 Well, you see, Susie, the pet of our house, is seven years old, and wife and I have been thinging that as she is not very strong it would be the proper thing to give her musical education. You know, John, when you and I were children attention was not so much in that direction and it was not considered so much of qualiGea- ton as at present, so don't wonder in the least at the look of surprise that crosses your face. But really, John, your wife asked me to bring up the subject to you as your Bessie is getting to be the right age for piano, as we'll; and she was of the opinion that if we should decide to both buy ut once that Shoninger would give us discount. 1 understand they are very reasonable with honest people who desire piano, and being honest themselves l that firm would sbe the best to patronize. ] What do you thinka
 ] Why, Peter, have been thinking for some time on the sane subject, and I stepped into the store this morning and requested Mir Pelham to give me a list of names comprising recent purchasers. He very kindly and must say little proudly acceded to my request by bringing forth a list of name s,that fairly astonished ne. Examine it. John, perusing.) Whew, but that Is surely sumner. If those people who are judges have decided for the Shonihger piano we ought to commence the year right by doing likewise. l To Shoningers We will go looking for the best the market affords, at the lowest
 possible prcies.

NEWSPAPER LAWS.

The following are laws laid down by
the United States Government for pro-
lection of newspapers.
Subscribers who do not give express
notice to the contrary are considered as
wishing to continue their subscription.
If subscribers order the discontinuance
of their periodicals the publisher may
continue to send them until all arrearages
are paid.
If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
thei. periodicals from the Office to which
they are directed, they are responsible
until they settle their bills and order them
discontinued.
If subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers, and
the papers are sent to the formor direc-
ton, they are held responsible.
The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office of re-
moving and leaving them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional fraud.
Any person who receives a newspaper
and makes use of it, whether he has or
dered it or not, is held by law subscri-
ber.
If subscribers pay in advance, they are
bound to give notice to the publisher at
the end of their time if they do not wish
to continue taking it, otherwise the pub
Usher is authorized to send it OF and the
subscriber will be responsible until an
express notice with payment of all arrears,
in sent the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can under
the law, arrest any man for fraud who
takes a paper and refuses to pay for it.
Under this law it is dangerous trick for
a man to allow his subscription account
to run on from six months to year and
a half, unpaid, and then tell the postmas-
ter to mark it refused" or to send the
editor postal card to discontinue the
paper"
