there has been within the period mentioned
above, a very conspicuous and appreciate
improvement in the capacity and quality of

more observable in the country, than in the

the former by the present improved facilities
for procuring intelligence, the rapid trans
mission of news By Railroads and the Tele-

it from being utterly supplanted in doing its
work by the undertaking and solicitations Of

Correspondents Wanted.

Local news is the life of q country news pa
per, and we should be glad to infilse more OF
that vitality into TIE CATEDoNIAN. What is
going on III rth-Eastern Vermont is quite
as deserving of being put on record as what
is going on in China or Persia. and when put
or record will be read with as much interest
as news from other parts Of the country or
world. We would be glad. therefore, to be
informed of the events that are daily occur
ling in this part of the State. and when au-
chemically informed of them to put them on
record III THE CALIFORNIAN. To do this. we
must have the assistance Of our readers, and
We write this paragraph to solicit from them to
become not only readers but correspondents.
We want what Mr.. Gradgrind wanted

of all. poetry We claim the privilege of wri-
ting all the long. duli. prosy articles. our
selves. and We ask correspondents only to
give us facts in as plain and direct manner
as possible.
There is not reader Of THE CMEDoNl,N
who cannot do something for us in this be-
half and thus make the paper much more IN
tcresting not only to himself but to all the
other readers. If a farmer in Peacham raise
an extraordinary crop of any kind, let hin

Newspaper Law.

The law Of newspapers has been clearly
defined, and yet postmasters and subscribers
misapprehend its requirements, The fol-
lowing points have been decisivcly estab-
lished -
l. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considerd as wish
ing to continue their subscriptions.
.. If subscribers order the discontinuance
of their papers, the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the office to which thev are
directed, they are held responsible till they
have settled the bill, and ordered the paper
discontinued.
4. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publisher. and the pa
per is sent to the former direction, thev are
held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing
to take a paper from the office, or removing
and leaving it uncalled for, is prima facie
evidence Of intentional fraud.

STRIKE AND RIoT.-There was a strike
among the freight conductors on the Balti-
more & Ohio Railroad, in consequence of
sealing the cars. 1t seems the company had
been obliged for long time to pay for good
deal of lost freight, and settled on the above
plan to obviate that necessity The conduct
ors collected in large and riotous bodies and
attacked the trains with bricks, stones and
firearms. The military were called out, and
the rioters dispersed. Report says some were
killed and many seriously injured.

Ql)e Californian.
BY c. NJ. STONE & co.
St. Johnsbury, May 8, 1857.
TO Our Friends.

Encouraged by the success which has at
tended the publication of THE CALEDoNIAN
ever since our connection with it, we have
now replenished the Office with new type, and
the paper appears to-day in New Dress.
That we have been enabled to make this i'm
proyement is most gratifying to us, and we
trust that it will meet with the hearty appro-
baton Of our friends.
The character of The CALIFORNIAN will con-
tinuc to be maintained by the best talent that
can be obtained. No effort will be spared to
secure constant variety in its attractions.
1t will ever be its aim to Instruct, Benefit and
Amuse. The past, we believe, is the best
assurance that it will be frst-class, local
Newspaper.
The circumstances which led Mr.. RAND to
Withdraw from THE CALIFORNIAN were very
much regretted, but yet the path of duty
seemed none the less plain to him; and our
many readers who welcomed this paper tc
their tiresides during his connection with ii
will rejoice with us, in knowing that his
health is fast improving in different cline
and in pursuit of different occupation. This
sundering of ties which began when We
were BOYS together" and which have beer
cemented by years of labor and sympathy
hallowed by associations the most sacred
made daily pleasant by friends most dear
sanctifed by a friendship often tried but nev
err yielding; and crowned by success o
which We feel more proud than worthy
leaves room for thoughts of deep and some
times almost painful interest.
And now friends, We put out into the I'm
known future with new resolutions for excel
lencc; we hope to do our work better thai
ever before Blessed be Hope. Hope tina
