Newenaner Postal Law.

The new postal law to protect
newspaper publishers may appear
rather stringent, but we believe II
just. The law provides that any
person who may take a newspaper
or periodical from the post-ofiice, no
matter if he may have ordered the
same or not, is liable for the price of
subscription. And further makes it
theft when u subscriber refuses to
take his newspaper from the post
Office until all arrears are paid. In
other words when a subscriber in
arrears for a paper orders it stopped
or refuses to take it from the post
Office he may be prosecuted for theft.

MAIL RoBBER-An affidavit was made
on the 10th, by Brewster Cameron, a
special Post Office Inspector, charging
Frank Connelley, Post Master at Alex
andria, with embezzling the proceeds
of money orders, amounting to $61 IS,
and falling to make good the defalca-
ton, Connclley was arrested by Deputy
Marshal Jesse Wharton, and brought to
this city. Yesterday the accused was
arrai2ncd before Commissioner Lane,
and an investigation was held, and the
Commissioner held Connelley in bond
of $1,000, which he was unable to pro-
cure, and in default was committed to
the Parish Prison to await the action of
the Grand Jury.
On the 81 of January the Post Office
was robbed Of something like $500, and
Cameron was sent to investigate the
robbery, resulting in the above aflida-
Wit. While not accused of the robbery
in direct manner, there is said to be a
suspicion that Connelley knows some
thing about it. The Federal Grand
Jury will look into the matter.-[N. 0.

We met at Smyrna and in business. Here friend
ship sprang up between that strengthened time
passed by. / know not why it was. We were of diff.
ferent habits and temperaments, yet our hearts beat
in unison, and love responded to the throbs We
worked and studied together and talked of the present
and the future We laid plans for life and builC
our castles in the air as the worlds youths have
done. Our hearts were full of JOY and gadness We
looked only the sunny side of life and thus passed
many pleasant and happy days days that cast brighg
sunshine the backgrounds of the past. But the
time came for us to part. One fond look one clasp
of the hand and we were separated: he 70 remain in
business, and to go away. We heard from each
other at intervals and then came the sad intelligence
that my friend was dead Can il be. thought that
he. who was so young so noble and generous. is
dead? That the heart so good so true. warm for
ALL had ceased Its beating? AS in imagination
stood by his bier and saw his youthful face and
manly form; as saw the circle of weeping friends
and solemn procession; heard the tolling bells
the solemn service. and the mothers sObs. asked.
can 1t be? And when at the grave | heard the
minister in solemn voice saying dust to dustaShes
to ashes can it be? still enquired. Thought how
sad for knew how he loved and was loved; how
sweet life was to him, what bright antcipatiOns and
hopes he had of the future. But all has vanished
he is gone! gone!! gOneli
