NEWSPAPERS MUST BE-PAID FORA case
was tried yesterday, in the Common Pleas
before Judge Kelly, in Which the right of a
newspaper publisher to exact payment from
subscriber, who neglects or refuses to give
notice to stop his paper, was fully tested
The case was that of Philip T. Freas VS.. Ja-
cob Haas. 1t was an action to recover the
subscription price of the Germantown Tele-
graph for IL years. The paper was left at
public honse in the vicinity of the defen-
dant's stall, in Callowhill street, (the defen-
dant being butcher at the time,) at the ex
press direction of Mr.. Haas, where it con-
tinued to be left for the space of time stated.
The defence was two fold-lst, the statute
of limitations; and I'd, that the paper should
have been left at the residence of the defen-
dant, as it was known to the plaintiff.
Judge Kelly charged the jury, that where
person subscribes for paper, and gives d.
rections where it shall be left. he is bound to
pay fo- it, unless he prescribes the time for
which it shall be left. If n subscriber wishes
to discontinue his paper it is his duty to
square his accounts, and then give notice for
discontinuance. If paper is sent to a
person through the Post Office, and he takes
it out, he is bound to pay for it. If sub
scriber changes bis residence, it does not fol-
low that the carrier must take notice of it,
and delivery of the paper at the place
where he was first directed to leave it, is a
delivery to the subscriber, unless the pub
Usher receives notice to discontinue or send
it to anotherplace
The statute of limitation did not affect
the case, as the defendant had paid some
thing on account in June, 1874 Verdict

A VIsIT TO THE MEXICAN CATHEDRAL-
A correspondent of the Washington Union,
writing from the city of Mexico, says:
"One day last week spent whole morn
ing (six bours) in examining the Cathedral
and its treasures. By special favor they
showed US everything, among others the Gus
todian, in which the consecrated host is ex-
posed on certain occasions. It cost 5000, 900,
but is worth $500,OOO; and you will not
wonder at this when inform you that it is
full four feet high, made of solid gold, and
studded with precious stones. The pedcs-
tai is foot and half square, inlaid with
diamonds and rubies. At each corner is the
golden figure of an angel, exquisitely cary
ed. Around his waist and neck are strings
of the finest pearls. His wings are inlaid or
covered with diamonds, rubies, and emer-
aids. In his right hand he holds sheaves Of
wheat. made Of yellow topez; in his left
punches of grapes made of amethytis. The
shaft is also studded with diamonds and ru-
bies. The upper part, containing the host,
is made to represent the sun, and is foot
and half in circumference the rays that
emanate on one side are made entirely of
diamonds Of the first water, beginning with
some of large size and gradually tapering
off, Theesoss that. surrounds the top Is al
30 on this side made of diamonds, and 10
superb. On the other side, both the cross
and the rays are of the most beautiful en-
eralds-perhaps larger than the diamonds"
How TO CURE a CoLD.--Of all other
means Of curing colds, fasting . the most ef.
fectual. Let whoever has cold, eat moth
ing whatever for two dsys, and his cold will
be gone, provided he is not confined. to bis
bed-because by taking no carbon into the
system by food, but consuming that surplus
which caused bic disease by breath, he soon
carries off his disease by removing the cause.
This will be found more ef5ectual IL he adda
