ATTACHMENT TO NEWSPAPERS.

Some one who seems to know about the re.
lation of a good NEWSPAPER to the family writes
as follows.
The strong attachment Of subscribers to well
conducted newspapers is fully confirmed by
publishers. "Sop my paper" words of dread
to beginners in business, lose their terror after
paper has been established for a term Of years.
so long as n paper pursues Just, honorable
and judlcious course, meeting the wants Of its
customers in all respects, the ties of friendship
between the subscribers and the paper are as
hard to break by an outside third party as the
link which binds old friends in business or So
cial life. Occasional defects and errors in a
newspaper are overlooked by those who have
become attached to it, through its perusal, for
years. They sometimes become dissatisfied
with it on account of something which has slip
ped into its columns, and may stop taking it (;
but the absence # the familiar sheet at their
homes and offices for few weeks becomes an
insupportabe privation, and they hasten to take
it again, and possibly apologize for having it
stopped. No friendship on earth is more con-
slant than that contracted by the reader foi a
journal which makes an honest and earnest eff.
fort TO merit its continued support Hence
conscientiou.ly conducted paper becomes IA
vorite in the family.

An Important Decision.

The case of Gilkyson vs.. Bucks county,
3D. Norris Reports, decides that the county
is not liable for costs where tramps commit
ted to Jail by a justice of the Peace are not
allowed by the sheriff to depart when their
sentence expires without paying the cost
They must come out like other criminals by
paying the costs or taking the benefit of the
lnsolyent Act. This, where the fine, etc,
does not exceed fifteen dollas, would require
them to be confined for thirty days
before their discharge. The court fur
ther says, that where the commitments are
to accommodate, not to punish the vegrants,
the officers deserve no cost, aud adds, 'if
such things be done for charity, let it not be
for the beneftiof the magistrate, The jail
is not an aims house, nor jailors the admin
istrators OF the poor funds"
