TILE LAW nF NEWSPAPERS.

Ifiubscrbcrs order the dscontinuance of
heir newspapers, the publisher may continnc
send them until all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscrbers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Office to which they are
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon-
tinued.
If subscribers move TO other places without
informing the publisher, and the newspapers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that refusing to
tkat newspapers from The Office, or removing,
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia
evidence OF otintenional fraud.

THE FOURTH.

Biddetord and Saco woke up early on the
morning Of the glorious Fourth, and greeted
each other across the river with hearty con-
gratulations. as the booming Of cannon, the
ringing OF bells. and firing Of guns hailed the
birth Of rs faira day and the rising Of sun as
bright as heart could wish. Indeed the day
seemed made for the occasion, and soon in
every direction the people from the adjoining
country towns came thronging in to see "the
Fourth Of July" The fantasies. as usual,
celebrated before breakfast, and everybody
turned out to see the march Of this ancient and
mysterious order. We think Portland will
swift" when the telegraph informs her that
the Great Eastern. direct from New York, ar
rived in Biddeford on the Fourth. Her move
ments, we noticed, seemed attended with her
usual characteristic delay. We understand she
had not the slightest difficulty In getting over
the bar. An ovcrturn, not laid down In the
programme, occurred on South Street, but as
the members Of this order generally exercise
great care in the selection Of well-trained and
docile equine specimens, no material damage
was done.
At 0 o'clock A. NJ. the Grand Lodge Of Maine
arrived at the Saso Depot. and were escorted
through the streets to the Biddeford House,
where at about ten o'clock the Bidjeford por-
ton Of the procession formed and proceeded TO
saco to meet the Saco division. The parade
was under the direction Of Col. Chas. Twambly,
