1t is fortunate thing for the business

differently, and the last to tackle them
always gives the greatest dissatisfact-

POSITIVE RESULTS. There are nu-
merous remedies that cure sometimes
and becomes trusted as useful but
none have ever proved SO ef1ectual-
cured so many and such remarkable
cases-as DR.. Ayers medicines.
The Cherry Pectoral has restored
great numbers of patients who We're
believed to behopelessly affected with
consumption.
Ague Cure breaks up chills and
fever quickly and surely.
Ayers Compound Extract Of Sarsa-
parilla eradicates scrofula and impur-
tiles of the blood, cleanses the system
and restores it to vigorous health. BY
its timely use many troublesome dis
orders that cause a decline of health
are expelled or cured.

Newspaper Laws.

l. 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
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.
2. Any person who takes a paper
from the postoflice, 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 Il certain time, and the pub
Usher continues to send, the subscriber
is bound to pay for it, if he takes it 0ul
of the post-office. The law proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay
for what he uses.
5. The courts have decided that re-
fusing to take a newspaper and peri
odicals from the post-oflice or remov-
ing and having them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud.

Excursion Disasters.

In yesterdays HERALD we gave timely
warning to holiday excursionists, caution
ing them against undue haste in getting
The necessity for such advice is
found in our telegraph columns to-
day, for O shocking disaster occurred
yesterday afternoon on Lake Quinsiga-
mond, near Worcester, Mass, when several
lives were lost, and another at Trenton,
N. j., with the same sad result. The Quin-
sigamond accident was due to the frantic
efforts Of one thousand people to get on
board a small steamer, when the hurri-
cane deck gave way and the vessel
careened, precipitating several hundred
persons into the water. At Trenton q crowd
of excursionists were permitted to rush on
to wharf, when the structure sank be-
meath their weight. In both cases
panic occurred, as is natural
in the presence of sudden danger,
and many homes are thrown into mourn
ing. We trust that q strict and searching
investigation will be had, and in the event
of the responsibility being placed where it
belongs severe punishment awarded.
This will not bring the dead back to
lite or heal the wounds of the in
jurcd, but stern dealings may have the
effect to prevent such terrible scenes here
alter. 1t is true that if people would be
patient accidents like those of yesterday
would seldom occur, but crowds are
naturally unreasonable; therefore the
