Newspaper LAWS.

/. A postmaster is required to give
notice by letter, (returning paper
does not answer the law when sub
scriber does not take his paper out of
the office, and state the reasons for its
not being taken any neglect to do so
makes the postmaster responsible to
the publisher for the payment.
80. Any person who takes a paper
fron the postof1ice, whether directed
to his name or another, or whether he
has subscribed or not is responsible for
the pay.
3. If any person orders his paper
discontinued he must pay all arrear-
ages, or the publishers may continue
to send it until payment is made, and
collect the whole amount, whether it
be taken from.the office or not. There
can be no legal discontinuance until
the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper
to stop at certain time, and the pub
Usher continues to send, the subscriber
is bound to pay for it, if he takes it out
of the post-office. The law proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay
for what he uses.
.. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take a newspaper and peri
Odicals from the post-of1ice or remov-
ing and having them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud.

Natnrc,S Triumph.

Nature, in her luXuriance, has
clothed the hills and dales with herb
and shrub, whose occult natures
merely require the earnest application
of the scientific and inquiring mind to
reveal their curative properties, for in
the vegetable world kindly provi-
dence has placed healing for all ma
tions. The only specifics for any dis
ease yet discovered are vegetable in
their nature, and while quinine has
been accepted as the only remedy for
one class, the extract of the buchu
plant is rapidly taking its place as n
sovereign remedy for other of those
ills which afflict humanity. The
type of disease to which it is remedial
is a broad one, and its manifestations
are legion, but it may be stated in gen
eral terms that alrdiseases of the urin-
airy organs, whether caused by eli
mate, irregularity, or self-generated,
submit at once to the operation of its
power. Helmbold's Buch, for all such
complaints, is the result of long re-
search, and is acknowledged superior
to all other preparations.

go to Johnsonburg, point about eight

that work will begin at once, and cut

LEMONS. - For the sick headache
take II tumblcr two-thirds full of finely
crushed ice, the juice of lemon and l
teacupful of white sugar. This mixture
eaten by degrees or all at once will al
lay the feverish thirst and quiet the
disturbed qualmish stomach, as it is
not sweet enough to be nauseous. For
Il cough or a tickling in the throat,
take the juice of two lemons, the beaten
white of egg, and enough powdered
or fine granulatcd white sugar to make
a thin paste. A teaspoonful of this
mixture will allay the irritation and
cure a cough in its early stages.

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. - Yesterday
morning, the 18th inst, as the Local
freight east was shifting cars at Drift
wood, they struck and killed Mr..

section of freight coming west, and
while thus engaged stepped from the
main track to the siding, his back to
the Local, which was backing down
the track. 1t struck him, throwing
him under the cars and mangling him
almost beyond recognition. He leaves
a wife to mourn his loss. - Sterling
