l. Subscribers who do not give express notice
to the contrary, are considered us wishing to con-
tinuc the subscription.
2. If subscribers wish their papers discontinue
ed, publishers may continue 10 send them until
oil charges are paid
8. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their
papers from the Office or place to which they are
sent; they are held responsible until they settle
their bills and give due notice to discontinue
them.
A. If subscribers move to other places without

SINGULAR DIsrINCTIoN-Two men were
lately sentenced to be hung at Washington.
at the same time and upon the same scaffold
Cornelius Truel, white, and Peter Gooden,
black. TruelI was hung according to sem
tence; but the negro's neck'was saved by the
timely intervention of President Lincoln, who
comnuted his sentence. When the fact be-
came know it created sensation and even
the friends Of the President censured him
for his marked partiality for the negro.

At the magic name of Little Mac.

ORIGIN OF Doors AND SHoEs.-Boots are
said to have been invented by the Carrans.
They were first made Of leather, afterwards
Of brass and iron, and were proof against
both cut or thrust. 1t was from this that
Homer called the Greeks brazen footed
Formerly, in France, great foot was much
esteemed, and the length of the shoe in the
fourteenth century was mark of distinction.
The shoes of prince were two feet and a
half long; those Of baron two feet; those
Of a knight eighteen inches one.

The Gardiner (Maine) Journal chronicles
the fact that one of its subscribers last week
paid with gold dollar. This rare event
got wind in the town and created a sensa
ton, and the editor, when he appears in the
street, is pointed out, to his great annoyance,
as 1.-The man what's got gold dollar" He
has obtained many attentions from bis fel-
low-citizens on account of it; but says that
his "od luck" clings to him in his fortunate
possession, for the very day he got it gold
fell eight per cent. in the New York money
market. Nevertheless, he remarked, that
''it is astonishing what an effect this small
piece of filthy lucre has had on us. We

for rise" He announces it as his inten-
ton to keep it for those who are troubled
with sore eyes to look upon.
