LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Many persons are under wrong impres-
sions in regard to the law concerning
newspapers. For their special benefit we
publish the following:
l. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered as
wishing tn continue their subscriptions.
,. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their newspapers from the post Office to
which they are directed, they are held
responsible until they have settled the bills
and ordered them discontinued.
3. If subscribers remove to other places
without informing the publishers, and the
newspapers are sent to the former direction,
they are held responsible.
/. The Courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers from the "tiice, or
removing anG leaving them uncalled for,
1lrin,d facie evidence of intentional fraud.
7. The United States Courts have also
repeatedly decided that Postmaster who
neglects to perform his duty of giving
reasonable notice, as required by the Post
Office Department of the neglect ola person
to take from the Office, ne Hspapers addressed
to him, renders the Postmaster liable to the
publisher for the subscription price.

A young man belonging to Indianapolis
wanted to marry pretty girl of that city,
but parental authority prevented it. They
had tried all kinds of expedients without
success. An elopement to Cincinnati prov
ed to be fruitless, for, cautioned by the pa
rents, the officers refused to issue license.
An effort to get license at Newport, KY,
also failed. In this extremity, they char
tered magistrate, set him on ferry boat,
and thus, midway between two States, that
is, in no State, they were plunged into the
married state.
GOLD MINING.-A very important dis
covery in gold miningis said to have recently
been made, the effect of which will tend
greatly to increase the product Of the gold
region in North Carolina and Virginia.
Under this process (which is said to be
simple and efficacious) gold is readily
extracted from the black sand which is
found so abundantly in these States, and is
similar to the black sand of California. The
yield from the pulverized ore of the mines
is said to be from $50 to $50 per ton.

Several important points to farmers
were brought to light at this trial, and
which it would be well for them to re-
member if they desire not to suffer loss
and which also demonstrates the meaning
of the law upon these points First,
It is lawful to "shucl," your corn, but if
strange negro should happen to seat
himself down at the pile, and it is proven
that he shucked corn for five minutes,
and he should leave and go home, and
in so doing should either kill himself or
be killed by another, your corn-shucking
will be proved in law ,miuujiM, and his
master recover the value Of his negro.
What risk every farmer runs az every
constructing he has.
Again, and little finer STILL IF the
same negro had brought you pass, Ger
tifying that his master was willing that
he should attend your -shucking,
and you know the hand writing and be-
lieye it to be genuine, and consequently
arc satisfied that all is right yet, should
it turn out, you being unacquaintod with
The negroes, that it has been transferred
by one negro to another, and an accident
should occur to the negro while upon
your farm or any whore but on the pre-
misses Of bis own master, the owner can
recover, the law declaring that it was
not the negro intended in the pass.

The following statements will be found
correct as to the soils long under cult
walton:
/. All lands on which clover or the
grasses arc grown, must either have lime
in them naturally, or that mineral must
be artiicially supplied 1t matters but
very little whether it be supplied in the
form Of stone, oyster, lime, or mari
>. All permanent Improvement of
lands must look to lime as its basis.
g. Lands which have been long in cul-
ture will be benefited by the application
Of phosphate of lime, and it is unimpor-
taut whether that deficiency be supplied
in the form of bone dust, guano, native
phosphate Of lime, compost of flesh, Or
chat Of oyster shell limc-or mari, if the
lands need lime alone
T. No lands can be preserved 10 high
state of fertility, unless clover or grasses
are cultivated in the course of rotation.
5. Mould is indispensable in every
soil, and healthy supply can be pre-
served through the cultivation Of clover
and the grasses, the turning in eff grain
crops, or by application Of compoSts rich
in elements Of mould
6. All highly concentrated animal
manurcs are increased in value, and their
benefits prolonged by admixtures, with
plaster, salt, oywith pulyerized charcoal
7 Deep ploughing greatly improves
the productive powers OF every variety
of soil that is not wet,
s. Subsoiling sound land, that is land
that is not wet, is eminently conducive
to increased production.
9. All wet lands should be drained
10. All grain crops should be harvest
ed before the grain is thoroughly ripe.
H. Glover, as we'll as grasses Intended
for hay. should be moved when in bloom.
II. Sandy lands can be most eiIectu-
ally improved by clay When such
lands require lining or marling, the lime
or mari is most benedcally applied when
made into a compost with clay. In
Stacking lime, salt brine is better than
water
10. The cbopping Of grain to be fec
to stock, operates as saving Of at leas
twenty-five per cent
a. The draining Of wet lands aud o
marshes adds 70 the value, by making

EB The Cumberland, Maryland, TELEGRAPH,
has some excellent remarks upon the recon
struction of parties, from which we make the
following extract, which accords in tone with
the spirit that now finds expression in every
american paper in the Union. 5s-, w
In the great work of regeneration, recon
struction and publication of the two political
parties, the one representing the North and the
other the South, middle ground must be taken
and the radicalism Of the two repudiated. In
other words, all the conservative elements Of
the country must be brought together and har-
monized into active cooperation upon plat
form of principles grounded in the immutable
laws of right giving to all sections equal and
exact justice, and doing violence to none. If
this course is pursued, then the great mission
of the American party will soon be accomplish
ed, and those great measures of public policy,
which it has inscribed upon its bannerfolds
will become the settled policy of the country,
and the dangers which have and still do threaten
the country will speedily pass away with the
parties which precipitated them upon us. e5
cit repudiatcs radicalism ofevery sort. 1t
knows neither North nor South. 1t is for the
union Of the States for the sake Of the Union
1t is patriotic, and. aims at nothing which it
does not consider right and just and being
actuated by these sentiments, it has managed
even in its weakness to stay the purposes of bad
men North and South. In 1860 all good men
will rally to its support while the bad will cling
together to embroil the country, if possible, in
sectional strife and bloodshed, as they have
cndeayored to do heretofore"

MURDER. BURGLARY, ROBBERY.

The Peoria, Illinois, Union Of the goth ult,
gives an account Of the murder Of an unknown
boy, last July, at La Cross, Wisconsin; Of the
breaking open and robbing, about the SEINE
time, of jewelry store in that place, from
which $4,000 worth ofjewelry was stolen, and
$500 in money, and the breaking open Of a
stable, killing horse, and setting the stable
on fire, to crafty q malignant revenge. For a
long time, no clue could be obtained TO the
perpetrators of the murder and the robbery (;
but all has now come to light There were, at
the time, living at La. Gross, four of that class
Of persons called constitutional citizens"
whose right to participate in the affairs Of our
Government, and even to make constitutions
for new States, while yet aliens, is so tenac-
iously insisted on by large portion, even Of
members Of Congress. These constitutional
citizens, or aliens, were Germans, and il turns
out that they murdered the boy for his money,
he having been imprudent enough to let one Of
them see that he had $500 about his persons
that they robbed the jewelry store, and that
one Of them broke open the barn, killed the
horse, and then set fire to the barn. For the
latter crime the guilty was tried, but was sworn
off by his accomplices. Soon after the trial,
three Of them left, one leaving his wife and
child behind, with whom the fourth lived I'M
