A JUST DECISION The principles
of law which control merchants, ac>
counts, and those usually donomina-
ted running accounts, has been
claimed to apply to newspaper subs
scriptions. Justice has, however,
been slow in recording decisions OF
the question. A case recently deci-
ded in New York State comes to the
assistance of the editor and publish
er. The claim was for newspaper
subscription of thirteen years stand-
ing. The defendant set up the stat
ute Of limitations and claimed that
recovery could only>be had for six
years. Judge Parker, before whom
the case was tried, held that the con.
tract between the publisher and
subscriber was a continuous con-
tract, and that the defendant vas liz
able to the whole subscription. A
general acceptance ofthis legal truth
on the part of subscribers to news
papers might eventuate in more
prompt payment of their accounts.

The CHALLEN GE ACCEPTED.-It
will be reccollected that last fall, Mr..
Robert Stone, of Fulton, made trial
of the Glow Reaper. manufactured
by III. L. Smith & Co., Of this place,
and cut in one day, with single span
of horses, 80 acres and 81 rods Of
wheat. After the accomplishment of
the feat, Mr.. S. offered to wager any
sum from $4,000 to $4,000 that he
could cut forty acres in a day. A
few days since he received from man
in Denver that his challenge was
accepted on the $4,000 basis and the
money put up, with the provision
that in addition to the wager if Mr..
S. lost he should pay 5000 for every
acre below 40 which was not cut, and
should receive 5000 for every acre
over 40 which was cut. Mr.. Stone
has accepted the challenge, put up
the money, and sent q certificate of
deposite to the Denver man. This
will be remarkable trial, and the
result will be looked for with inter
est.-JdneSviHe Gazette

Washington, June "a
Thad. Stevens has prepared and
will, Tomorrow, in the House, as
privileged question, introduce new
articles of Impeachment against AM
drew Johnson, charging him with
usurpation in office and using his
high position to corrupt the voters
IN the Southern States. The articles
will also contain other charges against
the President. He will demaud tina
these articles be at once referred to
committee, with instructions to re-
port at very early day. He is con-
fident that when the facts that he
claims to have come into possession
of, are laid before the members of the
House, they will Immediately adopt
his articles.

Ey Rena, who startled the relg>
ious world by his opinion on the phil
osophy of theology, has turned his
attention to polotics, and has pro-
duced n work on the subject which is
attaining marked and deserved at
tention in the world As il is free
from the eccentricities of Carlyle, it
may, probably, excite a wiser inhu
ence. NJ. Renan holds that the con.
diton of modern society is far from
being satisfactory, and that its ten
denotes are in the highest degree
alarming. He thinks that the boast
ed French revolution was a mistake,
and that the nations arc driving
toward the terrible charges that at
tended the breaking up of the Old
Roman Empire. Governments and
nations should be based upon sci
ence, philosophy and law, and not
upon bayonets and physical force.
liz the petty game of ambition, con-
sequences and principles are equally
overlooked, until honest merit makes
boast of abandoning the Govern
mont to the intrigaes and schemers.

THE ANT TRAP.-As the season is
now passing for these pests, the ants,
housewives and others who are troub-
led with them may probably use the
following trap TO advantage
Procure a large sponge, wash It
well, and press it dry, which will
leave the cells quite open then
sprinkle over it some fine white su-
gar, and place it near where the ants
are troublesome. They will soon col
lect upon the sponge and take up their
abode in the cells 1t is only neces'
sary to dip the sponge in scalding
water, which will wash them out dead
by the tens of thousands. Put on
more sugar, and set the trap for
new haul. This process will soon
clear the house of every ant.
