Horrible Fate of "A Vessel.

LONDON. Jan. 22.-The British
steamer, Egyptian Monarch. from New
York, reports that early on the morning
of Jan. l6 she sighted a wooden vessel,
apparently American. on fire. Judging
from the smoke and odor, Capt. Irwin
thinks she was laden with oil. As the
steamer approached the burning craft it
was seen her masts we're gone. Two men
were climbing to the bowsprit. A life
boat on the steamer was hastily cleared
away, but before it could be lowered the
bowsprit fell and the two men were not
afterward seen, Capt. Irwin thought it
probable the boats from the burning ves-
sci we're somewhere in the vicinity and
remained near the spot until daylight.

NEW SPAPER LAWS.

The following are the laws laid
down by the United States govern
ment for the protection of news
papers:
sIf subscribers order the discon-
tiuuance of their periodicals, the
publisher may continue to send
them until arrearages are paid.
If subscribers move to other
places without informing the pub
fishers, and their paper is sent to
the former place they are held re-
sponsible.
The courts have decided that res
fuSlng to take periodicals from of.
fee before removing and leaving
them uucalled for is prima fAcia
evidence Of intentional fraud.
If subscribers pay in advance
they are bound TO give notice to
the publisher at the expiration of
their time if they do not wish to
continue taking it; otherwise the
publisher is authorized to send it
on and subscribers Will be rospou-
Sible until an express order to dis
continue the paper with payment
of all Is sent to the publisher.
Publishers of newspapers can
under law, arrest any NAH for
fraud who takes a newspaper and
refuses 10 pay for it. Under this
law it is "a dangerous trick for a
man to allow his subscription ac-
count TO run on from six months
10 % year and then tell the post
MASTER to mark refused or to
send the editor notice to dIscon,
