertisements (however worthy
may be their object) for nothing. We are will
ing to do our share, in the way Of improve
ment,' but we propose to stop there. The
"programme' promised by Messrs. NEwToS
and BURSHAM will not 60 into the Free Press
unless it is to be paid for.

-Speaking of the practice nova, days in
vogue, OF using the fork to the almost entire
neglect of the knife, "Amasa" remarked that he
couldn't become reconciled to it, anyhow" 81
can get along pretty WE'LL said he, ''only when
come to eatin' custard pie have TO leave the
crust, ami then alters thinks of that are orful
spankn got, wonce, when | was little un,
for doing the same thing" And as that bright
spot in his early career rose in his memory and
stirred his tenderest recollectlons, Amasa went.
The LATEST DoDGE.-Some Jour. Tai
lors being s;rapt, and desiring something to
pay their bills with when they were on their
tramp, took the flannel sheets of the bed Gu
them up and made them into drawers, and in
the morning paid their bill with them, and sold
the balance to the landlord for two dollars in
cash. Sharp practice, that!
Much anxiety is manifested as to where
the mighty gathering Of Democracy, No. ., viii
find suitable accommodations Tomorrow. 1t
has been suggested, in case the Supreme Court
do not adjourn, and tender them the Cour
Room, that the large and spacious Verandah,
formerly used as Candy and Nu>seIling es-
Enlistment, can be obtained without much ex-
pense. AS it is mounted on trucks, and can be
readily placed in different positions, it seems
admirably adapted to the present exigencies of
the Truck and Decker Party.
Our readers will notice that Mcssrs. BATCH
ELDER g. ToWsLEY are quite up to their neigh.
bors in preparation for the Spring and Summer
campaign. The man that expects to circum-
VENT our friend BATcHELDER, in matters of
business, will find it necessary to have some
body readylo call him pretty early in the morn
ing. A better, or more extensive, assortment
OF Doors and SHOES than Messrs. BATcHELDER
d IowsLEY offer to the public, can scarcely be
found this side of the villages of New York and
Boston. REUEEs is "trump card" fhe
