Under the provision of the new
postal law, county papers iweekly) are
to be delivered to subscribers in the
county free Of poftage. This law took
effect July /, 1S74-therefore post
masters should not collect postage on
such papers for the present or any fu-
ture quarter.
AT thisag of the world, and in this
country, a newspaper must be allowed
to chronicle passing events. If any
one objects to this he had better quit
taking papers and undertake to edit
and publish one himself. Then he might
stand a chance to get the foolish con-
ceits knocked out of him and learn the
importance Of things for himself, re-
cognizing facts and sustaining the laws.

rations for the hair, that an article of
this kind, to gain their favor and secure
their patronage, must possess real mer-
it. We are glad to assure our readers
that Halls Vegetable Sicilian Hair Re
newer is meeting with the success
which its merits 90 justly deserve; and
we have reliable evidence, that It will
perform all that is claimed for It, in re-
storing gray hair to its natural color,
and, as q permanent dressing, Is unsur-
passed.
The advertisement of the Fifth Gift
Concert, in aid of the Kentucky Public
Library, which takes place on July 31st,
at Louisville, appears this week In al
most every periodical published in the
United States. The bold figures, $780,
000," which sum constitutes the first
gift, stares us in the face everywhere.
As the result of this, Gov. Thos. E.
Bramlstte, the manager, receives thous-
ands of letters Of inquiry every day
enough to require a force of twenty
clerks, to answer. 1t is no small thing
to distribute 5000. 900, which feat will
be accomplished by the 9th of August
next. The extent of the operations of
these Gift Concerts is not generally
known. At the Fifth Concert, July
3lst, 1874, the gifts to the amount of two
millions five hundred thousand dollars
will be distributed, the largest being
$3.50, 600! At the New York Office sales
of tickets frequently reach 10000, per
day. Almost everybody buys tickets
in fact, We believe two-thirds of the
post-officcs in the country have repre-
sentatives. Gov. Bramlette is just now
the busiest man in Louisville.
