Town Council and citizens of Cadiz, to the
communication of "A Taxpayer" which
may be found in an other column. The i'm
proyements that he speaks of are much nee
ded, and would be Of an advantage incalcu-
liable, as well as an ornament to the town.
Wetrust that our Town Council will pay
heed to his suggestions. and if they are not
willing to take the responsibility upon them
selves. lei them, as "Tax-p Payer" says, call
a meeting Of the citizens to take into consid-
Grafton the object set forth in the communi-
cation, and we will insure the Council that
they will give them authority to make the
desired improvements.

High Prices and Printing.

There is vast amount of truth and good
sense in the following article which we copy
from the last MeadVille, Pa. Democrat
Every body seems to be realizing the
very highest price for their labor, except
the Printer The Farmer, with good crops,
is getting better prices. and in cash for eve-
rything he can produces, than since the fam
inc year in Ireland. This rise seems to
have affected almost every other branch of
business but ourown. We are feelingly re-
minded of this fact by letter from our Pa
per Maker, apprizng us of a material ad-
vance on our next lot of paper equal to IL
per cent. Notwithstanding this state Of
things we are astonished to see some Of our
contemporaries reducing the price Of their
subscrip ption--others increasing the size oI
Lheii papers, although already respectable
in their dimensions. Every man il presum-
ed to know his business best and has the
right to adopt such measures to promote it
as he may deem proper, but we must be
permitted to say, we do not understand the
wisdom of their course. 1t seems natural
to us, that while every thing around us is
advancing in price, true policy would die
tate that the Printer should follow the ex-
ample set before him. or at least stand firm
| ly BY his old prices. We consider the prac-
tice of those who are pursuing contrary
course, az foolish and imp little. They will
be convinced Of this before a twelve month
passes. So far as we are concerned, we do
not mediate any increase in the price Of
our paper. But we shall hold on 10 our old
rates, and only desire that our friends be
more punctuaf in their payments. Before
we increase the size Of our paper, or lower
its price, we shall. very likely give up the
business and so to farming or something else
DOT so troublesome as printing, and that
Nould pay better. The business, never very
good. is being ruined by the mad rivalry Of
country publishers, Who are content t. live
from "hand To mouth, /" in order to ape the
size and prices Of the ,overgrown establish
ments In Tie large cities. - l.aa !e&Fsf
