Subscribers TO Newspapers.

We epubllsh the fOllOwingfor the benefit Of sub
scribers 70 newspapers;
/. Subscribers who do not give notice 70 the
contrary, are considered as wishing to continue
their subscription.
2. If the subscribers order the discontinuance
Of their papers, the publisher may continue to
send them until all Arrearages are paid.
8. If subscribers refuse or neglect to take their
periodicals from the Office to which they are di-
Tected, they are held responsible until they have
settled the bill and ordered them discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places with
out Informing the publishers, and the papers are
sent to tho former direction, they ore held re-
sponsible.
8. The courts have decided that refusing to take
papers from the office, or removing and leaving
them uncalled for, is Prima Jaeis evidence Of in
tentional fraud.
Postmasters who notify publisher that his pa
Por is not taken from the office, arc required to
give tho reason why they are not taken out.-Sss

Newspaper Dialogue.

We take the following dialogue
from an exchange. There is reason
in the arguments adduced why the
"miserly subscriber" should continue
his paper. We have known persons
to stop paper because they could not
afford to take it." who were wasting
more than $3.50 every week, foolish
y:
SToP MY PApER.-"I am going to
stopmy paper" said a miserly subscri-
Der to one Of his neighbors. 81 can
not afford to take it."
"What is the price of it per year
said the other.
"One dollar, and a halt" was the
reply.
"And can't you afford one dollar
and a-halfa year9 Think of it,
only one dollar and a-half a year. A
year is q long time. Perhaps you
have only very few such to spend
here on earth. A year ! a whole
year and only one dollar and q half
And what do You get for your money!
A large, closely printed useful sheet,
giving, 1st.-The news of the week,
and the markets /; 2nd.-Very impor-
tant doctrinal discussions and essays {;
and, 9d.--A large amount of miscel-
laneous reading, agricultural, philo-
sophical and grave, light and humor-
Gus E; and yet you can't afford one dol
lar and a-half for such sheet for a
whole year."
"Well, I declare, neighbor, you
talk like an experienced man. nev.
er thought of it just in this light be-
fore. 1t is only one dollar and a-halI
for a gear. And yet the paper comes
to ME evsry aceek. And [ love to read
it. Ialways find something in it thai
interests me. And moreover, on 6
second thought perceive, that, after
all, "a good newspaper is about the
cheapest thing man can have. He
gets more reading forhis money thar
he can in any other way"
"True, neighbor, and this shows
that what have always said is true.-
Newspapers seem to have been de
signed, almost, for the peculiar bene
fit of the poor. No man is too poor Il
take good newspaper, because it il
the cheapest thing he can have"
Here both the speakers joined ant
said:
"Blessed are the editors, for they
feed the poor with knowledge;" anC
then they separated with looks o
high satisfaction.

The Belfast News Letter, one Of
the Oldest and most respectable journ.
ais of Ireland, makes public the follow
ing statement of ita Liverpool cores
pondert:
eve are assured that Chas. Sum-
ner and Lord Carlisle have been in
active correspondence on the Slavery
question. The league between the
Aristocracy ofthe oldworld and the alb
clifton disunionists Of the U. S. is per-
feet"
The Earl Of Carlisle is Lord Lieut..
Of Ireland-and Chas. Sumner is an
Abolitionist Senator of the United
States from Massachusetts, and kind
Of Drummond Light of the Black Re-
publican faction.
This disclosure of the Belfast Jour
nal, is only new evidence thus Of the
close and intimate alliance between the
Black Republican Abolition Party in
the United States, and the arlstocracy
of Great Britain, which was already
known to exist. 1t is not long since
that the London Daily News, the
oracle of the British Anti-Slayery So
ciety, declared right out, that in the
event ofa war between England and
the U. S., it had the fullest assur-
ance that the Anti-Slavery Party here
would be with Great Britain. Quite
natural, all this What sympathy
can the Aristocracy of Great Britain
have for the American Union, which
was reared on the ruin of a monarchy9
What love can their Abolition and
Black Republican allies, on this side
of the Atlantic, have for that same
Union, which is held together by a
constitution which they are in the
habit of denouncing as an "atrocious
bargain, may, the Union itself, as a
"League with Death, and a Covenant
with He'll. ."-N. Y. E'ep reSs.

ANsHiOutu
A few days since we embarked on board
of Wagon, for Murdock's station. To be
sure our seat was not soft as downy pill
lows are" being nothing but a six-inch
scantling laid lengthwise upon the running
gears Of the vehicle but then there were
two stout horses attached, and of course no
danger Of stulling from the heavy load---no
fears of blow-up or collision harrassed our
mind---and we felt safe. Besides, friend
Vansky, the owner of the wagon and team
and the driver thereof, entertained us with
several pleasant stories, so that, altogether,
the ride was not disagreeable.
Arrived at Murdock's---felt like inspec-
ting the Marietta g. Cincinnati Railroad
down to Halnden--shouldere our carpet
sack and "traVeled'-found out before we
got there "where we'd missed it'-under-
pinning began to fail---carpet-sack got heavy
thought it the. longest five miles ever
measured---thought the'road rOugh---couldn't
keep on the ties without looking at them
and were admonished of this fact by finding
ourself "getting up" after momentarily ta-
king our eyes off the road. Arrived at the
Station of the s. & H. V. Railroad about
noon, much like the Yankees veal, "kind O.
gin eout,"
Conductor JAMES RIGGS will accept oul
thanks for favors conferred, on the trip tc
Portsmouth. A more attentive conductor
than he is seldom found on any road. The
Scioto and Hooking Valley Railroad from
Jackson down, is in fine condition, and good
time is made on that portion oft. Persons
wishing to go from Hamden, via. Portsmouth
to Cincinnati, can now get through-tic kets
for 80, leave Hamden at o'clock A. NJ. :,
get on board of the splendid steamer Bos-
tona, or on the Kenton and arrive at Gin
cinnati by daylight next morning. Then,
If the person taking this route, can accom-
plish his business by IL o'clock on the day
