MAILED NEWSPAPERS.--By a
recent decision ofthe postOlice De
partment the law regarding send.
ing newspapers hy mail has been
more Clearly defined than it has
heretofore stood. No name or
memorandum can I've made on a
newspaper inside of the wrHpper
unleSS it subjects ihe'Same TO Get
ter postage. and the yiUiator OF
the law to a fine. Noy printed
card, lland-bill or notwithstanding.
no written notice, letters OF slip
of any kind whatsoever must 1be
on which the address IS written;
1t is barely permissible to mark an
article with pen-or pencil. IQre
than this subjects the paper to let
ter postage. 10 DO any Of
these things is to violate the law.
Printed slips pasted on the out
side or folded i'll papers or peri
ideals, soliciting notices, are also
violations of the law. Senders oi
transient papers can send bundles
of printed matter by weight, OF
transient postal charges, butnnSt
not send any written matter in
Suchbundles. Publishers espec ally
will do well to observe carefully
these facts. 1t will save them
both trouble and expence in these
days of investigation and reform

Boys, when they are boys, are queer
enough. How many ridiculous notions
they have, and what singular desires,
which in after life change and shape
themselves into characteristics. Who
remembers when he would have sold his
birth-right for rocking horse, and his
new suit of clothes for monkey? Who
forgets the sweet faced girl, older than
himself, against whose golden hair he
leaned and wept his griefs away? Who
recollects when the thought of being a
circus rider appeared greater than to be
President; and how jealously he watched
the little fellows that wore spangled
jackets and turned somersaults, and
prayed to become like them? If mem-
ory preserves not these caprices, the boy
is lost in the man. Happy visions! they
come but once, and go quickly, leaving
US ever to sigh for a return of what can
never be again.

DR.. VAN DEN BERGH'S
Sovereign Worm syrup

THIS TRULY WONDERFUL. MEDICINE
Il Is warranted TO expel an worms from tbe
Worms.
The proprietor has taken much mains IN tes,
the comparative merits of the principal Worm
Medicines OF the day, which, numerous the
Eniozoa themselves have overspread the
clio; and, while we frankly acknowledge that
many OF them are often successful, and do great
good, were we not assured that this combines
advantages possessed by no other worm medf-
cine, It's Introduction at this late day would not
have been attempted.
The pleasant taste and exceedingly small
qnantity OF this medicine required to test the
existence of worms, or To remove every one
rom the system-its operating i'm a few hours,
unalded by any other purge, together with its
certainty Of effect, constitute il one of the most
brilliant discoveries OF the age.
Had We space here, scores of certificates
might be adduced TO show its progressive and
rapidly Increasing reputation for the last few
years. but to promulgate its fame and estab-
lish its character, we only ask for trial.
Its speedy operation In all sudden attacks, as
convulsions, collie, fits or spasms, gives IL an
nnrlvaled superiority Sent by express on re-
SYMPTOMS OF WORMS

tenance, dull expression OF the eyes, drowsi-

snort and dry cough, appetite sometimes vora-
cious, at other times feeble, bowels sometimes
costive, at other times loose, great fnetfulness
and irritability OF temper, pains in the stomach
and bowels, collie, fits, commissions and palsy.
Its value ip removing masses OF crudities
from the stomach and bowels OF children, even
where no worms exist, cannot be too highly es-
timated.

States seeded from the Union, as Opposed

are loaded with enormous debts, and foreign

THE Republicans are also responsible for tue

THE HORSE PLAoUE.-The streets looked
like they do on q Sunday yesterday, aiid
there was n pretty general suspension OF
horse travel in the city. Uouskeepers are
complaining of difficulty in getting their
marketing, owing to the spread of the dis
ease in the country, and the city physicians
are also greatly Inconvenience by the sick
ness of their horses. 1t is stated that tic
disease has attacked some of the mules IN
Richmond, but rs yet 10 fatal cases are re-
ported.
a lady who takes great pride In her horses
sends the following to our reporter
"Our horse has so far continued in excel
lent health. and as his usual fare is different
from other horses, for their benefit would
mention the mode of treatment. We are very
careful not to give him heating food, and re-
Gently have given him feed Of mixed grain
meal. He eats our scraps Of bread and fruit
parIn2s, also pot-iquor (water from middllng
or ham boiled with cibbagel, OF which he IS
exceedingly fond. He Is also fond OF milk,
either sour or sweet, and selections of kltcl'
en- food or slops. The pods Of Lima beans
will kill horse, hence care should be taken.
Occasionally he likes sugar.
off he has been out in the rain, and we
think has run risk of taking cold, we give
him at night pint of molasses mixed with
al equal quantity Of warm water"

ST. PETERS CHURCH, New KEST.-This old
church has been substantially and beauti-
fully repaired, and will be re6pened for SER
vices Oh Sunday and Monday next. 1t be-
longs to that class Of old churches which
was built by The fathers Of colonial times
once so numerous In Eastern Virginia, but
now seldom to be found. 1t has come down
with the memories Of two centuries cluster.
ing around it. But besides this, the fact that
the father of his country was married at its
alt II gives it special interest to Virginians
and to the whole country.
The pastor and building committee de-
serve great credit for having saved this inter-
esting relic from the sad fate of its contem-
poriries. They have not done all they
wished to do and that ought to be done,
owing to the giving out of their funds, but
as far as they have gone the work is substan-
tial and in beautiful taste. The original de-
signs. which had been shamefully changed,
have been restored. The high archcd cell
ing has been replaced, the walls repastercd,
finished with hard coat, and pencilled to
represent stone. a new gallery has been put
up In the end Of the church, and other
modern improvements not inharmonious
with its original design have been intro
duccd. 1t is now one of the most beautiful,
comfortable, and effective of the country
churches,
