The Macopin, III, Inquirer says that
a Greene scoEnty young lady, who is
worth 0,OO0, recently refused to mar
ry clergyman because she thought she

One of the latest acts Of the "salary
stealing Congress was to pass a law,
which Grant approved March 3, 1873,
containing the following clause:
provided, that all laws and parts Of
laws permitting the transportation by
mail Of any free matter whatever be
and the same are hereby repealed from
and after June 80, 1873"
This abOlishes the frauking privilege
held by Congress and 50 many Govern
mcnt officers.
This also abolishes section 35 Of the
act of March 3, 1868; Shut the publish
ers of weekly newspapers may send TO
each actual subscriber within the cOun-
~ where their papers are printed and
published one copy thereof free of post
age" and requiring that after June 30
all papers must pay postage. This also
abolishes section 45 of the same act,
which is as follows;
"All publishers of periodicals, maya
zines and newspapers which shall not
exceed sixteen ounces in weight shall
he allowed TO interchange their publica-
tons .eciprocally free of postage: pro-
vided, that such interchange shall be
confined TO a single copy Of such pub
lication."
The laws remain unchanged which
permit prepayment OF postage OH news
papers &c the office Of mailing or deliv-
cry, az the option OF the subscriber, and
prepayment by newsdealers upon their
packages received"
This includes exchanges between
country newspapers, and imposes post
age on papers circulated in couLties
where they are Published. ID other
words, this new law requires postage to
be paid on all newspapers mailed to
subscribers and exchanges everywhere.

End of a western Desperado.

From the lingo Independent, October 49,
A man named George Watson came
TO violent death in Lone Pine on Sat
urday night last, under circumstances
substantially as follows: Watson and a
man named Lindsey Lewis, both
well-known bad characters, had just re-
turned to Lone Pine after several
months absence-made necessary after
former shooting affair-and an
nounced their determination of running
the town for a while themselves. Con-
stable Henry Stevens arrested them
once during the day at the point of the
pistol, compelling them to give up their
arms, but he gave these back and re-
leased them after receiving y solemn
pledge that they would behave them
selves About ten o'clock at night
an altercation took place between them
and Stevens in Peterson's saloon,
where there was a large number
of persons, each and all of whom
came in for share of the violent abuse
at the hands of the pair. Watson, while
daring Stevens to come out in the street
to fight, drew his revolver, cooked and
and presented it at the crowd, and swore
he could shoot any - in the house"
and would do it if any man made a
move. At the instant of this insane
proposition the report of a pistol was
heard and Watson dropped dead, his re-
volver falling to the floor by his side.
Coroner Lank held an inquest on the fol-
lowing day, the jury rendering verdict
to the effect that deceased came to his
death by q gunshot wound, inflicted by
some person to them unknown, the ball
entering the left temple.

young lady, about sixteen or seventeen
years of age, eloped With q young man
of the Pinte persuasion who had been

The girl and her dusky lover got con
siderably the start of her father, and, it
would seem, did some tall travelling

Walker; but the father did not let the
grass grow under bis feet or bis horse S

There was recently on exhibition, at
Plymouth, Mass, piece of two-inch
water pipe seven feet in length. taken
from the section on the dam at the
Thread Companys Works, which was so
completely filed, its entire length with
the fine hbroas roots of the willows that
are growing near by, thst not one drop
of water could pass through j. a de-
preston in the pipe had at some time
cngsed slight breskage, and into this
a portioa Of the root had insinua.ed
itself and groWz, putil about a month
since the passage OK water vas stopped +,
and a search for the cause revealed this
result. A portion Of the filling was
taken out, and resembled closely con-
tinaeps "wad" Of oakum. For fve of
x feet haage roots are so tightly wedged
in thSt no tores yet applied has been
sufficient tsc start them
