Postofice Department Ruling About
NeXysDnuers. tI.-

Inquiries from many persons as to whether
they could be ecompelled to pay for newspapers
sent to their address without authority have
called forth the following ruling from the
postofice department; "The liability of a
party to pay for newspaper must be deter
mined by the rules applicable to other con.
tracts. When publisher, without a request
from a party, either expressed or implied,
sends a paper, the mere fact that the party
addressed takes the paper from tho postotfice
does not of itself create liability to pay for
It, 1t takes two to make contract, and one
party, without the consent Of tho other, can
not make him his debtor"

Sunday at the Naaterskill.

A number of Hartford people spent Sunday at the new and pleasant Hotel Kaaterskill. Among the number were Mayor Bulkeley, Charles B Gross and wife, w H Gross, c B Terry, Dr s R McNary, and George B Jewett. They are all enthusiastic to-day over the ho- tel, the scenery, the surroundings, the dining, and every thing else. The view from the hotel, including the Hudson river, is said to be unsurpassed. It is well known how this hotel was built. The owner, MT Harding, Phil adelphia millionaire, being at hotel in the vicinity and finding some fault with the arrangements, the proprietor said to him, '' We'll perhaps you had better build hotel for yourself. The gen. tleman replied, "I guess will," and he at once purchased land and built the hotel. On Saturday last he added no less 0 tract than thirteen thousand acres to his purchase; and he will continue to make improvements. There were over seven hundred guests at the hotel on Sunday, and by the end of this week over one thousand are expected. A celebrated band from Philadelphia fur nishes musicfor afternoon and evening concerts. General Grant is expected on Wednesday of this week. Among dis. tinguished guests present yesterdaywere Gen Horace Porter, formerly chief oi General Grants staff and now pres ident of the West Shore railroad com pany; General Sharpe, ex-president O. the General assembly of New York Gen eral Van Cott, of New York, and others
 MT W c Hunt, of this city, attends t' the wants of the guests, while MT Et Gillette, who runs the hotel, looks to everything, and has an eye to the bus mess equal only to the eyes of the ca gles that sail over the hotel.
