'Postmasters shaD notify the publisher of any newspaper or other periodical, when any subscriber shall refuse to take the same from the office, or neglect to call for it for the period of one month" This knowing South Canaan P. M. says his "post office law books" which he receives every month, didn't contain the above paragraph. It must be, then, that Uncle Sam prints special edi- ton of laws for the South Canaan post office. To wind up with he informs us emphatically that he will not notify the publishers of any periodicals when subscribers refuse to take their papers from the office. Be that as it may; the NEWS has goodly list of honor able subscribers in South Canaan, who would not refuse to take their paper from the office without first instructing us to discontinue it
 but if, for any cause one of them should neg lect to call for it for the period of one month
 we shall rely upon Mir. South Canaan post
