witpessed. In addition to providing for
ths wants ef the great mass cf people
assembled, a dinner was specially served
for the Company's invited gncMs, some
three or four hundred of whom sat down
at a table spread under a rude building,
hastily put up for the occasion, and there
discussed, in manner fit and seemly the
rich feast provided for them. The best
that could be procured of the fishes of the
sea, the fowls of the air, the beasts of the
field, and the fruits of the earth, were
duly and properly prepared and calmly
aud deliberately devoured. Equally un
exceptionable was the 'fluid portion of
thc entertainment, and the numberless
delicacies that came with it, each in pro
per and appointed place. All passed off
decently and iu order, without the occur
ence of accidont or ought to mar the gen
eral hilarity. Before nightfall those
bound for Buffalo took leave of their
entertainers, and after nice o'clock were
at home again, all safe and oomfortable.

Another measure i
which Congress has given th- people, is!
thc cheap Newspaper Postage Law, which j
has been already approved by the Prcsi-!
dent. 15vtbis law, one cent postage is
charged "npon newspapers under three ;
Ounces in WClgUt, IO uiij i.ua m mi;
ted States, and one-half this charge when
the postage is paid yearly or quarterly, in
advance, at the office where mailed. Way
not make the postags prepayable' al the
office where the newspaper is delivered?
It would ceriairily be much niore convenient
firths subscriber and puDiisher. It is
altogether impracticable for the newspaper
publisher to prepay the postage ou all the
newspapers he sends in the mail ; aad the
making out of lists of prepaid subscribers
at thc post-offiee where the newspaper is
mailed, to send to the office where it is to
ba deliverad "will add considerably to the.
duties of the clerks in the post-office estab
lishment, as well as to those in newspaper
publication offices. On newspapers of one
ounce and a half in weight, aud circulating
in the Slate where published, the postage
chargeable wiil be one-half cent and one
quarter cent per copy, according as the
postage is prepaid or not. Out of the
State, these newspapers pay the same rates
of postage as the three ounce newspapers.
The publishers of weekly newspaper may
send to each actual subscriber, within the
county where their papers are printed and
published, one copy thereof, free of postage.
Tiansient newspapers, if not prepaid, are
to be charged two 'cepts per copy. The
law is to go into effect on the 30th of
the present month. Philad. Ledger.

The Boston Journal records an exciting

During the singing of the second nymn,
an enormous mad dog rushed up the aisle
and cotcttenbed an attack on one of the
pew, and finally fell exhausted at the foot
of the pulpit Of course the Congrega
tion became greatly alarmed, and a gener
al rush was made for the doors. The
Journal adds r
At this crisis Mr. Ephrairo Pierce, a
youth of eighteen, and son of Captain
John Pierce, stepped from his place, seized")
the animal by the back of the neck, and
notwithstanding several attempts to bite, j
succeeded in drasgine him from the house
unharmed.
The doors were closed, and
the dog fled to the adjoining grave yard,
where he wa3 sabsequeutiy shot After
cuiet was restored, the choir finished their

hymn, and Mr. Damon pronounced a ser-
mon on death. A member of the congre-

which prevents decay. This is the case
iii peat beds and swamps. Sandy, gravel

Me lime to' act upon. No fancier who
knows what the action of lime is, upon'

When applied to land which bad act Borne'
