Notice to Mail Subscribers.

= Notice to Mail Subscribers.
Mail subscribers may remember the decision
OF the Postmaster General, made last winter,
iorblddlpg the printing Of the time to which
subscriptions were made. Since then we hare
been obliged to omit the date on printed ad-
dresses. But the objection Of the Department
has been overcome by an net of Congress re-.
Gently passed, and publishers are hereafter al
lowed to print, not only the name of the subscri.
Der on the wrapper or margin Of the paper, but
also the date when the subscription expires
Hereafter this will be the only notice we shull
give our mail subscribers, as to when their sub.
scr'pflons should be renewed. As all papers will
be discontinued upon the expiration of the time
to which they are raid, subscribers would do
well to keep IN eye On the date of tic little
printed slips containing their names.

oS THE uSDERsTASDISG.-Au esteemed and
excellent clergymen Of this city unconscously
| got off rery "gool thing" in bis pulpit on
Sunday evening last. In discourse in which
lie was discussing some ofthe theories Of mind
| he referred to one which should make mind and
body one, urging the absurdity which must grow
out Of the belief that if, for instance, man loses
IN arm, it lessons his amount of mind, adding,
And who can believe that if cannon bali
| should cut Oft both Of u mans legs. it would
make any difference with his 1ndersta1diug.''
An almost audible smile that ran round the
| speakers audience, seemed to suggest belief
that in the event named the human under-
| st1ndtnY" would suffer materially.
