NoTIcE TO TRAvELERs.-Ths Harrisburg
(Pennsylvania) Union says that the follow.
ing "rules of the road" are all based upon
legal decisions, and that they ought to be
universally made known:
1t has been legally decided that applicants
for tickets on railroads can be elected from
the cars II they do not offer the exact amount
OF their fare. Conductors are not bound to
make change. All railroad tickets are good
until used, and conditions "good for this day
only" or otherwise limiting the time of gen
uineness, are of no account. Passengers who
lose their tickets can 'be elected from the cars
unless they purchase n second one. Passen-
gers are bound to observe decorum in the
cars, and nre obliged to comply with all reas-
enable demands to show their tickets
Standing upon the platform or otherwise
violating rule Of the company renders per.
son liable to be put from the train. No per-
son has a right to monopolize more seats
than he has paid for, and any article left in a
seat, while the owner is temporarily absent,
entities him 10 the place upon his return.
CLOUDS OF BUTrERFLIEs. The Charlottes-
VILE IN. CO Democrat says that in the west.
ern part Of the State, during the month of
August, at Ready Patch Gap, clouds of
butterflies passed over that section for eleven
days continuously. she expressed it, '',here
were considerable more than ninety thousand
Millions" causing many Of the settlers Of that
region totimagine that the last day had come.

in the severe labor Of clearing the land. the
Indian was employed less than the negro or

hunting, for the supply Of the family table
In such employment he was more skillul than
any other servant. and such pursuits barmo-
nized best with his tastes and previous train

woods with game; and we have evidence

10 Me Hhig Iolers ef Masseehssefts.

The undersigned. members Of the National
Wing party. beg leave 10 address to you
few words at this time. In view oi the pre-
sent political condition Of the country, and OF
the changes likely to take place in some Of
the prominent issues before the people during
the next Presidential contest, the time has
arrived. in our judgment, far reorganiza-
ton OF the Wing party. National and State.
This movement must begin somewhere, and
we know Of no place where it may with more
propriety begin than in the Commonwealth
Of Massachusetts. where Wing principles so
long fourished, and where the pulley Of the
Wing party 50 long prevailed. and produced
such good results.
We have therefore taken the first steps
towards a reorganization OF the party within
the State Of Massachusetts, BY designating
number oi gentlemen to act as Wing State
Committee, whose claims to the confidence
ct the Wings no one will dispute. Il will
be the duty Of this committee to open a cor.
respondence with Wings in other parts Of the
country, al such times as they may deem ex.
pedient, tor the purpose Of completing the
organization OF National Wing party a
duty which will be the more easily dscharg
ed from the fact that the National Wing Con.
yention. which sat at Baltimore in 1856, ap.
painted committee with reference to such
measure.
For reasons which will readily occur to
you, We have not deemed il expedlent to pre-
sent fpr your sulfrages any Wing ticket for
the ensuing State election. While we ad.
wise the Wing voters 70 be independent il,
this content. we do not advise them TO be neu-
tral. In our judgment, they should not
throw away their votes at random stlll less
abstain from voting at all. But in view Of
The policy and conduct Of The present State
administration, especially towards the Judi.
ciary--fcsprct tor which has ever been car
dlnal doctrine in the Wing creed--wr cannot
but consider il a paramount duty Of the
Wings Of Massachusetts 10 throw Ueir votes
IN the way most likely to defeat the election
Of the candidates Of the Republican party.
