Dead Subscribers.

The story below has been going the
rounds of the press for several years; and as
it can lose nothing by being old, we give it
for the benefit of non paying patrons, in the
hope that they will save US the trouble Of
publishing their obituaries by making i'm.
mediate payment:
A long winded subscriber to a newspaper
after repeated dunnings, promised that the
bill should be bald by certain day If he was
alive. The day passed over and no money
reached the Office. In the next number,
thereafter of the newspaper, the editor inser.
ted among the deaths notice OF his subscri-
ber's departure from this life Pretty soon
after the announcement, the subject Of it
appeared to ths editor-not with pale and
ghas,iy countenance usually ascribed to ap-
partitions, nor did he wait to be spoken to but
broke silence.
"What sir, did you mean by publishing my
DEATH"
Why, sir, mean what / mean when /
publish the death ofany person, viz: to let
the world know that he is dead
But am not dead"
"Not dead; then it is your own fault, for
you told me you would positively pay your
bill by such day if you lived to that time.
The day possed, the bill is not paid and you
positively must be dead; for I wouId not be
lieye you would forfeit your word.
"Oh no I see that you have got round me,
Mr.. Editor; but say no more about there's
the money. And harkee my wag, you'll
contradict my death next week!",
80, certainly, sir just to please you; tho
upon my word, / can't help thinking you
were dead at the time specified and you have
come back to pay this bill on account of your
friendship to me.'

SGGRAPEs AND WINE.-It is stated in
one of our exchanges, that during the pres
ent year there will probably be raised a
grape crop sufficient to make 600, 900 gallons
Of Catawaba Wine. The demand for that
article far exceeds such product. Ac.
cording to paper now before US, il the crop
stated above were doubled every year for
ba Wine would not be overstocked. Until
there shall be five millions Of acres planted
in vines, the prize Divine cannot be reduced
to a minimum in the United States. A gen.
eral cultivation of the pure grape is the best
"Main Law" that could possibly be pro-
posed.

sGTThe officers Of the navy are beginning
