WHAT A LAWXR LOST BV NOT ADVERTISING —A
gentleman called at our office lasi Saturday ami ask
ed io look ai a Lebanon paper We handed him ihe
Courier Alter scanning ns columns lor some time,
he threw it down with a disappointed air, and ex
claimed. " Well, some one's ihe loser by ihi "
We looked np inquiringly, and he explained: '• I
was trying to hod out the name of some lawyer in
Lebanon."whom I might empiov to aiieml to a little
law business therethat requires looking alter imme
diately : but it seems the Lebanon Lawyeis don't
advertise— l canh find the card of a single one of
them in thia paper."
So, by " saving" lhe expense of 53 orS4 a year,
a Lebanon Atiomey has lost a fee ol—peihaps 550
pe'haps more Does any person still live, in thi<
of universal newspaper circulation, s'upid
enough to believe that there's no use in advertising

NATCR>L CURIOSITV —The Lancaster Examiner
savs lew persons are aware of the existence of a
natural curiosity, to tie lound on the Urm of Mr.
John Baasler, near Pequa valley, in that county.—
[t is a mammoth cave, nearly one hundred leet
deep. The entrance is about thiee feet wide at the
narrowest places At the boitoin there is a large
sand bank, and space of about fifty feet, and run
ning siream ol water, so broad that 110 man can
throw a stone across. The attempt has been made,
and ia no instance was it successlul. Judging by
the sound ot stones drnpppd in the water it must
be veiy deep. It has been tried about ten leet
from the bank and lound to measure eleven lee 1 ,
and the supposition is, that it is much deeper fur
ther cfl.
IN NEW YORK there appears to be little change
in the money market, but the leelmg is deciJediy
more cheerlul. Paper ol first character goes at 12

Ni:W ARRANGEMENT.
HE DICTION IN PRICE !
An experience of fifteen years in publishing
a newspaper, has satisfied us that the Credit
*ystem is radically wrong, both to the Pub
lisher and to the Subscriber. Under its ope
ration a large amount is constantly due from
subscribers located in everv part of the coun
ty, which at best can be realized only by j
waiting years, and in two many cases is ut- 1
terly worthless, the person receiving the paper |
having deceased, or left the county, and the ;
printer has the vexation of finding that he is \
not to receive anything for the labor and ex
pense of years. On the other hand, we arc
obliged to charge promptly paying subscribers
a mm sufficient to make up these losses.
Having become thoroughly satisfied that
the system of advance payments is better
both for publisher and subscriber, we have j
determined to adopt it. Hereafter the ' lie- '
porter' will be furnished to subscribers at :
ONE DOLLAR per annum, payable invaria- j
bly in advance, and will be sent no longer I
than paid for. These terms will be inflexibly
adhered to.
Those of our present subscribers who are
indebted to us, and wish to avail themselves
of these terms, can do so upon settlement 1
We shall continue to send them the paper
until the close of the present vo'rme, (which
will lie about the first of June next.) upon the
[original terms, when we shall positively dis- j
ontinue sending the paper to every subscri-!
1 or in arrears, and proceed to collect the am- J
ount due us.
I Subscribers who have paid in advance,and I
whose t'me expires before the close of the pre- j
I sent volume, wi'l have To i weeks notice of l
"he expiration of their subscription.
We shall give this plan a thorough trial.—
Me be'-eie w v.'"" meet the approbation of i
"1 those who desire to take, and pay for, a j
County paper ; and we are certain it will re-1
lucve us from mi ny of the vexations and dis- i
appointments for wl 'c'.i the business i* pro-'
v. rbial. We shall at least have the satisfac- 1
rdon of knowing that we have pay for every i
Paper sent; and, we tru .t, of feeling that we :
have given to every subscriber th%full value i
jut his Dollar.
j lo any person sending us five new :
pab*critiers, with the cash, ($5) we will 6cnd |
■he Reporter gratis, one year.
