TIE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.
i. Subscribers who do not give express no.
tice to the contrary, are considered as wishing
to continue their subscription.
2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of
their newspapers, the publisher may continue
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the offices to which they are
directed, they are held responsible till they
have settled the bill, and ordered them discon-
tinued.
a. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers, and the pa
pers are sent to the former direction, they are
held responsible.
5. The courts have decided that refusing to
take periodicals from the Office or removing
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facie
evidence of intentional fraud.

JESUIT IN DISGUISE.

The following rather singular state
ment, relating to jesuit in disguise,
IS communicated from Philadelphia,
where tho events narrated occurred q
few weeks since:
a colporteur, with two Bibles I'M
der his arm, came into the house where
l happened to be at the time. Appa-
rently weary and fatigued he took u
chair ncarthc window. Notwitlstaud.
ing THE fatigue Of the body, his mind
appeared full Of vigor, while he freely
INDUCED his lcquacious disposition
Tie said no had been expelled or ex-
communicated, by the Roman Catholic
Church, because he had been connected
with the Frecmesons; and now hav-
ing no connection with tho church of
Rome. and believing in the circula,
ton of the Bible, he had for years
made 1T his business to sell tho good
book, in the accomplishment of which
object he had trayersed % States of
the Union. lie proceeded to lament
the controversy that was now carried
on by different Protestant religions,
about the mistakes, etc., in the transla-
ton; how it weakened the influence of
the Bible among the people, etc. 1t
had passed through so many hands
that VIC could scarcely tell which part
was authentic, or which was not. That
1t had bcceme so corrupt, that every
religion could draw on the Bible for
proofs of their doctrine, no matter how
much they differ from each other. That
the difference among religious bodies
was not so great as was generally sup
posed by the people; that it was the
avaricious disposition of the clergy that
caused them to magnify these little
difficulties that avaricious disposition
that had contaminated tho Church of
Rome in the days of the greatest of
men, the immortal Martin Luther. But
now tho Protestant clergy had become
worse than the Church of Rome was
at that time, while the Church of Rome
had reformed in thatrcspect; that al.
though he had been badly treated by
the Church Of Rome, yet Justice COM
PEELED him to say that her present char
actcr was misrepresented by the Pro-
tcstants; and that the Church of Rome
never prohibited the reading of the
Scriptures. At this point quoted the
language of one of the DEGREES of the
Council Of Trent: 'Thc indiscriminate
reading of the Scriptures is intcrdict-
Cd. The Jesuitical glance he gave as
l spoke, strengthened the opinion l
had already formed, that he was none
other than Jesuit priest. l continu-
ed to speak for some time, when he
commenced TRADE of abuse, in which
he acknowledged his connection with
the Church of Rome, and that he was
in her employ. "--Zion's Advocate.

IMPORTANT DECfsIoN.-Tho Legis-
laturc of Virginia, Says the Stanton
Spectator, several years ago, passed
law imposing a tax of tWo per- cent.
upon all deyisees or legacies to any
person other than the father, mother,
husband, wife, brother, sister or lineal
descendant Of the decedent. This pro.
vision was Omitted in the tax bill pas
scd at the last session Of the Legisla-
turc, bat the Auditor continued as be-
fore to insert the item in the schedule
furnished to Commissioners of the Rev.
cnue. At the late term Of the Circuit
Court Of Rockbridge, the legality Of
tho tax was tested in the case Of Sal.
Ing 5 Ex. ys. Salling's devisecs, Col. j.
B. Baldwin appearing for the com.
plants. Judge Thompson decided
that there was no law authorizing the
tax, and that any law of tho kind
would be unconstitutional and void
In Rockbridgc county alono the State
tax on collateral inhcritanccs and do
yiscs amounts this year to upwards Of
$4,000, and there 10 probably not a
county in tho State where the tax has
not been assessed to o greater or less
extent.

Taylor requested oil present who be.

their hands, and about three-fourths
OF the audience complied.
The Captain confirms the fact of the
concentration of the population of Utah
in Salt Lake Valley by the abandon.
ment OF the remote settlements, and he
estimates the force the Mormons can
set in the field at between five and six
thousand. They have abandoned the
CO milestone fertilization at Fort Bridg-

me by party Of Californians, and the
men employed there have fallen back
abont twenty miles to redoubt called
Fort Supply. He was also given to
understand that they intended to recall
Their missionaries from the States, but
not from foreign countries. ....
With regard to divisions in the Nor
mon community, he satisfied himself
that there does indeed exist in certain
quarters dislike of the present auth
critics of the Church, but he is also
satisfied that it is in such subsection
that nothing less than the presence of
a commanding gentle force will enable
it to develop itself.

CFsAR's OPINION OF His LIKENESS IN WoR-
sTED WORK.-ln a review Of The Apocatasta-
Sis work against spiritualism, published in
1851, at Burlington, VT, the Boston Daily Adver-
tiser tells the following story:
"A most respectable, though not very cultiva-
ted lady, once invited us to private exhibition
Of rappings and scratchings, by which she be-
leved that she held converse with her own de-
ceased friends, as well as with many people who
had been illustrious in their day and generation
As we were looking about her simply furnished
parlor, our eyes fell upon screen whereon his
tOrical scene-the passage OF the Rubicon we will
call twas depicted in wOrsted work. Now,
any one familiar with the specimens of this art.
which are sold at our country fairs, will agree
that, however interesting they may be as monu-
ments of human patience and human eyesight,
they do not possess the additional interest of
greatly resembling any terrestrial objects with
which we are acquainted. The visage of Caesar
on the screen was no exception to the rule; square
patches of red were driven in to represent the
flush upon his cheeks. black triangles, consisting
OF three stitches, did duty as his eyebrows, while
his eyes were glass beads, that stared in different
directions. AS this screen was evidently the or
nament of the house. we haZarded the observa-
tion that il must have taken long time to work
it-or something of that sort. Yes replied our
hostess, but that is the least part Of its interest
for Julius Cesar came here the other eUeniHg and
told US it traS a capital likeness"
