rosrAeE ON COUNTY PAPERS.

The new postage law which goes
into effect on the first day of July
next. requires the payment of post
age on all regular issued pnblica-
tions sent through the mail. Each
subscriber, by going to the Postmas-
ter at the office where he receives his
paper, on or before the first of July,
can, with fue cents prepay the post
age on it for the next three months;
or for ten cents, six months. We
would advise this prepayment for
not longer than six months by all
residents in the county, as doubtless
the law will be modified early in the
next session of Congress, SO far at
least as regards the circulation of
papers in the county where publish
ed Tire proviso attached to the
Postofice appropriation bill, which
abolishes the free circulation of
papers in the county where publish
ed, was evidently what is known in
legislative practice as o snake. " and
probably not understood by one out
of ten members who voted for it.
Ten cents will pay the postage to
january lst, 1874, when the new
Congress will have been in session a
month.

THAT cExr.

Sitting on the piazza of the Cata-
ract was q young foppish looking
gentleman, his garments very highly
scented with a mingled oder of musk
and cologne. A solemn-faced, odd
looking man, after passing the dandy
several times, with look of aversion
which drew general notice. suddenly
stopped and in confidential tone
said:
stranger, I know what1l take
that scent out of your cloths; you
What! what do you mean, sir?'
said the exquisite, "fired with in
dignation," starting from his chair.
'.Oh, get mad, now-swear. pitch
round. fght, just because a man
wants to do you a kindness!" coolly
replied the stranger. "But I tell
you I know what'll take out the
smell-phew. You must bury your
clothes bury 'em day or two.
Uncle John got foul of skunk, and
he"
At this instant there went up from
the crowd simultaneous roar OF
merriment, and the dandy very SEN
sibly "cleared the COOP and vanish
ed up stairs.

the rudder chains through that weary
day,I took upon myself solemn
vow, that. If ! succeeded in escaping,
would devote my rescued life 70 the
pursuit and punishment of the villain
who had brought about the destruc-
tion of my love and murdered her
father. Three years after the war
was ended, / met him In crowded
assembly of the rank and beauty OF
his native land, and put upon him
such an insult, before them all, that he
was forced to meet mo in deadly
strife.
He did not recognize me until we
were face to face upon the open field.
Then his heart failed him. He fell
before my uppracticed weapon ere q
Score of tbrusts had been exchanged.
Malicious and brutal 10 the last, he
went TO his account with ali his sins
upon his guilty head.
To the helpless Laura's fate | have
never obtained a satisfactory clue,
Though have been untiriDg in the
search. From the few of the frigate's
crew whom l encountered in my
quest. learned that she was kept q
close prisoner in the captains cabin
until the ship reached Jamaica. There
she ssas released, doubtless at the
price of keeping silence as to her
wrongs, and there she seems to have
disappeared from the living world.
God grant that her unmerited suffer
ings have won her place in His
Kingdom, and when / die may at
last meet her for whose sweet sake
my heart has ever been sealed to
love.

A NEW VERSION OF THE FLOOD.

William Cullen Bryant writes as
follows from Florida: Save in the
case of the very young, however, the
schools have made but little impress
ion upon the ignorance IN which the
colored race have been reared. Their
worship in the churches gives eyi-
dence of this. A lady, the other day,
gave me an account of sermon which
she heard not long since in St. Angus
tine, as an example of their mode of
embelishing Scripture history. The
preacher had dwelt awhile on the fall
of man. and the act of disobedience
by which sin came in the world, and
had got as far as the time of Noah.
He then said: DE world got to be
berry wicked; de people all bad. and
de Lord make up his mind to drown
dem. But Noah was q good man,
who read his Bible, and did jus IS De
Lord to.e him. And de Lord tole
Noah to build big ark. big enough
to hole part of ebery ting alive on de
earth. And Noah built it. And de.
Lord call upon ebery ibing ting to-
came into de ark and be saved. And
de birds come fyin' to de ark, and de
big lion, and de cow, and de 'passum
come in, and de horse come totting
to de ark, and de leetle worms come
creepin' in; but only de wicked sim
ners wouldn't come in, and dey laugh
at Noah and his big ark And den
de rain come down, but Noah he sat
comfortable and dry in de ark, and
read his Bible. And de rain come
down in big spouts, and come up to
de doo' step of de houses. and gin to

HOW A PaUTE WOULD SETTLE THE
MODOCS.

Says the Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise
of the 29th ultimo:
A sage looking Piute was yesterday
asked his opinion of the Modoc bust
ness, when be proceeded in pretty
fair English to show how to cook the
gooses of Captain Jack and all of his
crew. He says to fight them with
guus, as the Americans have been
doing, was mo good" He says that
the way the Piutes wonld fix them
would be to inform them that they
wanted to have big talk with them.
Then when they came to have thu
talk all would be seated in O circle,
each Piute with a Modoc at his left
hand. There would be 10 guns or
knives in the possession of either
party, but each Piute would manage
to have big rock within reach or in
bis pocket. The big talk would pro-
ceed until sign was given, when
each Piute woule seize hold of the
right wrist of his Modoc neighbor
with his'lcft hand, and then with his
right would grasp his rock and smash
in Mr.. Modoc's skull. mo gun, nc
knife" said he, "kill 'em all with
rocks. He seemed to think thi-
piece Of treachery quite fair and
square. and chuckled over his plan
not little. He said he had never
seen any of the Modocs, but had
heard a good deal of them, as they
used In times past to come over into
Honey Lake Valley and steal the
ponies Of the Piutes. He said the
Piutes were not afraid of them, bui
it was no use to follow them, as they
were bad fellows when they got intt
the rocks. Our Piute's plan of war
fare is precisely that practiced by th,
Modocs on the Peace COMMISSIONERS
and shows that all Indians are to b,
watched just as closely when they
propose q "big talk" as when the,
are in the open field.

THE Law OF ooUnrsuIp.

We clip from an old paper the
following account Of trial for
breach of promise of marriage, in
which the judge laid down q new
doctrine, which we should not be
sorry to see adopted: "a case was
recently tried in Rutland, Vermont.
in which Miss Munson received
81 ,425 Of o Mr.. Hastings for breach
OF marriage contract. The CURIOSITY
Of the thing is this: The Vermont
judge charged the jury that no ex-
piicit promises was necessary TO bind
the parties to marriage contract, but
that long attentions of In
tirnacy with o female was as good
evidence Of intended matrimony as
a special contarct. The principle of
the case undoubtedly Is, that if
Hastings did not promise, he ought
TO have done so-tbe law holds him
responsible for the non-performance
OF his duty. A most excellent de-
cision; a most righteous Judge, CON-
pared with whom Daniel would ap-
pear but common squirrel We have
no idea OF young fellows dangling
about after girls for year or two,
and then going off, leaving their
sweethearts half courted; we hate
this everlasting -nibble and never a
bite, this beating the bush and new
er starting the game; it is one of the
crying sins of the age. There is not
one girl in twenty can tell whether
she is courted or not. No wonder
that when Betty Shippers cousin
asked if Billy Doubtful courted her,
she replied: I don't know exactly ;
he's O sorter and q not sorter cour-
tin We have no doubt that this
Hastings is one of these 'sorter not
courtin' fellows, and most heartily
do We rejoice that the Judge has
brought him TO book with a 81 .425
verdict. The judge says that long
continued attention or intimacy Is
just as good as regular promise.
Now, We do not know what would
pass for intimacy according to the
laws of Vermont. but supposiDg at
tentions to consist of visiting a.girl
twice q week, and estimating the
time wasted by Miss Munson at each
visit to be worth dollar (which was
too cheap. Mr. Hastings has been
making q fool of himself fourteen
years and some odd weeks. This de-
cision marks new era in the law of
love, and we have no doubt will tend
TO the promotion of matrimony and
morality"

A FAMILY OF GIANTS.
One Of Thsm has AN Eroountsr viii
4 Buck

Benjaman and Catherine Trort-
man, OF Londonderry township, this
county, had sons and daughters eiah-
teen. The father and eight of the
children have gone to that bourne
whence no traveller returns. The
mother, who is about seventy-five
years Of age, and weighs upwards Of
200 pounds, avoirdupois, still lives
with her son George, in Londonderry
township. The ten children now tip
the beam of "Fairbanks" to the
tune Of 2,215 pounds. The respec-
tive OF gravity of each, according to
their last census, is as follows;
George, who lives in Londonderry
township, 245 pounds; Joseph, who
holds forth at Fair Hope, Somerses
county, 22D pounds; John, who re-
sides in the State of Indians, 2e5
pounds in his shirt sleeves; Daniel.
who lived in Kansas, 225 pounds;
Adam. who is a resident of the
Smoky City," Pfttsbargh, 240
pounds; Sarah and Polly, who reside
in this county, 40 and 200 pounds
respectively; Nancy who lives in
Maryland, 200 pounds; Betsy, who
has followed the advice of the Ia
mented Greeley and "gone West"
200 pounds. The father weighed
160 pounds, and the deceased chill
dren ranged in weight from 2so to-
225 pounds each. If any one can
beat this let hi,n rise and speak.
Peter Trontman, son of Joseph.
weighs about 200 pounds. Some
time since, he and his father were
out hunting aud shot q large buck.
At the crack Of the rife the buck
fell to the ground, and Peter ran up
to it, supposing it dead, get astride
Of it and was in the act of cutting its
throat when it sprang up and at
tackled him; be grabbed il by ths
horns, and held on to them. Then
ensued desperate struggle. The
father, who was not at this time near
enough to assist his son, could not
shoot the buck for fear of shooting
his son too. He hurried to the
scene, leveled his gun across his
sons breast and fred killing the
buck instantly He then found that
the buck had gored Peter through
the thigh, causing very severe and
ugly wound, which has caused him
to keep his bed ever since.
