IN THE POSTAL
SERVICE.

A. new bill providing for the better
classification OF mail matter and rates
of postage thereon will soon be submitted
to Congress. The general principles on
which tho measure is based are that the
Government should encourage the dis
semination of intelligence by providing
for the convenient and cheap transmits
sion Of letters, newspapers, periodicals,
and books; that by system Of registra-
ton rs cheap condition of transmission,
Objectionable publications may be kept
out OF the mails; that uniform condi-
tions should be prescribed for the trans
mission Of all useful publications.; that
the pose master at the place Of mail.
ing shall determine what may DO sent,
and fix the postage rate; that the post
age on the same general class of publica-
tions, irrespective Of frequency Of issue,
should he uniform at all post offices, and
whether for specimen copies or to regu-
lar subscribers.
The essential object is to secure uni
tornity, and thus to obviate the con-
stantly varying regulations or interpre-
tatioDs of the present postal laws rela-
tive to the newspapers and periodicals
made by different officials. These, when
involving discrimination as to the class
of periodicals., are apt to be vexatious
and rarely meet with general aquies-
cencc, while they leave room for doubt
or error which may easily become OPP
pressive to those whose business largely
depends upon q mail service. At the
same time, the la " as it now stands pre-
sents many anomilies, as, for instance,
the fact that monthly weighing just
over two ounces, published in any of the
large free delivery cities, pays $40 pos
tase per thousand subscript ons i'll the
city where published, while but about
$50 postage is charged ON the same if
sent TO any other part of the county,
with free delivery at all other letter car
rier offices.
The bill before us seems we'll adapted
20 meet all difficulties. It provides that
newspapers and other periodical publica-
lions shall be registered yearly, and that
thereupon the same be sent at uniform
rate of two cents per pound or fraction.
The periodical must be regularly issued

WAR IN LIVINGSTON.

Editor B. r. 1ddrocate Onr neighbor-
hood was startled by hearing the stimuli
taneous discharge of a volley of firearms
near the residence of DR.. West Faust
about O'clock 2. NJ, of the 10th inst
1t soon became known that the shots
had been exchanged between parties
known in this parish as the Jacllsons and
the Blounts; not all of either name how
ever were engaged or even pres
ent, while quite number of other per-
sons participated very freely. 1t seems
as if the combatants had long cultivated
a deadly feud towards each other and hav-
ing met at the Dr.'s log rolling, fine OPP
portunity was presented for settling the
grudge. Reports say that no less than
fifteen shots were fired, which was as
certained by the number of empty
revolvers examamined after tho fray.
The casualties so far as heard from
ELAN Blount killed, William Bl"unt Sc
verely wounded in the arm which he
will probably lose, joseph Jack

A TRAMP CowED BY A LADY
The audacity of the nomadic zap
scallions generally known as tramps
has often been iliust:: ted, but for
pure impudence and brutality few
exhibitions have ever exec. ded the
act of a vagrant who recently turn
ed up at Athol, Mass. In the course
of his tramp through the town this
ruffan entered the residence Of a
young married lady, whose husband
was at his place Of business, and
applied for food. His request was
granted, and substa ntial lunch
placed before him. After eating
the lunch he demanded some NOM
ey, and the lady refusing to com
ply with that demand, the ruf1ian
showed his true coIors by threat
ening chat no would take what he
wanted any way. For a moment
this threat frightened the lady, but
when the fellow, thinking to fright
en- her still more, picked up her
little baby and threatened to dash
its brains cut against the wall
maternal instinct nerved her to IN
wonted courage and she seized a
pistol from bureau drawer, cock
ed it and aimed at the ruffian's head.
The fellow looked for a moment at
the shining barrel pointed steadily
toward him, and at the pale but
determined face behind it, and he
felt that be bad met more than his
match in courage. Muttering an
oath, he laid the baby down again
and literally backed out Of the
door, the brave little woman Gov
ering him with her weapon every
step cf the way. Then as she told
her husband afterward, she caught
up her baby and sat down for -
good cry, but this little woman|y
reaction did not como until she had
rescued her child and thoroughly
cowed lis rufiianly assailant.

man whom she had not met before

cidea a. case against him. At the
dinner the gentleman, who had not
caught the name Of the lady when
n,rnduceG, took occasion TO vent
his feeling and express his opinions
of the judge in terms any thing but
complimentary. An awful pause il
the conversation indicated some
thug wrong and the gentleman
took occasion to express to the la
dy his hope that the judge was no
relation Of hers, to which, to the
infinite amusement of all present
she replied, oh, no only con-

not be prevented, and the gentle
man after little reflection came
slowly to the conclusion that the
