THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS.

lfsubscribers order the discontinuance of
their newspapers, the publisher may continne
to send them until all arrearages are paid.
Ifsubscribers neglect or refuse to take their
newspapers from the Office 10 which they are
directed, they are held responsible until they
nave settled the bills and ordered them discon-
timed.
If subscribers move to other places without
info orming the publisher and the newspapers are
sent to the former direction, they are held re-
spOnsibie.
The courts have decided that refusing to
take newspapers from the Office, or removing,
and leaving them uncalled for, is prima fscia
evidence ofintentional fraud.

ANOTHER NJ ILLERITE FIZzLE.-A New York
correspondents, writing September 24th,
says:
Last Sunday was the day set apart by a
portion of the Millerites in this vicinity for
the grand rising of saints, aud accordingly
the disciples of this particular class were
gathered together oil day at their hall in the
Bowery, patiently awaiting the sound Of
the last trump. The weather was gloomy
enough throughout the day to justify any
ones desire to rise into better world, but
these sanguine people were doomed TO dis
appointment. After sitting for some ten
consecutive hours awaiting the moment.
and in efforts, 10y prayers aud supplications
to hasten it, up TO the hour even when the
gloomy shades of evening had closed upon
them. they were reluctantly forced to own
that they had made a slight mistake in the
time, aud TO pOspOne their several ascen.
siOns until some future day not yet an
nOunced.
AT one moment, it is said, just before
sundOwn, when, the couds lifting in the
west, gleSm of sunshine burst upon the
neither world, the disciples believed the hour
bad really come, and starting mp, and ad
justinx their ascension robes, the whole as
sembly, brethren aud sisters, with locked
hands, stood calmly awaiting the last sum
mons. Some of the sisters, finally getting
impatient at the delay, made unsuccessful
attempts to crawl, spider fashion, up the
smooth walls of the room. A spectator who
was present at this ridiculous farce, says he
was very much amused at the efforts of
nearly all Of the brethren TO lock hands
with almost any other of the sisters than
their. own wives!

since party Of seven men were employed
IN grnbbing up several decayed trees on

they discovered bar of metal some feet
below the surface and completely embedded
in the roots of an old oak. The bar was
taken to the Running Horse Tavern, when
IL was soon discovered to be solid silver, of
about 1881 in value, aud bearing date 1882
The Lord of the Manor declining to claim
the property, the finders took it to bull
lion dealer in London, who offered to pur.
chase the bar. provided that the consent Of
Of the Lords of the Treasury was first ob.
tanned. A statement of the case was then
forwarded to them, from whom an answer
was received TO the effect that no claim
would be made on the part of the Crown.
The property has accordingly been sold,
and the amount shared among the finders
OF the treasure.-[London Times.
