To Srnsi-mnritH to Titn Amuhican. After
January publishers will lc comp lled to pre
pay tb p.:stase on all the papers they send to
subscribers who do not resiJe in the county
where the paper Is published. Of come pub
lishers will not be expected to do this and give
credit too. It will be necessary, therefore, for
such s ubseribers to remit the amounts due by
them to-ether with an advance payment of at
least six mouths. We make no additional charge
for postage, but in place of it, demand advance
payment. During the present and following
month we thall send statement of subscription
due to a nrmber of our subscribers. e would
earnestly request all who may receive thein will
remit at once the amount they owe as we are in
need ot the fund. In all cases where advance
payment is neglected, we will add tweuty-fivc
cents ir year to the subscription price, but in
the most cases of such neglect we intend to dis
continue the paper until advance payment is
made, and to require immediate payment of the
amount due.
Subscribers within the county will have 110
postage to pay. But they are reminded that
publishers are compelled to pay cash t their
workmen, to the paper makers, for iuk, type,
rent, fuel, their own living, and everything that
enters into the busii e. We, therefore, can not
afford to give long credits. Every subscriber
ought to pay up within the year, and where it is
longer neglected they ought at least to pay as
much iu advance as they have been iu arrears.
It would require a much larger capital than we
itosscts. were we to give unlimited credit, or in
deed, for a very long j-eriod. Necessity that is
inexorable demands that payments be made
more promptly than heretofore has been the
custom, aud as every body else demands cash or
gives but short credits, we must do the same

with the place of holding the election at Cape
town. This will make an additional expense an
nually, a under this arrangement, there will
have to be elided a board of election officers,
Justices of the Peace, Constables, Overseers of
the Poor, Street toiamisMiinei r As.-cssors and
the tame number of Council, as in the larger
wards. We can see no advantage in this organi
zation, and it will undoubtedly prove a great
disadvantage to a l:us;e majority of the people
rctddiui; in the ward, who will be compelled to so
at least a half mile from the lui-iness portion of
the town, to transact bn-iness in the ward. He
sides it will incur an t xlra opeie to its tax
payers. The proposed new ward we believe to
be decidedly objectionable to two thirds of the in
habitants of the borough, ami petitions will un
doubtedly he fiied piotetin against the move
ment. If the ward is too large, and it is too in
convenient to the voters in the tipper end of the
ward to attend the elections, let them apply for
a precinet in that part of the town to which no
objection would be raised. There is no ncces.-ity
for a new ward that we can see, and we hope the
report of the committee will not be sanctioned
by the Court. All who are opposed to the pro
ject should petition at once tohavethe report set

rr.iiin on Hawk am Owi. Scalps. A pe
tition is being circulated for signatures applying
to the Court of Common Pleas of Northumber
land county, as follows :
'your petitioners, the undersigned, respectful
ly ask that the tburt, by the authority vested in
it, will decree and order the payment of a boun
ty for the killing of hawks and owls within the
countv of Northumberland. And your petition
ers represent that in view of the destructive ha
bits of the above named birds of prey, and the
losses and troubles arising therefrom, the sum of
one dollar Tor e.ich l'uil growu hawk or owl, and
fifty cents for each nestling or yonng hawk or
owl, would be a reasonable and proper reward
for their killing. Aud your petitioners will ever
pray, &r.;'
As the Democratic King is to be re-established
iu the couuty, the above is intended to take the
place of premiums ou skunk scalps, so notorious
in the county several years ago. We should
judge that those who desire to exterminate
hawks and owls, will do so without a premium,
and not ask the Court to grant a matter calcu
lated to benefit a few ring politicians. Such a
grant would afford them an opportunity to fleece
tho county treasury through their agents who
make it a business to canvass the neighboring
counties, and come here to receive a premium. If
the prayers of the petTTioners should be granted
we may expect a nice sum evpeuded annually for
that purpose, as this county will have to pay for
every hawk and owl that may find its way hero
from this couuty as well as any other.
Tub Foot:. The city journals furnish fear
ful and sickeuing accounts of dcstituliou and suf
feilng in their midst. Although the most exten
sive and liberal arrangements arc being made to
alleviate want, they fall short of meeting the
demands made upon charily. The fault is most
ly with the poor themselves in not taking advan
tage of op)ortuuities offered to provide for their
wants. The New York U'urlil boldly asserts
that much of the pauperism in that city is large
ly owing to and nitogcther fostered by a system
wbOfe only merit is to eueourage gratuitous mi
nistrations by the women and clergy, and secure
a sense of satisfaction to the upper classes. Ouc
fact is instanced that at one institution :u New
Yoik the Free Training School there are
three huudred situations waiting to be filled, yet
women refuse to take them, whiie at the same
moment they are clamoring for aid. Charity is
one of the most cwmmev.dable of Christian traits,
but ii fchould be wisely disjensed.
For several winters liirge numbers of poor
from abroad came to this place, and were cared
for by our citizens. Many of these were unde
serving. This winter wc may naturally expect
mauy more from the tightness of the times, and
scare':l y of labor. As to our own poor the re
ally deserving among us b-t us provid- for them
first, and when "tramps- appeal to our charity,
let them receive it, but show them how to earn
it by honest work. Should they decline to work
they will be undeserving of charity. Those who
are chosen to c.ire for the poor, and whose duty
it is to provide for thein, should make arrange
ments to have labor at hand for '"ramps" as
they come along. There is much needed work
on our streets, and elsewhere around the town.
To require them to work a few days will be a pro
per exaction from those who solicit alms, and
will not interfere with those who are already at
work ou them. This plan has been tried in oth
er towns and cities, and has been found to work
well. It has had the effect of lessening the uum
bei of whiskey soakers asking alms who have

Tin: Pkoimsed Nr.w lliunon. We observe
that subscription hooks have, been opi ned for
subscription of stock to this cntei prise. We re
gret however that the location of the bridge is
designated and lixed at Packer street iu Cake's
additio.i, which must necessarily prevent sub
scriptions from the town proper. The river at
that point may, perhaps, be two hundred feet
narrower, but if it weie 500 feet it would not be
a sufficient, consideration to locate the bridge out
of town. If the bridge is lucated at that point,
the towage, of boats will not, of course, be co
llected, as the boats loaded at our coal wharves
would necessarily have to he towed up to the
bridge, which would cost just as much in time
and expense as to take them at once across the
river. The revenue from this one branch aloue
would be over two thousand dollars, and would
pay eight iter cent, on the half of the estimated
cost of the bridge. More thau that the bridge
would be ouly a short distance from tho North
umberland budge, and what is worsrfj-.vould land
passengers and teams in the middle of the nar
rows on the other side. These are only a few of
the objections that niteht be urged ngaii'.st fixing
the location at such a point.

A Llsson TAfiaiT. Traveling from Hanis
burg to Altoona, says a well-known physician,
recently, we happened to occupy the next scat
to a lady and gentleman who carried with them
on their journey what was evidently their lir.-.t
baby. It is but fair to the gentlemau to say that
he took Uon him a reasonable share of the
trouble of minding the little one. After a short
sleep in the father's arms, it. awoke up hungry
aud noisy. The baby cried aud screeched, it
knew well for what. The mother dandled it,
chirped to It, showed it the window and how to
look out of it. but faiied to pacify baby of course.
At length the father, pained and mortified
enough, turned to me and said, "I'm sure, sir,
baby must annoy you." I replied, "No; the
child does not aunoy me in the least ; the crying
and screeching, and useless efforts to pacify the
infant, do aniioy me very much. They are all
due not to the child, but to the mock-modesty
of the infant's mother and, I suppose, of your
self. The child I sincerely pity. It is hungry.
Its mother knows that. And she is so modest,
forsooth, that she cannot nurse her own babe in
a railroad carriage ! Take my advice, ns a fami
ly man, and it is this : Tell your wife to nurse
her hungry infant, and get rid of this silly hum
bug of mothers who are so modest as to starve
their own children rather than let it lie known
that they could nurse their babes."
This as said loud enough to be heard all
around. Of conrse, the mother listened 10 every
word. After a few further fruitless efforts to
quiet baby by drumming on the window and a
few significant winks from the husband, the !
roaring young fellow was supplied by his mother
with what he had made all the noise about. He
taught that father aud mother a lesson that day
which we expect they will never forget. .lroii

Uoi.d Attlmit at Swini,lio. On Friday
last D. E. Kobinson, Esq., cashier of the Miffliu
County National Bank, received a tclegraphi'- i
dispatch from Middleburg, purporting to be from
Col. Wm. Willis, requesting him to forward S50)
by express to the hitter's address at Selinsgiove.
AoCol. Willis was in attendance at the Snyder
county court as a wituent. the money was
promptly forwarded without a shadow of suspi
cion that a swindler was on the make. Ou the
colonel's returt. to Lcwistown, the matter was
incidentally mentioned, when it transpired that
he had sent no such message It has 6ince been
ascertained that the swiudler called at the ex
press office at Selinsgrove for the package, but
the agent being sharp enough to require known
proof of indcntilicalion, faiied to get it. The
money has been returned. Swindlers of all kinds
are becoming so common, and under such plausi
ble pretences, that it will almost be a safe rule
to refuse dealing with strangers altogether where
obligations iu money matters or money are con
cerned. Ijvlft'j'VH f-'ttrrttt.

Stouk Kt KNF.n. On Monday night about 11
o'clock, the store of Messrs. Soyer t Son, at
Kant., this county, was discovered to be on lire,
and the buildings with its entire contents was
destroyed. Wc are informed by persons who
were present, that it, undoubtedly was the work
of an incendiary, ns the ice house in the rear of
the main building was the first part to burn. We
are glad to learn that there is an insurance of
$4,000 on the stock, in the Aetna. The Junior
member of the firm was in the city buying goods,
at the time of the fire. SeVntt.-ore Trihvnr.

Scaler of Weights mid Measures.
Fuitvr of th( American :
A communication over the signature of D. S.
Kci'z, County Commissioner, apenrcd in the
Sunbury Daily of Thursday, the 2Gth inst., in
which ho gives the fees charged by law by the
Sealer of Weights and Measures, which are the
same that I have been charging in every instance.
There have been no complaints, as he states, as
to the charges, as every business man I have met
with is most cheerfully willing to abide by the
law, except Mr. Keitz himself, after showing him
the fee bill. Mr. Keitz is the only person who
has declined to pay the fees during my canvass
iu the county in the performance of my duty as
an officer. He gave as a reason that he ought to
be exempt from paying because he was a I'onnty
f'ommixion'r. Besides, ho informed me that he
had but one scale on his premises when there
were two. Any one is privileged lo examine and
compare my li't with the one published, and
they v ill find them alike. The reason he gave
for refusing to pay, was that he did not hnow
that an apxiintment of Sealer of Weights and
Measures had been made, and because he was a
County Commissioner he thought he should not
pay anything. This is the only complaint that
has been made, and I leave the public lo draw
their own conclusions. As :i public officer I in
tend to discharge my duty in accordance with
the law, and if the law will exempt Mr. Keitz
from paying because he is a County (Vii;.si-i-n;
perhaps bv accident, I shall feel satisfied.

.V,. f.Jitvr:
The question of dividing the West ward of
Sunbiiry, has been somewhat agitated by the
Court appointing three persons to locate the di
viding line. From what I can learn a majority
of the Commissioners appointed, recommended
the Shamokin Valley R. K., as the most appro
priate line for the. division. South of that line
there arc a majority of twenty-seven votes in the
ward. Besides this Gve-e.igblhs of the taxes are
paid by the inhabitants of the proposed division.
Another matter is to be taken intoconsideration.
According to a decision of the Supreme Court,
"That citizens residing in a ward that receives
110 benefit from a borough or city from a tax as
sessed for tin; benefit of the whole, is not liable
to taxation." This relieves the people of the
proposed ward of the gas t ax. If the liue propos
ed is adopted, there will be but two lamps in the
ward, ai:d the citizens will pay the expenses of
thfve without a lax. Let ns hear from others.
