you, very quietly and contilenially of course, if you owe us anything? Our ex- penses are heavy and are paid regularly in cash every week. These expenses do not ease up on us occasionally week, but eoery eoeeG we must ''toe the mark" and we have not yet discovered anything that would answer the purpose but cash. Wont you please look at the date on the label with | your Dame on this paper, and if the time is expired to which you have paid, don't think the small amount due will make no difference with us, because it will. We need it to make out our bill of expenses for next week. How about you folks who have advertised with us, and having re- ceived bill have not paid it? We want the amount due on e0ery one of item |! We are determined to talk pleasantly about these matters, and we want this kind of talk to fully answer the purpose. Still another class of small debts we will here mention, viz: for job work. This work is regarded us cash, requiring payment on re- ceipt of work. As we said above we wish to say pleasantly, but firmly: We must be paid by those who owe us, because qce must haOe money. It is our purpose to send a bill to everybody who owes us for adver Using or job work, let the account be of long or short standing; and as every sub scriber has his account on every paper he gets, we expect all who there find them selves in arrears will consider themselves dunned. Please give this matter at tention mo'o, and help us pay our bills.
 4 HaU1ated House.-The house known as the Dr. Ticknor place, and which was bar gained for by Mir. Fenn of this village, is said to be haunted, being the scene of va rious strange and unaccounted for appari- tions. Mir. Fe1n moved his family and
 household goods there last Wednesday, and
 after putting up two or three beds. and q stove that they might remain comfortable
 over night, all retired at about nine o'clock.
 At something like eleven o'clock, the girls,
 (his young daughter and young lady who
 was with her) heard the door leading to the
 room occupied by the son, Byron, rattle
 about, and they thought he was trying to
 lock his door or something of the sort.
 Mrs. Fenn distinctly heard doors in other
 rooms open and shut, and a pretty general
 disturbance in various parts; and at about
 midnight the dog, which slept in the hall,
 became absolutely frantic with rage, dash
 ing about from one place to another, yet
 generally appeared frightened, and inclined
 to act on the defensive rather than other
 wise. Nothing was seen except by the lad,
 Byron, who said he awoke Tn the night and
 saw woman standing in the door to his
 room, dressed in white, and thought it was
 his mother in her night clothes. In the
 morning he ascertained she had not been to his room during the night. These facts,
 when each recited to the other in the morn.
 ing, what they had seen and heard during
 the night; the slamming of doors; lifting of latches sounds of somebody walking about, Sc., &c., was too much for theil
 comfort, and as only few of their goods were unpackeG, they hitched up their team
 and moved back to their old homestead ir this village, having occupied their new home one night only. All this, of course, sounds very singular, and furnishes material for (
 first-class spook story ;-but hold on here is another story of the same house, whicl to be sure is interesting just now. At the
 time this house was occupied by Mir Deaushom, a relative visited him, and a ,. night was shown into the room (which now seems to be the terror of everybody a!
 that room contained the spare bed. In tho , morning he said ''a woman had been walk ing around in his room all night, and ht wouldn't sleep there again for the price o the house." Thus it is this house is un doubtedly the abode of spooks; but wait here is another! Although the house was vacated, man who had too heavy loat of Jersey Lightning, laid down by the sidt
 of it week or two since, and after he hat slept off the greater part of his alcoholic stupidity, he awoke at something like three o'clock in the morning, and looking to the window above, saw a woman dressed ir white standing there and looking out d
 him. Well, now; how about this matter , anyway? Who will go there and stay some night and watch for this lady hobgoblin The question is: Who dare go?
