Newspaper Postage.

The following in relation to news.
paper postage is of general interest.
1t is from the report..of the third Assist.
ant Postmaster General
Atthe last session Of Congress the
subject of postage on newspapers and
periodicals. was taken into cousidera-
ton by that body, resulting in the pas
sage of bill compelling prepayment
of postage, and fixing the rate Eat 2
cents per pound on all of that class of
matter published once a week, or more
frequently, and transmitted to regular
subscribers through the mails, and 8
cents per pound on such matter issued
less frequently than once week. The
provisions of this law are to go into
effect January 1, 1875. The Postmas-
teri General being by the law confined
to d choice Of one. Of three modes of
collecting that postage by means Of
stamps, considerable attention has
been given to the matter by the Office.
After q careful review of the plans pro-
posed, it was deemed best to recon-
mend the adoption of the system OF
prepayment by postage stamps affixed
to o memorandum of mailing, or, in
other words, to q stub in a book re-
tanned by the postmaster at the mailing
Office, receipt showing the weight OF
matter, and the amount paid being
given by the postmaster to the person
mailing the same, the stamps affixed to
the stub to be cancelled by a cutting
punch, thus preventing their reissue.
This plan, it is believed, is more prac.
ticable and less expensive in its opera
tions than either of the others, while al
the same timeit will be quite as effec.
tual in collecting the postage. a series
of stamps has been devised of twenty.
four denominations, by means of which
any sum which is multiple of either
the 2 or cent rate, from 2 cents to $72
can be made by the use of not more
than four stamps. It is expected tina

Indictment of Mormon Lee.

A telegram from Salt Lake City tells
us that John D. Lee has been arrested
upon an Indictment found by the Grand
Jury of the Second District Court of
Utah Territory, charging him with
murder, in having been engaged in the
bloody Mountain Meadow massacre,
perpetrated by the Mormons several
years ago. The victims of the terrible
slaughter, it will be remembered, were
a large number of men, women and
children travelling overland to Califor-
MIA. They formed the wealthiest i'm
migrant train that ever attempted to
cross the plains. Many of them trav-
eled in their own private coaches and
carriages, and were supposed to have a
large amount OF money with them.
They travelled leisurely toward the land
of the setting sun, where they intended
to establish a colony, and find homes
for themselves and children. They

as they travelled along rather than enc

WOO Legion, disguised as savages, fell
upon them one night and massacred
the entire train, with horrible atroci.
ties. Lee was at the time q prominent
officer of the Nauvoo Legion, a Nor
mon military organization, better
known as the DANTE band. It has fol
years been asserted, and generally be
lieved, that he was the leader of tn,
expedition that committed the, terribl,
slaughter. He is man OF extensive
means and influence among the oldel
Mormons, and desperate efforts vii
undoubtedly be made to shield him
but it is to be hoped that he will b.
brought to trial, and, with others en-
gagged in this bloody crime, receive tn
tardy punishment they richly deserv
if found guilty. The United State
officials are entitled to great common
dation in their efforts to ferret out tn
perpetrators of this barbaroLs and lon
concealed crime-the blacklist, pei
haps, of all the high-handed outrage
on life and property that have dark
; ened the record of the Mormon the
ocracy. q ~s ~ ~ a

This title now Justly belongs to a
physician who has added to the list of

are chargeable. The proyidential man
is DIR. Joseph Walker, of California,
whose Vinegar Ritters have achieved,
in the short space of two years, degree
of popularity never before attained by
any advertised preparation in this

in the shrewdness of the American peo-

of delusion. Indeed, we have reason

Something of o Scare.

3 A Mississippi paper relates that,
when the result of the local election in
Corinth, that State, was made known,
the victorious party were almost wild
with Joy over their victory bon fires
were lighted in the streets, and the
boom of cannon made the hills rever-
berate for miles around. When the
revelry was at its height, the west
bound train on the Memphis and
Charleston railroad approached, and
the glare from bonfres and sound of
the guns inspired all on the train with
the idea that a, terrible fight and con-
fagration were progressing. The train
was slackened to snail pace, while the
conductor with his lantern walked on
ahead, and when the cars reached the
depot it was found that every passsn,
ger who had the temerity to approach
the town, had sprawled himself upon
the floor of the cars, in the hope of es,

Investment with Positive Return.

No financial securities yet offered in the
market have become so readily and gener-
ally popular as the first mortgage premium
bonds of the Industrial Exhibition Company
of New York, and there exists many patent
reasons for this marked preference. In the
first place the bonds are placed at the attain
able price of $40 each, and the return of the
principal is assured beyond contingency
further, the holder of each bond participates
in every quarterly Premium drawing until it is
redeemed principal and interert. The pre-
miums range as high as 100000 for single
bond. The next Premium Drawing will be
held on the 7th of December next, at Steinway
Hall, New York. The character of the gen.
tlemen who have the management of this
great enterprise in hand, is of itself ample
assurance that the plan will be carried through
to successful contamination, and that the
interests of the bondholders will be faithfully
guarded. q q r-rtf.5.N it-se1 s1&

A Strange Act.

News comes from the canton of Tes-
sin, in Switzerland, of a savage act on
the part of the chaplain of Meride, in
the district of Mendrisio. The brother
OF the chaplain had given some signs of
mental alteration, which led the latter
to presume that his brother had some
design upon his life. Under this pre-
text he was shutup in a miserable room
with but small opening in it strongly
guarded by bars of iron, through
which his meals were handed. One
day latterly the sister of the victim,
who was in the habit of taking his
meals to the window, observed that the
last ration had not been withdrawn, and
she suspected he was dead. In enter.
ing the den, which had not been opened
for long time, Gaetano Roncati, such
was his name, was found at the foot oil
a bed of rotten straw, in contact with
the bare earth, in dying state. His
beard was long and intended, his body
was covered with bristles rather thar
hair, and his thin locks spread over his
shoulders like those of a singaro. The
place looked more like stable thar
anything else it's state is not fit fol-
description, but some idsa may bt
formed of it from the fact that for ter
years this miserable being had beer
locked up in the den with no otheI
company than the spiders, which hat
woven their webs from roof to floor
The cure was called to give the las
consolation of religion to the poo
creature, but when he arrived this victim
Of brothers barbarity had been re
y eased from his sufferings.
