Lost BY NOT TAKING. A. CoUNry
PAPER Generally speaking but little
importance is attached to the taking OF
a country newspaper. This neglect and
indifference had its practical reward the
other day. %
Some time ago gentleman in this
town was appointed an auditorto Atri.
butte the funds in the hands of an, admin.
istrhtor amongst the creditors. No.
tice of the auditor was published in two
of the county papers.
It so happened that few creditors
residing in a certain portion OF the coun.
ty who had collectively claims to the
amount Of seven or eight hundred dol.
lars, from the neglect oftaking county
paper never heard Of the audit until
after the report Of the auditor had been
confirmed by the court. They then
came into town to enquire about tho
likelihood of securing their claims call.
ed upon on attorney who examined into
tho matter, and informed them that thew
had forever lost their money. and we
prceume charged them five dollars for
the information. All this resulted from
being too pcnurious or too careless to
subscribe for county paper.
These gentlemen have learned les.
son that will last them tho balance Of
their lives, and as warning to others
who from tho samo motives fail to take,
their county papos.
Bhere is scarcely aman in tho com.
munity who will not bo caught up some
day on legal notice, but that does not
take paper, unless he clandestinely
reads his neighbor's, and every gentle

THAT GAvEL--In the full report of
the proceedings Of tho Mulatto Conven.

Mr.. Charles Gibbons, Chairman of the
Re option Committee, came forward,
with small gavel in his hand, and said !:

were declared ended.
Tho statament about the identity of
the gavel is a sheer fabrication The
Philistines did not possess themselves of
this souvenir. The gavel used by that
Convention, us we'll as the Presidents
chair and table, arc now in this city.
At the adjournment of the assemblage
those relics were presenLediby the Con.
vention to the ST. Andrews, Society,
who had tendered the free use of their
building, and arc now in the possession
Of the Secretary. The gavel, which has
an ivory, head and ebony handle, we
saw yesterday. 1t has the word 'tseces.

possession Of the Secretary during his

TIE MANNERS OF NAPOLEON AND

very kind, and has smile that would
DC really sweet and charming in any
woman, and that, naturally, loses none
of its charm by showing itself il the
face of an Empress to world still
weakly partial to "majesty." The
charm of tho Emperor's smile is in it's
way. Just as effective; is power being
ofton acknowledged even by those who

Of M. Provost Paradol, one Of his bit
terest political oppnents, who, having

TUE ARREST OF GEN. MAnoNE,-
The disgraceful measures instituted
against Gen. Malone; WHO at present
fills the position Of President of the Nor.
folk and Petersburg Railroad, and which
finally led to his arrest and Incarceration
in a Jail in New York on the 3lst OF
August last have aroused the Just in.
dignation ofhis friends, and all who have
followed him through his brilliant ca
reer.
1t appears that for an Infringement of
a contract between the corporation wkich
Gen. Malone represents and the New
Bay Line Steamboat Company, by the
latter, that suit was instituted against
them, and in the course OF the proceed
ings the steamer George Leary was at.
tached,. but was afterwards released on
security.
In revenge for this, tile Learys de.
posed that one Malone or Malone had
unlawfully seized their steamer, and. by
virtue of this deposition, brought about
Gen. Mahone's arrest The General
was in his hotel in the presence of his
family and several ladies, and was car
ried to prison at an hour Of the night
when efforts to procure his release on
bail were unavailing. He was, however,
released the next day, $25, 900 in funds
having been laid down by the prproic-
tors of tho Old Bay Line as security
