LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

Many persons are under wrong impress
sions in regard to the law concerning
newspapers. For their special benefit we
publish the following:
!. Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary, are considered as
wishing to continue their subscriptions.
2. 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.
1. The Courts have decided that refusing
to take newspapers from the office, or
removing and leaving them uncaIled for,
72rinaa tdcie evidence OF intentional fraud.

repeatedly decided that Postmaster who
neglects to perform his duty Of giving

THE CAMELS.

A member of 1t. Beale's expedition to
survey the Pacific Wagon Road, speaks rs
follows about the Canels used by the Gov
eminent for frontier service:
"A word about the camels, which pro-
nounce, without fear of contradiction, the
most useful animal ia the world. They are
capable of being packed with weight of
200 pounds, and will travel with it from
morning till night without giving evidence
of any fatigue. They do not require to be
fed at all, as they prowso uiong the road
while travelling, stretching out their long
necks and cropping the grass or bushes
without any regard to their nature or quail
ty. They will 60 without water from FIVE
to ten days, which pecsliarity fits them for
long journeys over an unknown country,
where, although there may be plenty of
water, no one knows where to find it. They
are a ruminating animal, lying down to
chew there food, and do not require to be
herded as mules or horses. They are not
capable of being stampeded by the Indians.
and to crown all they are perfectly ducile
and ractable-kneeling down to receive
their loads with immovable patience, and
rising when desired. Each has headstall
and halter; as they go in single file when
travelling, their appearance on the road is
very striking. The government cannot do
better than to purchase an additional num-
Der for our outposts, where they would
rapidly increase, as the climate is perfectly
favorable to them.
1t is asserted in natural history that they
cannot swim, and we watched the expert
ment with no little interest. First only
one of the males was led down to the river;
a rope was then fastened to his head, and
thrown to a man in tho boat, in order to
keep his nose above water, in the event Of
his really being unable to swim; but the
precaution was needless, At first the ami
NAL refused to enter the water, but once in,
he breasted it manfully, and though carried
some distance down the stream by the rapid
current, he reached the opposite shore in
safety, amidst the plaudits of tho entire
multitude, both of Indians and white men,
and to our unspeakable qualification; for
experience had taught US they were inval-
liable. The rest were gotten ever without
any difficulty.
We were not so fortunate with our mules;
worn out by incessant labor, and weakened
by want of food, some of them were unable
to resist the rapid current and were swept
down and drowned. Then commenced
sickening scene. Scarcely had the breath
left their bodies when they were dragged
out of the water by the Indians and torn
limb from limb, to crafty their savage ap
petites; throwing huge pieces of the reek-
ing flesh on the fires which they had hastily
kindled, they suffered them to burn for
few moments and then no longer able to re-
frain from their horrid feast, tore it with
their teeth like hungry dogs, while their
faces and hands were besmcared with gore.
1t was a sickening sight.

TREATMENT OF SCARLET rEvEF

To the Editor of the Springfield Rspubli-
can: Seeing nm account of frequent deaths
from scarlet fever leads me to think it may
be duty to give to the public the result of
my 35 years experience in said disease.
l have attended every variety, from the
simplest to the most inveterate cases ter
minating in death within twenty four hours
from the attack. For the last twelve years
my treatment has been as fellows: Vapor
bath at the commencement, with warm
dilanAo~t a-;~Ls --1 .-.sIivfHus avti"s
the surface. (Ofthese every physician has
his favorites. and have mine.) This brings
out the rash Of bright scarlet color, which
is right, as tho condition Of the blood Is
shown by the color Of the rash, which in
the worst cases is very dark and sparse.
When the rash is fully developed. keep it
so by moderately stimulating course, and
give frequent gargles of marsh rosemary
for the canker.
In the high inflammation of the skin. whom
the burning, restless patient writhes in
agony. l wrap him in a warm wet sheet,
and pack him down. If sleep ensuss, and
the patient is warm and quiet, let him re-
main two hours. This removes the inhama-
ton of the skin, and renders tho cuticie
permeable for the escape of that morbid
matter, which, like a universal blister, in
cenvalescence, desquamates the whole sur
face. I use no antimonials, and allow no
physic till the subsidcnce of the rash. and
the result has been most happy, having
succeeded in curing every patient who has
been under my control from the commence
ment of the disease and in no case Las
there been any swelling of the throat, or
disease of the sinuses, or sPOngy bones, or
drepscal affections as result of the disease.

A DEVOTED WIFE.

A correspondent of the Boston Post re-
lates the following in referring to the
recent accidental death of Col. Wynkoop
Colonel Wynkoop, of Pennsylvania, led
into the field in Mexico regiment second
in point of discipline to no regiment oi
volunteers, except perhaps, Breckinridge's
Kentuckians. He was distinguished in
many engagements; he captured General
Valencia and staff and at the close of the
war he returned home with laurels. He
familiar. With his wife who is an invalid.
he was visiting the interior of Pennsylvania
for recreation and change of scene. The
country is wild there and sparsely settled.
One morning he went out with his servant
to shoot game for his wife. In handing
him the gun the servant by accident dis
charged it +; the contents took effect in his
leg, severed the artery, and he lived but a
few minutes. This has been told before.
An absurd superstition prevails among
the ignorant inhabitants of the region,
against t. uching dead body before an in
quest has sat upon it. The servant had
been sent at once for aid to some distance,
and in vain did Mr.. Wynkoop endeavor to
induce by applications, by promises, by
offers Of money, the stultifed neighbers to
shelter and care for her husbands body.
1t was night. He still lay whore he fell;
and there. in that bowling wilderness, with
the calmmy dampness of midnight gather
ing on her garmets, did that delicate we
man, as frail as the wild flowers around her
that folded their petals together in that
weird solitude, sit alone on the chill turf,
supporting on her knee the head of her
husband; and there remained, keeping her
lonely vigil until the breaking of the grey
dawn, alone with her dead and with her
bleeding heart.
If the accident be o sad one, it becomes
q season set apart to lessons the pledges of
affection.

REMARKABLE COURAGE OF A YOUNG
LADY.-The Atlas and Argus relates the
manner in which young lady rrnvontod
the suicide of her father, Mr.. VIM. Haugh-
lick. Of Seoharie county, N. Y, who at
tempted to hang himself a few days since.
From his singular manner. and from tho few
words that he uttered, his wife became ap-
prehensive that he intended to destroy
himself, and requested their daughter a
girl of II years, to watch over her father S
movements. He started for barn, about
half mile from his residence, the girl fol-
lowing him at distance, to prevent his OBJ
serving her. He entered the barn-she
came up and entered also, when the horri-
flying spectacle of her father suspended by
the neck, and black in the face, mot her gaze
She Immediately ran to him and tried to
raise him up, but finding him too heavy,
she thrust her hand into his pocket, drew
therefrom his knife and cut him down. She
then laid him on the barn floor, took his
cap from his head and ran to spring, filled
it with water, returned, and commenced
bathing him with it. After while he be-
gan to breathe. She then left him and
called for assistance. He was taken home
and is now in fair way of recovering.

THE VALUE OF TIME.-When the Ro-
man Emperor said, Il have lost day" he
uttered q sadder truth than if he had ex-
claimed, Il have lost kingdom" Napo-
lean said that the reason why he beat the
Austrians was, that they did not know the
value of five minutes. At the celebrated
battle of Rivol, the conflict seemed on the
point of being decided against him. He
saw the critical state Of affairs, and instant
ly took his resolution. He despatched
flag to the Austrian headquarters, with pro-
posals for an armistice. The unwary Aus
trians fell into the snare-for few minutes
the thunders Of battle were hushed. Napo-
Icon seized the precious moments, and
while amusing the enemy with mock nego-
tiations, re-arrapged his line of battle.
changed his front, and in few minutes
was ready to renounce the farce of discus
sion for the stern arbitrament of arms
The splendid victory of Rivoli was the re-
suit. The great moral victories and defeats
of the world often turn on FIVE minutes
Crises come, the not seizing of which is
ruin. Men may letter, but time flies on the
wings of the wind, and all the great inter
ests of life are spreading on with the sure
and silent tread Of destiny.

AARON BURR.

Mr. Parton's new work on Burr gives the
following sketch Of his daily habits in the
latter part of his life, as related to the au-
thor by gentleman who spent some time
in Burr's service:
''He rose at the dawn. A breakfast of
an egg and cup of coffee suficed for this
most abstemious of men; after which he
worked among his papers for some hours
before his clerk and assistants arrived
He was hard task master; he kept us all
on the jump. All day ho was despatching
and receiving messages, sending for books,
persons and papers; respecting every COM
mand to be obeyed with next to impossible
celerity, inspiring every one with his own
zeal,' said my informant. About ten in the
evening he would give over, invite his COM
panions to the sideboard, and take a single
glass of wine. Then his spirit would rise,
and he would sit for hours telling stories of
his life, and drawing brief and graphic
sketches of celebrated characters with
whom he had acted. Often he was full of
wit and gaiety at such time; the liveliest
fellow in the world 'as merry as boys
never illnatursd.' About midnight he
would lie down upon a hard couch in the
corner of the office. aad sleep like a child
until morning. In his personal habits he
was a thorough going Spartan; eating lit
tie, drinking little. sleeping little, working
hard. He was fond of calculating upon
how small a sum life could be supported,
and used to think she could live well
enough upon seventy cents a week"
CHURCH AND STATE.-The good people
of Z Putnam county, Tennessee, are contem-
plating a practical union of Church and
State, as announced in the following item in
the Cooksville Times
ave are pleased to learn that an arrange
ment is made to complete the new Metho-
dist church in this place. 50 far as to be
able to hold the ensuing session of the Cir
cult Court in it. This is very important for
the interest of our country"
The Nashville Banner says that friend
who practices somewhat in that region pre-
nounces this deep laid scheme to get the
lawyers of that circuit inside of church,
all other means having failed. He antici-
pates very indignant set of gentlemen
when the scheme is discovered.

NICELY DONE,-At a certain eating

could eat it up in ten minutes. Whatll

for it = Yes We'll, then, LII bet you

man Immediately set to. The choicest part
of the fat and savory monster were con-
sumed with a most enviable RELISH but up
ON the expiration of the ten minutes he
found himself stuffed up to the brim, and
the turkey not third demolished. Rising
very coolly, he acknowledged that he
couldn't go it, and quite as coolly forked
over ten cents for two whiskey toddies-
lost. Snob looked blank upon being sud
denly struck with the idea that he had been
done up in a decidedly cheap package,
paid down two and half dollars for the
turkey, and left his friend enjoying digestion

KEEP Your MOUTH SHUT"-Never
allow the action of respiration to be carried
on through the mouth. The nasal passages
are clearly the medium through which
respiration was by our Creator designed to
be carried on. "God breathed into mans
nostrils the breath of life," previous to his
becoming living creature. The difference
in the exhaustion Ct strength by long
walk with the mouth firmly closed, and
respiration carried on through the ostrils
instead of through the mouth, is incon-
ceivable to those who have never tried the
experiment. 1t is said that the habit OF
carrying On the work of inspiration and
expiration through the mouth, is the origin
of almost all the diseases of the throat and
lungs.
