-.s A Proclamation.
 TOR A TIME or PAYING THE PRINTER.

A kh.
 As was customary with our fathers, who when the year drew near it's close, were wont to meet with one another to adjust their indebtedness, that no man should say ..thou owest me- when the new year came in, so should we as just and Christian people, initiate their example and dis charge our obligations each with his neighbor, before the old year passes away.
 Now therefore, we, the Printer and Editor. in consideration of custom so wise and exemplary do hereby set apart the remainder of the month of December, in the year of our Lord, one thous- and eight hundred and sixty one, as g time for paying the Printer and we do exhort and com mand all persons who may be indebted to him for newspapers, job work and advertising, to assemble at his editorial sanctum, at some con- venient time in the said last week of the month of December, to cancel their indebtedness, to the end that justice be done, and the Printer be not embarrassed in his business.
 That he may be enabled to pay the paper ma- Aer, the type founder, and those who labor faith fully at the press and case.
 That he be not pursued by the she if, nor be visited with messages from the attorney.
 That he may not be obliged to wear Q coat ex- tensively ventilated with holes, or large patches on the rear of his pantaloons.
 That he may be enabled to have an extra shirt for change on washing dsys, and a cord of wood to thaw his thoughts in the sanctum and cook his victuals at home. ..
 That he be not distressed in the pocket to such an extent that he become desperate, and in im- itation of the servant mentioned in the scripture, seize delinquents "by the throat, saying pay me what thou owest.'
 That he may give the " devil his due," lest he become diseontented and break things in the office, to the great damage of the owner thereof.
 That he who subscribes for and readeth the paper, may not feel the oppression of indebted ness toward the Printer resting upon him.
 That he may retire to his pillow at evening without fear of seeing the half starved ghost of the man of the quill and scissors stalking into his room at midnight, or hear in the vail of the blast the cries of the Printers children pleading for bread.
 Thus justice and honesty may thus obtain in community, and g worthy example be set fer coming generations, to which all the people. with one accord will say Amen.
 Given at the Editorial Sanctum, this twenty third day of December, in the eighty sixth year of American Independence. THE PRINTER.
 God save the man ~ho payeth promptly ths printer.
 A livery stable keeper, named Spurr, would never let . horse go out without requesting the lads hot to drive fast. One day young man called for a horse to attend Q funeral. "Cer- tsinly," said Spur, but" he added forgetting 'ihe solemn purpose for which the young man wanted the horse, "don't drive fast" 'Why, jest look here old feller, said the somewhat ex- cited young man, "I want you to understand that shall keep up with the procession if it kills the horse!'
