THE PROPOSITION,

That excellent paper, the Richmond
FEia proposes the following. We
like it.-ED. NEwS:
The original debt Of 81 without in
terest, is about thirty millions. The
market value of that debt does not ex-
coed, if it reaches, fifteen millions.
Three per cent. on the thirty millions,
the nominal value, is equal to six per
cent. on the fifteen millions, the mar
ket value. Fair and liberal-minded
creditors have no right TO ask of Nir-
ginia, despoiled and impoverished,
more than six per cent. on the MAJ ket
value of their debt. That is as much
as the harrasscd and plundcrcd peo-

The letter. writer encloses an account
against the writer for postage on the
Bristol Newspapers and for Box rent,
endorsed as follows: IF not paid
per this notice your mail will be step
PED as per postal regulations. Jan.
[, '72. +. \. WARREN, d. p. NJ"
The account has been running for
some time and would doubtless have
been paid long ago if the writer Of
the letter had deemed it a just one.
Having never engaged to pay box
rent, and being of the common opin-
ion that paper delived in the coun.
ty where published, without reference
to the Gomicil Of the subscriber, is
not liable to pay postage. We have
called upon Mr.. Warren, who has
placed in our hands Gland Book
for Postmasters, by the editors OF
the Postoffice Gazette" From peru
sal Of it we find that Virginia sub
scribers to either of the Bristol pa
pers are liable to postage, as both
papers are published on the Tenn.
side. We quote the following pro-
visions on pages p and 25:
30 The law authorizing subscribers to
weekly newspapers to receive the same free
Of postage, requires that said paper shall be
printed and published in the same county.
4 weekly newspaper printed in one county
and published in another does not have this
right.
80 Bona FTDs subscribers to weekly
newspapers printed and published in the
county in which they reside may receive the
same free of postage at an Office not In the
county, provided it is the place at which they
regularly receive their mail matter.
- The law requires that weekly news
papers must be both printed and published
in the county where the subscriber resides
in order that he may receive it through the
mails free of postage.
A Postmaster has no right to as
sign, of his own volition, box to
any one and require the payment of
rent for it. Mr.. Warren tells us that
when he took charge Of the Office he
found this box already assigned to
the party and surprising it had been
authorized by him, continued to
place his mail in it and charge up
the rent accordingly.
A 2. NJ. cannot hold mail for back
postage, but he can hold it until fu-
ture postage. if any be liable, is paid.
All postage is due ia Advance. and
any accommodation as TO its pay
merit is an individual act on the part
of the p. NJ. and not an official one.
The P. NJ. at Bristol has no right to
charge postage on the Abingdon
VHgiaiu where the subscriber re-

Dear Sir

Dear Sir:
As your paper and the
Courier, as well as'the Abingdon Virginian,
are detained in the Post Office for postage,
would Ike to know through your next issue,
If the Postal Law has been annulled, or so
amended rs TO require postage, Or are local
papers sent TO the nearest Office, of any Sub
scriber! The enclosed notice, as with seve-
raj others received from the Bristol Office,
have not paid attention to, for the reason
that have been subscriber to the Abing-
don Yirginian for thirty years, and for the
last IG or II, or since an office was Cstab-
lished at Bristol, never Lave been asked to
pay postage, even Though the Office was kept
across the line in Tennessee, until the pres
cut incumbent. Has postmaster the right
to assign a box and charge rent for the same
to any person TO whom letters and papers
max be sent to his office, without the knowl-
edge or consent of the person? lneyer rent
ed box in the Bristol office in my lite.
Postage on all other papers which former
" took was always paid. If the law on
this subject was published in your paper it
would give information, not only to myself
but others placed in the same position.
Yours most Respectfully,

a NEW NoIsE FOR THE BoYs.-Those who did
not know the infinite variety of boyhoodsresour-
ces, fOndly imagined that the furthest depths OF
acoustic depravity had been reached when the
boys drove q good share of the human race dis
tTacted with those abOminable "devil's roos-
fers." But the boys themselves were never
quite satisfied with that achievement, and have
met the necessity in new abominatlon that
they call the "bassoon." We think il will
satisfy the most exactiDg of them. The lnstru-
ment Is hollow reed of greater or less length
and diameter, according to taste and oppor-
tunity. couple of inches from one end hole
is made in the side of the reed, like the mouth
hole of q flute. ] he end nearest this hole Ia
covered with thin paper or very thin India
rubber, and the other end is left open. The
performer applies his mouth to the hole in the
side, and sings into the instrument. The
voice strikes the rubber covering aud is pro-
jected out of the free end The result IL all that
could be desired. broken hand srgan and a
whole battery of 4" combs" would not equal ii in
hOrribleness. We have nothing against the
boys, but really the dog law seems of minor
significance while the bassoons are arouud.-

a Cow with aydrophobfa frees Two


MIR Parsons, who resides Few miles
from the CITY informs US that the other day he
went with his hired man, German, into a
large timOer lot 10 drive up some cattle. Among
tIem was A fine COW, whose actions indicated
that something was the matter, and he called
him 10 look at her eyes, that she was mad, and
that be thought she was "going for" them
The words were hardly out of his mouth when
the COW made a charge at Jack with most ter
rife bswl, and he made for a shell bark going
up il with admirable facility for few feet ont
of reach of the vicious brute. The cow then
turned on the German, and he "cooned il" up
small saplng, and was soon among the branches
and out OF danger. Jacks tree was a rough one,
and hard TO climb, being from Twenty-Five to
thirty 1eet 10 the limbs, so he tried to slip down
and md better tree, but the COW was on the
war path, and "made for him" every time he
came TO the ground, and once catching him on
Ine leg and bruising il quite severely
findiLg that his strength would fail, ne deter:
mined 20 go mp TO the limbs, where ne could
take rest. This he accomplished with con-
siderable damage to his clothes, as well as
abrading the skin his arms, which to-day
still showed the marks of his extraordinary
climb. Once safely among the branches, the
two patiently awaited for the COW TO go away,
tage and watched the two freed gentlemen like
a hawk. Hours passed. and night was coming
on and Jack began to feel uneasy, so he com,
menced q series OF hallOes for help. A neiyhbor
passing along the road answered the call and
was made acquainted with the situation, and
succeeded in directing the attention of the COW
10 himself until such time as Parsons and his
the enclosure, closely pursued by the Infatuated
cow. IL seems to have been plain case of n.y.
