ADVANCE PAYMENTS. We notice sever

that hereafter their terms viii be advance
payments for subscriptions and cash for adj
vertisements at the time of insertion We
don't wonder at this. 1t has become anecessi-
ty. Every thing used in the printing line is
about as high in price as at any previous
time during the war and has to be paid for
az cash. Printers must have an extraordin-
airy good establishment ora big purse to carry
on business any length of time, paying their
current expenses in cash and waiting for
their own pay one, two three or more years.
That kind Of business don't pay. As a ne
cessity then advance and cash payments for
subscription and advertising viii soon have to
become general. Printers are entitled to
their pay as well as other people.

EI= On Sunday last the corner of Iron
and Main streets was made the scene of a
great deal of rowdyism, by crowd of noisy
boys, over couple of intoxicated individ-
uals, who had been too familiar with the
article known as ''tangle foot. What we
need in this place is police force. The
town has become too populous and wide
spread for one Constable to manage, however
vigilant he might be. What has become of
that incorporation spirit that was made man
ifest at our Quarter Sessions last May. Why
not agitate the question until success follows 4?
If ever a town needed incorporating this one
does at this present time.
