Important 70 Postmaslers and the
Public.

FuDItCs
We are requested to call special attention
to the law just passed by Congress, modify
ing the rates of postage, etc., particularly to
those provisions requiring that all letters be-
tween places in the United States shall be
prepaid from and after the first of April,
1855, by stamps or otherwise, and that from
and after the first Of January msrt, postmas-
tiers must place postage stamps upon all pre-
paid letters upon which such stamps maynot
have been placed by the writers, or which
may not be enclosed in stamped envelopes.
From and after the first Of April, 1865, the
postage to be charged on each single letter
! for any distance in the United States not ex.
ceedrg 5000 miles is three cents, and over
| 5000 miles ten cents.
The law does not change the existing
rates or regulations in regard to letters to or
from Canada or other foreign countries, nor
does il affect the ranking privilege.
The provisions in regard to the registra'
ton of valuable letters will be carried into
effect, and special instructions issued to post
masters on the subject, as soon as the me-
cessary blanks can be prepared and dis
trbuted.
We beg to suggest that editors generally
throughout the United States would render
an essential service to their reader;
by calling attention to this subject

Fearful Adventurc.-A Boy Falling
One Hundred Feet.

One Hundred Feet
Last Saturday thrilling circumstance
occurred at Patterson's Falls, in Sparta,
about five miles north of this village. A
little boy only four years old, son OF Mr.. Il.
l. Patterson, left the house of his parents
about two O'Clock, and wandered to the head
Of tbs Falls, half q mile distant. He, not re-
turning at FIVE o'clock, search was mace
in the direction of the Falls. when at once
the worst fears of his parents were req
LIKED.
He had gone over the brink of the fright
full precipice, as his track in the snow gave
evidence, which covered the more abrupt
juts of the Fails. In the distance below,
dark speck was all that could be seen, and
nothing could be heard except the sepuchra
roar of the water. After considerable diff
Guilty the summit of the Falls was Effected
The dark speck proved to be the hole pro-
duced by the fall, from which he was thrown
into the snow about three yards to the LETT
He had fallen one hundred feet, and finding
he could not retrace his steps, he ventur
ed further, passing over three other falli
less dangerous, where he was found nearly
frozen.
According to the boys account, he ther
felt sick. He was Immediately taken to thu
house, and soon revived. What is particular.
ly providential, is the fact that he received
no other injury than slight bruise upon mi
head, and the severe cold he suffered while il
his dismal abode. He honored US with
visit yesterday, and we found him a pattern
of boy worth looking at.

The Last Link Is Broken.

The telegraph announcement of yester'
day, in relation to the result of the election
in New Hampshire, would indicate that the
last fortress and stronghold of Pierce Demo-
cracy had fallen. The lightning message
bearing this doleful intelligence to the rresl'
dent, but glad tidings to the great mass OF
the American people, may be premature;
possibly incorrect, but enough has previously
trapspired in the political orgies 9th Gran
lite State to render the result indicated by
our partial returns, more than probable.
The question now naturally suggests itself
If the President can't carry New HamP.
shire, what State can he carry. Concord
and Dover repudiate him, and the Legisla-
ture of his own native State has twice STALL
ed, when attempts have been made to elect
men of the Presidents choice. How humili-
ating must be the reflection that only two
short years ago, the President entered the
White House with an apparently omniPotent
party at his back, and that now he can only
witness the scattered limbs of the orgsniza-
ton, chilled with apathy and indifference
about him. The great pyramid of States
which, by their overwhelming majorities,
proclaimed Gen. Pierce President of the
United States, have since his accession, been
steadily receding from his policy, until, final
", the last Granite corner stone has been
crushed beneath the Juggernaut car of "man'
ifest Destiny" The great American heart
is swelling with events, which threaten tt
revolutionize the entire political machinery
of our government.
The prognostics of the future clearly indi
cate that the american people" are about
to assume and control their own destinies
and wrest from the political demagogues the
little brief power which has been, in their
hands, but continued treachery and misrule
That there is a new era about to commence
in our government, requires no very greal
penetration to foresee.. The good work il
going on everywhere, and the ripe fruit will
in due season be produced. The nation vii
be purged and pruned of its fungus encum'
brances upon its body polite; then will be
the Millennium, of which the political results
which are now being daily announced, are
but the prelude.

effect on the Est of April, the language Of the
bill being:
"In lieu Of the rates now established by
law, there shall, after the commencement OF

The intention of the Lawmakers was, that
the law should take effect at the commence

it is. So says the Cincinnati Commercial

SPRING Goops-LARGE ARRIvAL.-Messrs
Merritt, Field g. Co. have just received a large
stock of Spring Goods for the wholesale
trade, as will be seen by advertisement. In
this stock is comprised every thing desirable
by the country trade, while the firm promises
to sell better goods cheaper than they can be
bought at Cincinnati or Louisville. Country
dealers would do well to examine this stock
before going to distant markets.

Cur German neighbor Of the Reform is
Aagellating the Know Nothing organ in
good earnest, for its conte mtu Gus treatme mt
of the Germans, in its "welcome to Col.
Drew" They (the Germans) have petted
and serenaded and toadied the thing till
he actually believes that he can do just as
he pleases with them. and that they will
think it all right. BY accident he occasionally
lets his contempt for foreigners leak out, as
he has done in this CASE Eng.
II by accident, or in any other manner,our
neighbor could occasionally let truth leak
into his editorials, it might prove refreshing
variety. We have always preserved toward
Cur German fellow citizens, one course of
conduct, and that is to treat them just pre-
cisely as we do all other "American citizens"
We have defended them from the infamous
attacks of the Enquirer, and we will do So
again under similar circumstances, but we
shall just as quickly condemn them when
they are in the wrong. The Enquirer says
the Germans have toadied US till they have
spoiled us. Well, we are not in the habit
Of toadying the Germans, or any other class
of our fellow citizens, nor had we remarked
that they ever SO far stopped as to "toady'us.
They have treated us with respect, and even
at times have highly complimented us, and
we hope to preserve the respect of the better
class of Germans. As for those Germans
who are so fond of prating about tyranny
and despotism in connection with the Amer
leans who made this Prohibitory Liquor Law,
and have been trying to get up torch light
procession to honor a man for opposing this
Lap to the end-we care nothing for their
good or bad opinions. The editor of the Re-
form in attacking us in the manner we un-
derstand by the Enquirer he has done, is but
giving voice to this particular class of Ger
mans. They are the only class which have
been alluded to by US, and the only class
which could take offence at our remark that
they considered their liberties attacked, be.
cause the privilege was taken away from
them of drinking beer by the gallon and sell.
ing it by the glass. The more intelligent
Germans take no offence at our remarks 4, land
we should be very sorry indeed to give then
any cause for Withdrawing the good opinion
OF us we have been led to believe they en-

A NEwsBoY's CoNCERr.-The Newsboys
of New York participated in the enjoyment
of Concert, given night or two ago, at the
Broadway Tabernacle. The entertainment
was intended especially for the particular
class alluded to. Quite long description is
given in the Express. The more immediate
object was to procure funds with which 10
secure additional accommodations tn the
lodging rooms. 1t was well attended by per.
sons anxious to witness the newsboys' per-
formances-some drawn thi,her by the phi.
lanthropic promptings of their hearts, and
others attracted merely by motives of curios.
y. The number of boys who took part in
the proceedings Of the evening, was abou,
thirty, and they were assisted by many ladies
and gentlemen who had volunteer ed their
services for the occasion. A bOut one hun.
dred newsboys were seated as spectators in
the gallery! The programme of the proceed
ings included number Uf fine choruses and
solos, sung generally with great effect and
in most cases encored. Several pieces were
spoken by the boys and two addresses made
by gentlemen who were present. The most
remarkable performance ofthe evening how.
ever, was sort of schoolboys' opera, which
the Express says was truly a masterpiece, and
brought down the house. 1t is thus described:
at was conducted by eight boys and Mr.
Van Meter. The boys formed a circle on
the stage. with books in hand, and proceeded
to repeat in rhyme the alphabet, while Mr..
v. M. stood in the centre with large roll OF
paper, representing whip, with which he
ran from one boy 10 another, alternately
shaking one, pulling the hair or ears of an.
other, whipping the next apparently unmerci.
fully, knocking another down, thrashing and
tumbling him about the floor, and patting an.
other on the head and shoulders. These
punishnents were all borne with q good
grace by the boys, who Immediately on his
back being turned, would trip him, pull his
hair or coat, hit him with their fists, or stea
his handkerchief. All this was gone through
with by the boys, with out in the least inter.
fering with their exercises"
The exercises throughout were very sue
cessful and satisfactory, and the audience
went to their homes fully confirmed in the
belief that the newsboys of New York Gere
by no means the little barbarians which they
are generally supposed to be.
