Newspaper Laws.
1. A postmaster is required to cive
notice by letter, (returning a paper
does not answer the law) when a sub
scriber does not take his paper out of
the office, and state the reasons for its
not being taken ; any neglect to do so
makes the postmaster responsible to
the publisher for the payment.
2. Any person who "takes a paper
from the postollice, whether directed
to his name or another, or whether he
lias subscribed or nut is responsible for
the pay. 1
8. If any person orders his paper
discontinued lie must pnv oil arrear
ages, or the publishers niav continue
to send it until payment is 'made, mid
collect the whole amount, whether it
be taken from the office or not. There
can be no legal (hVontiii'innce until
the payment is made.
4. If the subscriber orders his paper
to stop at a certain time, and the pub
lisher continues to send, the subscriber
is bound to pay for it, if betakes it out
of the post-office. The law proceeds
upon the ground that a man must pay
for what in? uses.
5 The courts have decided that re
luslnir to take a newspaper and perl
odicals from the post-office or remov
ing and having them uncalled for, is
prima facia evidence of intentional
fraud.

Arrested for Forgery. James
Paul, a colored citizen of Oliver town
ship, is In trouble, ami languishes la
duress In Armstrong county, he haV'
ing been arrested by an officer from
Klttannlng on Saturday, the 0th Inst.,
and given quarters with the sheriff of
that county, awaiting the next term of
court. Itjappears that James lias been
too expert with the use of the pen,
and is charged by his brother Peter, a
resident of Wayne township, Arm
strong county, with attaching his
name to a note upon which he drew
$200 from the First National Bank of
Kittaunlng, and to answer this little
piece of slight of hand he now lan
guishes. The case has an ugly look,
and it is possible that James will take
a walk toward Allegheny.
In Limbo. Robert and Harry
Pounds, two of the somewhat notor
ious Pounds family of Indiana county,
several of whom are now serving
terms In the penitentiary, sent from
this county, were placed In our jail on
Saturday night last, Deputy Sheriff
A. C. Steele and Jas. Cornell having
brought them from Wayneshnrg,
Green county, where they had been
arrested and held upon orders from
the District Attorney of this county.
These men are held to answer the
charges of burglary and larceny, and
are supposed to have belonged to the
baud that marauded the country, car
rying off grain, harness, etc., and rob
bed the farmers' spring and smoke
houses. They will lie tried at the en
suing term of court.
Jewelry Found. Last Sunday
evening a young dog belonging to Mr.
Curtis Vasbinder, residing on tho
Clarion road, near Vasblnder's school
house, in Rose township, was observed
to bo playing, puppy like, with n
package of something, which upon in
vestigation turned out to be the .rem
nant of an old shirt, in which was
wrapped h quantity of Jewelry. Mon
day morning Mr. Vasbinder informed
Messrs. Melinight A Bro., of the
character of the property discovered,
and upon Mr. Templeton's visiting
the Vasbinder mansion and invest!
gating the property he had no trouble
in identifying it as that stolen from
their store recently, and for which
three men now languish in the county
Jail. The dog evidently got the pack
age from a broken place in the wall of
the school house, there being marks of
something having been removed there
from, and it is supposed the thieves
placed it there for safe keeping, and
fail d to secure it perfectly. It would
be strange if the freak of a playful
puppy should work out the clue to the
guilty parties in tho robbery.
Cucumber Pickles.
The thing is to make them green,
and do it without introducing any salt
of copper. The way to get the color is
to extract it from some vegetable sub
stance. The way I set about making
my pickles is as follows: I have nice
small cucumbers picked, Which I
wash, lay in dishes, aud sprinkle with
salt, into which I have ground up a
piece of alum not any larger than the
end of the little finger. After these
have remained in the dish for a week
I put them into a stone jar, having
wiped them, and on this I pour boil
ing vinegar. When they are filled I
put on top of the jar cabbage leaves,
and on that I place a clean stone to
keep the pickles down. If, after a day
or two, my pickles are not green, I de
cant the vinegar, make it hot not on
the boil and repeat the process, with
fresh cabbage leaves. If not at the
first trial, at the second the pickles
have a nice color. For seasoning,
when I boil my vinegar, for every
quart I put in a muslin bag a half
ounce of allspice, mace, whole black
pepper and mustard seed.
Predictions about 18S0 to 18S7.
In a pamphlet recently published
the author, Professor Grimmer, as
serts: "From 1880 to 1887 will be one
universal carnival of death." Asia
will be depopulated, Europe nearly so,
America will lose fifteen million peo
ple. Besides plague, we are to have
storms and tidal waves, mountains are
to "toss their heads thro' the choicest
valley," navigators will be lost
by thousands owing to the "capri
cious detlxturcs of the magnetic
needle," and islands will appear and
dissapcar in mid ocean. Ail the
beasts, birds, and fishes will be dis
eased, famine and civil strife will de
stroy most of the human beings left
alive by plague; and, finally, "two
years of fire" from 1875 to 1887 will
rage with fury In every part of the
globe. In 1887 the "Star of Bethle
hem" will "reappear in Cassiopia's,
Chair," the immediate results being
universal war and portentious floods
and shipwrecks. North America is
again to be involved in civil war, un
less a "Napoleon arises to quell it ; but
during these terrible days the Pacific
States will be a veritable Paradise of
Peace compared to the hellish strife
that will be waging throughout the
world." The few people that may
manage to survive til 1887 will have
reason to be thankful. Never mind
the deluge and the storms but go to
McAfee for your nobby fall suits.
Be careful of your postal cards.
The Pottsville Journal says: A gen
tleman who had occasion to write to
bis mother a few days ago used one,
writing on it In pencil and signing his
given name. Through some careless
ness it fell into the bands of a rogue,
who effaced all the writing but the
uame substituted a request for $20, to
be sent to a given address and it took
sharp telegraphing on the part of the
postal authorities to stop payment of
the money order which was promptly
sent in response.
It is expected that the 1880 census
will show a population of 50,000,000 Jn
the United States.
