"Wc hope, however. that every subscri-
Der, who has not settled with us, will read
what follows and take advantage OF the
suggestions We do not desire TO dun you,
and yet, for the life ofus, we do not see how
we can avoid it. You fail to pay and we
need our money badly. If there were only
one, or two, or a dozen, or even hundred
of you, we might very readily stand 1t, but
when you are told that out OF The 1000 bona
fde subscribers on our list, not one half OF
the number have paid up for the year lSI,
you begin to see thati it figures up an aggre-
gate that will run our establishment tour
or five months. But independent OF the
inconvenience we sustain, in not having
our money and in being obliged TO make
our creditors wait, it is only additional ex-
pense upon you. And here we desire 10
say that there is no man in Huntingdon
county so poor that he cannot take and pay
two dollars year for his county paper
Where is the man, we ask, who cannot save
one dollar, in six months, for n newspaper!
! And as TO the relative influence OF the
newspaper, it is next TO the Bible the
latter teaches the way to Heaven. while INC
| former teaches the way of tho world ana
no one can expect to make much headWay,
either here or hereafter without pretty
accurate knowledge of both. But this is a
DEPRESSION. The rich man Just as frequent.
| " fails to pay as the poor man. why !!
! because he considers two dollars q mere
trine, and, we suppose, thinks we regard it
| i'm the same light We might were it not
! for the frequent duns that arc thrust at us.
| But remember the ocean is made up OF
mere tinp grains of sand But outside OF
our needy circumstances we would like to
oct our subscription business to as near
cash basis rs possible. We can't have a
very good opinion of the subscriber who
allows his subscription to run for years
without making an effort to pay up, and
before any of our subscribers have time to
run up bills we want them to pay up and
keep pad up"

and adopt it as our own. What is the cx.
percnce of the Journal is the experience o
ncarly every country printer. In addition
to the money due us on subscription, there
is considerable due us for job work ant
advertising which we greatly need. VIZ
are sending out bills TO all who owe us, ant
hope they will be promptly responded to-
is our intention to make Improvement
on the paper, but unless we get what is dut
us we will be unable to do so. In order L
make furthers in the AMERI
CAN, we must have money, and we trus
that our friends throughout the county viii
leud us aid by making eXertions to circulate
the paper still more extensively among 'hell
ncighbors, and continue to send us lists
new subscribers. 1t is decidedly the cheap
est paper in the county, being only Sl.0i
per annum. The price is so low that every
family in the county can afford to take
copy. ED. AMERICAN.

The decision of the::Sprcmc Court has a,
last been carried into effect. The nundu

sitting in PittshurC, after lapse of more
than four weeks, and which our president

less than that many hours, was received
here yesterday morning, and at once placed
in the hands Of Sheriff llcikel, who placed
it in the care of his deputy, Mr.. Funk
with orders to execute the same Immediate

important business, started at once il
search of the heroic John Emminger, Tho
conscientious Democratic return judge o
Cumberland county. lie found him al
Carlisle, and at once acquainted kim viii
the nature OF his busincss-the execution
of the mupddmus entrusted to him. En-
mingcr promised, without hesitation, thai
he would sign the proper certificates Of Mr.
Wcakly's election, and before Mr.. Funl
left the papers had been duly executed, anC
Mr.. Weakly will take his scat without
trouble. Thus endeth the first chapter o
Treating the election as if it had not beer
