Every hour that fleets 90 slowly,

Luminous the crown, and holy,

A couple of New Lebanon Shakers got mar

a false view Of marrisge-looking to an sppear--

Lost By Not Taking Country Paper.


Generally speaking, but little importance
is attached to the taking of county news
paper. This neglect and Indifference had
its practical reward the other day


Some time ago a gentleman in this town
was appointed auditor to distribute the
funds in the hands of an administrator
among the creditors Notice of the audi
tor was published in two Of the country
papers.


1t so happened that few creditors re-
siding in a certain portion of the county
who bad collectively claims to the omount
I Of seven or eight hundred dollars, from the
neglect Of taking a country paper never
heard of the audit until after the report o
the auditor had been confirmed by thc
court. They then came into town to en-
/ quire about tho likelihood Of securing
their claims called upon an attorney, wh(
examined into the matter, and informed
them that they had forever lost their mo
ney, and we presume charged them fv
dollars for their information All this re
suited in being too penurious, too careles
to subscribe for a country paper.


These gentleman have learned lessor
that will last them the balance Of thei
lives, and serve as a warning to others who
from the same motive, fail to take thei
county paper.


There is scarcely a man in the communi
ty who will not be caught up some day o
legal notice, that does not take a paper
unless be clandestineIy reads his neigh
boris and every gentleman should be aboy
literary pilfering like this.

From the Press and Times. Aug 81


1t is not only possible but probable that
the country is about TO be convulsed with
another shock, not less wicked and treason.
able than the rebellion. Indeed it appears
TO US hardly possible to escape il. Disap-
pointed and treated with coldness and dis
trust on every hand, the President seems
determined to emulate the infsmy of JEFF
Davis, and damn himself to fame, since he
has hopelessiy forfeited the applause Of the
people. He evidently believes that he can
control the army, and that all that is
wanting to make himself absolute master
Of its movements is to deprive the dis
tinguished officers of their respective com
mands. The dark face Of Gordon Granger,
who by common consent is considered a
servant of the President, ready and apt to
execute any command, now peers from be-
hind the curtain. The country hasno con-
6dence in him, and the soldiers have 40
regard for him. If the President trusts to
his ability he will lean on a broken reed.
The Presidents jealousy of all rivals has
been the country's salvation in the past and
will be in the future. He


Bears like the Turk, no brother near the


throne"


He tolerates none who will not be his
supple slaves, ready to execute his com
mands without parley or controversy.
Hence he cannot get an officer of ability
great enough to destroy the government,
long enough to effect his purpose. An Of
hcer able to help the President to play the
Caesar, will prefer playing Caesar him
self TO merely being the servant of Andrew
johnson. Why should he buy eternal in
fanny at so dear a rate or sell himself to
everlasting shame for so trihing a recon-
pense as the notoriety of being Johnson's
tool? Whoever, in the army, can get his
consent to obey, the President, in his plot,
will assuredly be too feeble to carry it to
successful issue Johnsons inordinate
vanity and extravagant jealousy will in
volve him in endless quarrels with all able
coadjutators, and the Submissive, plant
fellows will have neither brains nor cour-
age enough to give him much help!


We will not be astonished, however to
hear Of the clash of arms at Washington
within the next ninety days The arning
of the Maryland Rebel militia is full of
meaning. Congress will meet determined
to impeach the President, and the latter
will use the most desperate means to pre-
vent it, even to forcing the Rebel Senators
into their seats or dispensing Congress by
force. The republic will be rid, we hope
and believe, of the usurper now at its head
before the next snowfall.

Now this is as ungenerous as it is unjust, and
we most emphatically protest against this style
Of eleetioneeriug. Gen. Bidsell, it is true, does
not seek the Office of Governor or any other office,
but will consent to serve, if he can be nominated
by upright and honorable dealing. lie has not
been brought out by Parks any one else in
particular. He is the representative of repre-
sentative class of our population, viz the farm-
ers of California. With the professional politi-
cions he is not n favorite, but with the great
masses of the people his name is invincible.


1t is unfair to lug in the nomination Of Parks
and couple his name with that of Bidwel, because
Parks was elected as State Senator on the
Chivalry Democratic ticket after the fall of Sum-
ter. If Parks is unpopular for this cause, surely
Gen. Bidwell is not to blame for it.. There are
other candidates for Congressman whose record
is beyond reproach.


Besides all this, we really do not believe that
Parks wants to 60 to Congress. 1t is true that

VINE NEAR TIE DooR.-The Massachusetts

does not matter how small or humble that home
may be, it is raised in the esteem any observ-

of a vine. 1t expresses love in the house, thought
fulness for what is at once graceful and ap-
propriate, pure and healthful domestic sent-
ment, and spirit of contented happiness which
many one goes the world to find, and
looks for in vain. Such simple home ornament
as this, is token for all to see that the

TIE STREET CARs.-The ice upon the
tracks Of the city railroad was cleared
away yesterday by laborers with picks and
spades, and the cars were set in motion
once more. The matter of snow upon a
track, and the difficulty OF moving the
cars upon it is somewhat new to this city,
and the managers were not so well pre-
pared to meet the exigency as they will be
after little experience. In the northern
cities when the snow is falling the cars are
kept in motion TO prevent accumulatons o
snow, and as an additional precaution the
rails are sprinklCd with coarse salt to
keep the snow from adhering.


The Richmond city cars have not thus
far received a liberal support. Some say
it is the price Of ten cents; others say 1t is
because the line is only partly constructed
There is no doubt that when the road is
completed to the terminus on Broad street
considerable addition will be made to its
number OF passengers. Whether ten cents
be too much or not, the company will soon
be able to say. Cheap fares are the best
guarantee Of full trains. 1t is for the COM
pany to say how low they can safely reduce
their charges. The railroad is great pub.
lie convenience, and it is to be hoped will
be so managed as to afford the greatest
benefit TO the people, and at the same time
the largest profit to the company. 1t they
can ascertain the Just middle ground that
effects these objects, they and the city will
be alike fortunate.
