NEWSPAPER DECISIONS.
/. Any person who takes paper re-
gularly from the post office-whether
directed to his name or not-is respon-
sible for the payment.

8. The courts have decided that re-
fusing t0take newspapers and periodi-
Gals from the post Office, or removing

fraud.
THAT FEsTIvAL.-None of our Alba
ny readers should forget the grand fes-
tival at the Court House next Monday
night. The. several committees are
making strenuous exertions to render
the affair one of the greatest possible
magnitude, and We doubt not their eff
forts will be crowned with success. The
object is a worthy one-for that Heav-
en- ordained virtue, Charity. Winter
with unusual severity is upon us, and
there are those in our city who are des-
titue not only of the comforts, but of
the necessaries of subsistence. Shall
we refuse to award them a small pit
tance out of each of our purses when
it would probably amount to a sum in
the aggregate sufficient to keep the
wolf from the door during the entire
winter? 'sHe that giveth to the poor,
lendeth to the Lord"

have been one of the most brilliant and
fasb;o1aI1 aI1Ia danafnr no rfiaS ayor hold
in Albany The fair women and gal
liant gentlemen of Albany were in at
tendance to the number of 10 or so
couples, and danced till away into the
':wee sma' hours to the strains of the
most bewitching music. The supper
was of the very best sort and most
abundant in quantity, and the manage
ment of the most unobjectionable kind.
In fact, the whole affair is universally
applauded by those who were so .ortu-
nate as to be in attendance.
ALBANY CoLLEGE.-The regular
classes in the Albany College will re-
sumo their studies on Tuesday, Jan. 2.
It is desirable that all who contem-
plate entering this School do so at that
time. The services of Hiss Salina
Newman have been secured to take
charge of the Primary Department.
This department will be thoroughly
graded and the most recent methods of
instruction introduced. A watchful
care will be extended over the children
at play as well as during study hours,
and, in short, it is intended to make it
"a pleasant home for the little ones
while away from their parents.

old mail route from Salem to Pleasant
HilI-via Scio, Lebanon and Browns

Marion Station. Lebanon is to have a

care. We commend him to the sick
public. Read his card.
