Support Your Local Paper.

The local press, says the Deuot DAILY
Advertiser, is empharicalIy The rep'e'en-
tative and the exponent Of local Interests
wants and wishes ofeach community and
on its energy and watchfulness. Each
community should first see that its iocaI
Press is put upon a firm and substantial
footing, which can only be done by a
steady and liberal patronage.
If each member of a community would
become at once a paying subscriber to The
paper of his own town and county, SIX
months would not eIapse before the en-
largement and improvements which would
take place in our papers would enable
each person to dispense with one or more
eastern papers, without finding his iacIIi-
ties for intelligence in the least dImlnISh-
ed.
A people comm, no greater error than
that of permitting their local press to
anguish by reason Of an inadequate sup,
port. Never say that your county paper
is small and not worth taking; give It tie
support to which it is entitled, and it Will
be Immediately enlarged and improved, so
as to meet the full expectations and wants
of the community in which it is located.
We believe that publishers are generally
liberal in responding to liberal patronage
by the improvement Of their papers, as an
appreciation of such liberaIity.
If man is able TO take but one paper,
that should be the one published nearest
to his place ofresidence and the next should
be one published at the commercial me-
lropois of his State; thus having first
taken care of his own local and State IN
leresls, he will have rendered himself able
TO consult his taste as to the paper he viii
lean upon for amusement or additional rea-
ding from abroad.

Private advices from Mexico induce
the belief that formidable opposition is

reasonable time-until he receives money
from the United States to establish his

AN EXTENSIVE SwINDLE.--A success
full swindle upon produce firm in New
York, by means Of forgery, is thus repor-
ted in the Cleveland Plaindealer:
During the past season Spectator in
Licking county, Ohio, borrowed there,
upon his own paper, endorsed by several
of the most esponsible men of the county,
100000. This amount he invested in
hogs, and soon applied to the lender for
funds. The application was declined and
soon after The lender received from New
York firm letters inquiring in regard TO
the responsibility of the men who had
endorsed the paper he held. His reply
was satisfactory, and the Spectator OBJ
tanned advances from the New York firm
10 the amount of $4,000. One day he
"came up missing" and the fact was
ascertained that the endorsements upon
his paper, and upon which he obtained
credit for $4,000, were all forgeres
We understand that he paid up the 100000
but that the New York item is left I'M
protected.

IMPORTANT DECISIoN.-Chief Justice
fancy, of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States has recently decided most inn
portant point and one which, at some time
or other, touches the interest of almost
every individual, viz: Whether money
RENTED from debtor TO creditor By
mail and lost in the transmit releases the
debtor from his obligation 10 pay. The
chief Justice laid down the rule that when
the creditor requests the debtor 10 remit
the money, without specifying or direct
ING in what manner it should be done,
and the debtor complies with the request
by RENTING through the mail, as is the
custom with others, the debtor will not be
responsible for the loss Of the money, and
further, that all previous decision, which
conflict with this rule are erroneous. This
decision, settles the law on the subject,
and all interested should note and remem-
Der its import.

good deal of work they had labored hard
to perfect. Some seventy bills were left
unsigned on the toble Of the Executive al
the time of the adjournment, and the Gov
ernor refuses his signature on the ground
that the Constitution requires it 10 be
affixed while the Legislature is in session,
