 Net Any Nore.-Some time since we of- fered as an inducement to subscribers to pay promptly for the renewal of their sub scriptions, to allow them to retain 20 cents of the yearly amount, sending only $l.sO instead of 92.o0. thus practically paying their postage which was so unjustly i'm posed by our fast Congress. A large num- Der have received the benefit of this offer by paying in advance, and in many in stances the plan has worked well, but 50 many have sent in $1.80, claiming s years subscription for that amount, who are two, three and four months in arrears Qn fact one or two claimed the 20 cents. who were more than six months in arrears, ) that we are compelled to abandon thai, proposition, and from this time forward the price of THE NEWS is S2 % year pre- cisely the same as before we made the above mentioned offer. 1t is hoped and expected the repeal of the infamous postal law of the last Credit Nobilier aHd Salary Grsbbers' Congress, will be among the very first acts of that body at it's next session m December.
 E. o. Jepson.-The following extract from the Hsrfford 7iases concerning E. O. Jepson. will be of interest to those of our readers who desire to know something of him who will appear at Lakeville Hall, December lst
 E. o. Jepson, the young elocutionist. read Tuesday evening at the Pearl Street Church before large audience-before an assemblsge of ladies and gentlemen who well repl esented the culture of our city. The frequent, but discriminating applause of Mr. Jepson's auditors testified unmis takably to the profound impression he made. He has the priceless advantages of rich and sympathetic voice. pleasing physical presence full of magnetism, and \ carnage replete with grace. MT. Us great merit ss reader is. that he is satisfied with remaining true to nature. and never indul- ges in that rant which is so common on the stage and in the lecture room, and which is she bane of most young (and many old) elocutionists and actors. He possesses a thorough knowledge of the power of the human voice. and Fare skill in adapting tone and emphasis to the emotion to be dis played. We judged from lis beautiful rendering of the ''Death of Little Dom bey" that he has in s high degree capaci- ty for expressing pathoa and the delicate shades of poetic sentiment. We are cer- tain that MT. Jepson has brilliant and honorable career before him. His name would be valuable one on the list of. any lecture bureau in the country. l.

 Is there no balm in ''Gilgal," and are there no ''fisikans" there. How about those accusations against tue Canaanites. hurled by those patterns of perfection and morality, the Daily Graphic Co., of New York. Now I used to live in Canaan, and l suppose and still believe that the inhab- itants thereof were, and are now, as honest as the generality of scal>wags, not except ing the Graphic. What claim had they to that balloon? Their tremendous gas bag went to Europe. Does any one for mo :. ment suppose that that thing, SO blowed and puffed for months, stopped short of it's destination Pooh! Came down in Ca naan. did ii? Why we have frogs out here that can jump that far-only give them jumps enough. Were it not that the repu. tation of the Graphic was thoroughly es. tablished for truth and veracity, might doubt their assertions Oh, ye Canaanites, how ye have degenerated within the last twenty years. s.

 Like This AE tbs 7ime.-A "very poor but honest" family residing in nearby village, not long since invited the local preacher and his wife to tea with them. The respected divine kindly accepted the invitation. and preparations were at once for proper celebration of the event.

In due time the distinguished guests arrived and the table spread, and an impression was being made upon their vis- itors that might even excite the envy of their more we'll to do neighnors. The above shows what family, whose every is willing to take hold and help in an emergency, can do if they set about it, and all would have been well to this day, had not pater Jansi1ies, as they were all seated around the table and about to do justice to such an extraordinary provision, with an air of ''I am monarch of all sur vey," majestically swung his ample arm with fingers wide spread over the table and said: i've live just like this all the time MT.
