Merchants, Me chanics, and tradesmen generally, may extend their business by availing themselves of the op portunities for advertising in country papers which his agency affords. To all Concerned. We would call the attention of some of our subscribers, and especially certain Post Mas ters, to the following reasonable, and well set tled rules of Law in relation to publishers, to the patrons of newspapers. THE LAW OF NEWSPAPERS. if Subscribers who do not gie express no tice to the'eontrary, are considered as wishing to continue their subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their papers, the publishers may continue to send ihem till all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to lake their papers from the officers to vjhich they are directed, they are held responsible till they have settled their bill, and ordered :heir papers discontined. 4. If subscribers remove to other places with out informing the publishers, and their paper is sent to the former direction, they are held re sponsible. 5. The courts have decided that refusing to take a newspaper or periodical from the office, or removing and leaving it uncalled for, is "pri ma facie" evidence of intentional fraud. An Obstreperous Correspondent. Several weeks ago we noticed the reception of a communication, without the name of the writer accompanying it, and refused to publish it in consequence, according to our prescribed rule. This has made the writer terribly wroth ; and the way in which he vents his indignation ipon us, through another private communica tion, without his name, isreallyalarming. He talks as if he held our destiny, and the destiny of our paper in his -hands, and would deprive us of the means of subsistence if we do not at once show signs of repentance, and yield to his very modest demands. It ;s a pity that some folks will continually be tuakingjocy of themselves, and expose their ignorance, stupidity and narrow-mindedness on all occasions. We respectfully said that we published no communication without knowing who the author was. This was not enough for our hero, and be must needs fall to abusing us, because we refused to make the columns of our paper the medium for heaping the abuse of an anonymous scribbler upon the citizens of Stroudsburg. But we hare borne it all and are still alive. He threatens that if we do nol al once pub lish his communication, with a suitable apology for the delay, he will have it published in the other paper, if Rafferty will do it for him. He is at liberty to do so. If he still refuses to send us his name, and can get Rafferty to publish his article, we have no objections. But even Raffeny will think twice, before he allows such a production to go into his Democrat, without knowing who is the father of it. Rafferty don't like libel suits better than his neighbors. We would once moro inform this furious fel low, that our object in wishing to know his name, is not to lay it before the public, or to reveal it to any clique he may imagine we are connected with. We keep the names of all correspondents profoundedly secret and what we desire to know them for, is our own safety. We have a little curiosity, however, in the pres ent case. There was a Phrenologist in town a short time ago, who would have given a trifle for just such a head as our correspondent must have. In conclusion, we may add, that we can riot be driven into ihe publication of any thing whatever. We have our rules, and cannot de part from ihem, to please subscribers" or others. The Warren Murders. Peter W. Parke and Joseph Carter, Jr. have not been sentenced. Their cases have been held over until the May Term of the Supreme Court of N. J., in consequence of the Court of Errors and Appeals, and the Court of Pardons, established by the new Constitution, not yet be ing organized. As soon as the former Court is organized, it is understood a Writ of Error will be applied for in each case. li "will, therefore, take some time yet before the fate of these men will be determined. Election of United States Senator. A TARIFF VICTORY. The Legislature of this State held a joint meeting on Thursday last, to elect a U. S. Sen ator, for the unexpired term of James Buchan an, who has been transferred to President Polk's Cabinet. Five ballotings were had, when Gen. Simon Cameron, of Harrisburg', was chosen. The Hon. George W. Woodward, of Luzerne couniy, a Free Trade man, was nominated in caucus, and supported by a majoriiy of the Lo cos in joint meeting. The Whigs made no nomination of their own, deeming it better not to do so, as there was no probability of electing him. On the first ballot, therefore, they voted for several of our own men, and on the second and subsequent ballois, went for Gen. Cameron until, with the aid of a majoriiy of the Natives, and sixteen Tariff locos, they finally succeeded in electing him. The vole stood, Cameron 67, Woodward 55. Gen. C. ia pledged to support the Tariff of 1842, without any change, and to oppose the annexation of Texas. Appointments. The Hon. George Bancroft, of Massachu setts, has been confirmed by ihe Senate, as Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Polk's Cabinet is now complete, and their whole atieniion seems" lo he given to removing the poor dependents of Captain Tyler from their snug, fat berths. Up wards of one hundred nominaiions have already beon made by Mr. Polk; some of them to the most lucrative situations under government. The appointees are all radical loco focos. This is the way in which Mr. Polk observes the pledge he made in his Inaugural Address, o be the President of ihe United Slates, and not she President of the party. Mexico and the United States. Gen. Almonte, the Mexican Minister at Washington, has demanded and received his passports, and will sail for Vera Cruz, in a few days. He has protested against the Annexa tion of Texas to the Union, and said that his country would regard the consummation of the act, as a declaration of war on the part of the United States. Ifew Hampshire. The annual election in this State, for Gover nor and Members of the Legislature, took place one day last week, and as usual, resulted in a majority for the loco focos. Four loco Con gressmen were also chosen. The Voice of Ohio. The course of Senators Allen and Tappan in disregarding the will of the People of Ohio on the question of Texas is exciting much feel ing in that State. The Ohio Stale Journal states that the question of calling a Slate Con vention of the Sons of Freedom, without dis tinction of parly, is agitated. It says : " The voice of Ohio should be heard on tho momentous questions now pressing upon us. The action of the People is called for. Their Representatives have sold them out have aban doned their duly as Watchmen and Seniinels of Liberty, and submitted to be driven before the Slave Power like cattle. They have per milled the Nullifjers of ihe South ihe enemies of the Union ihe adrocatea of a Southern Confederacy, to mould iheir views anew, and convert them inio Doughfaces. Will the peo ple of Ohio ratify the bargain ? We believe not. Then let a voice be heard from cenire to circumference which --hall make the Slave of Power, the truckling Demagogue, tremble in his shoes !" XjjWe observe that several Locofoco pa pers are lauding Mr. Polk for having refused to receive tho Empire Club as a Club at the White House. ' Since these papers uttered their fervid praises of the President's manly and independent course in this mailer, it turns out, unfortunately for ihe zealous panegyrists of the powers that be, that lie never made any such refusal as has been attributed lo him, and that ihis respectable Club, with music playing, banners flying and Captain Rynders at iheir head, marched into the President's mansion one evening at 8 o'clock, and " were greeted with a cordial welcome from the President and other distinguished gentlemen who were present." Such is the purport of a card published in the Nalional Intelligencer by Captain Rynders himself, i he Locufuco editors who have fal len into ihis sad mistake, have no recourse but to wheel short about, and swear lusiily that Mr. Polk ia the most affable, accessible, and truly democratic of all possible Presidenis ! After all, since bands of Creeks, Cherokees, Pawnees, Sacs, Foxes and Winnebagoes have heretofore been received at the White House, we see no good reason why a tribe of New York savages should be turned away, because they happen to be.,a little less honesi, civilized and gentlemanly than their aboriginal brethren. W ISrvidcrr Apollo. Polk in Unionlowia. The Unioniown Democrat gave the following account of ihe adv8nt of President Polk, as he passed through that place on his way to Wash ington City, previous to his Inauguration : Mr. Polk's appearance disappointed almost' everv bodv. From the norlraits and niciures j j i i i of him published during the campaign, tho idea had been conveyed, that he was a large, big- headed, raw-boned, and rather young looking Tennessean. Instead of this, we beheld a small man, with a Erav head, hollow eyes, and sunken cheeks, and a countenance .on which was stamped but little of the expression of gen ius or Statesmanship. While here he did his "politest," and seemed determined lo make him self agreeable to every one. He departed from town, with our sincere wish at least, that he would 60 administer the Government as to please more by his measures than by his bows. While Mr. Polk was standing on the slops of the National House going through ihe ceremo ny of shaking hands, some jtidy handed out his hat to the assembled Locofocos standing below, saying lo them in a suppressed and cautious voice, "Here don't you want to try on ihe President's hat." No sooner said than done. The hat passed from hand to hand, and from head to head, until all who wanted lo, had each taken the measure of his head and ascertained how near it was to ihe true Presidential stand ard. Wo have no doubt several of them con sider themselves quite as competent to fill the Prcsidentional Chair as Mr. Polk and perhaps i hey are. By ihe way, we trust that no ill con sequences followed to Mr. Polk from such a use of his beaver ! Tho Buzzards Roost near the Court House was a nice place on Tuesday night last very! Some of the fellows about it, who had earlier in the afternoon tried Polk's hat on, by nine o'clock P. M., had heads big enough to fill iwo hats of a much larger calibre than Polk's. The exercises of the evening were also agreeably variegated by fighls between brother Locos all owing 10 their "high spirits,' at seeing iheir party's President. There was trouble too about the "going home time." One poor fellow had just put one foot in ihe stirrup, and was trying lo throw himself over his horse, when up ho went, down he tumbled and over he rolled, a perfect John Tyler summerset. Gathering him self up again, he managed finally to mount and start. How many others were in a like pre dicament, it won't do to tell. S6r for ilio Tariff- The Richmond Inquirer is in ecstasies at the Annexation of Texas and ihe Inauguration of Polk. Huzza! he shouts, "Texas, with herfve other Slates in embryo," every one secured to Slavery is "annexed to the Union!" It an nounces, semi-officially, thai Maj. Donelson has sounded the Texans on ihe subject, and that ihey will readily accept and come in under the ori ginal House Resolutions, rejecting Mr. Walker's Bentoniah alternative. So ihis scheme, which could not by itself have been forced through the Senate, is carried by an empty juggle, and is to be fastened upon us al once. And now, Ritchie exclaims, " The agitating question of Texas now set tled, we have only one other great difficulty in our way. Of course, we mean the Tariff and upon that great question the South will never 'forbear' never flinch never desert ihe duty she owes to herself and to her country. Upon that question, we hope Mr. Polk will be true to the pledges, under which he was elected pledges, as solemnly made al the Baltimore Convention, as they were made in regard to Texas. On this subject wc renew now, at this most impor tant and accepted time, ihe pledge, and in the same spirit which was breathed in the Gth res olution of the Legislative Convention Mo raise the consecrated banner, and baitlo under it un til we succeed.' " Do you hear this, Pennsylvania ? and you, New-England? Did you ever hoar before of the pledges made at the Ballimoro Convention thai Polk would destroy ihe Tariff? We have heard a good deal from tho Annexationists of ihe great market Texas would afford for the Man ufactures of the Free Stales, but not a whisper of its aid to put down the Protection of Free Laboi and let in a deluge of European fabric.- upon Now ihe, cloven foot begins to stick out. Are you awake ? Remember, Connec ticut ! that the next Congress is to preserve or destroy the Tariff! Tribune. Petrifaction. The body of a woman in Iowa, after having been buried-five years, is found to have changed lo stone, so as lo be bro ken like marble. Birds, insects and many other things are found to have petrified in ihe same region. Misery. A fashionable pair of bonis on your goniy extremities, ' '"' Important to Magistrates. A statement was made to ihe Court of Com mon Pleas of Philadelphia county, on Thurs day last, in reference to the case of a magis trate binding a defendant over to keep the peace and compelling him in pay the costs. The ! Jdge aaid that no magisirate had a right to do anyihingof ibe kind; that he had no final judg ment in any criminal case; and in no civil case only where the amount was under live dollars nU tluriy-inree cents.

Ar. Y. Sun. The Best medicine Frequent ISath- i"? Frequent bathing, not once or twice a month, but every day, if you please, in warm or cold water, is one pf the grandest medicines in ihe world. It will make one heartier, freer from disease, than a ton of "medicine could." Read what ihe editor of ihe Boston Social Reformer says about it: "From one lo five pounds of decayed animal matter passes off daily by insensible perspira tion from a human body. Tho white dust which collects on the skin, sometimes called goose flesh, is refuse mailer of ihe 'system. Viewed with a solar microscope, it looks like a bntchor's carl of putrid meat. If the pores of the skin are closed, and imperceptible perspiration is slopped, ihis corrupt matter is thrown upon the lungs, liver, or intestines, caus ing colds, consumpiion, fevers, &c. &c. The remedy is found in the specific that will restore the system to its proper balance, upon the na tural avenues for ihe dischargo of poisonous ac cretions, and relieve the internal organs from burdensome clogs that are thrown upon them. Cold water has been proved lo be this remedy in a pre-eminent degree. It is nature's own remedy. And nothing but its simplicity, its commonness, and the almost universal hydro phobia which prevails, could have kept its vir tues so 1'otia concealed." The Texas Debt. A good deal of speculation is afloat as lo the probability of the assumption of ihe debt of Texas by the United States. The want of cor rect information as lo its actual amount, and the general belief that it exceeds $25,000,000, with (he imperfect knowledge possessed in this country of the value and extent of ihe unsold Public Lands of Texas, renders it extremely difficult lo arrive al any conclusion on the sub ject. A private letter from Washington ex presses the belief that the Federal Government will not assume the. debt of Texas, but will throw the burthen of its payment upon the new Stale, leaving lo it ail its public lands as the means of liquidation. In confirmation of this, the writer refers to the annexation joint resolu tion of Congress, which expressly disclaims any intention of assumption. It would, bo dif ficult no.doubt to pass an act for the assump tion of tho debt of ihe Stale of Texas wilhout having tacked to it propositions for the assump tion of the debts of Pennsylvania and other Stales. It is also questioned whether Texas will consent to enter ihe Union, unless the United States will shoulder its debt. Bui one step has yet been mVfl lo annexation, and lhal not a very flallering one for Texas, at least as far as '! the payment of its debt is concerned. JO3" Oliver Oldschool's" Washington let ter of the 8th instant, gives ihe following un lucky reminiscence: "Mrs. Polk complains much of ihe miserable furniiure and cheerless condition of tho While House. She should recollect that no one ever more strenuously op posed afl appropriations for furnishing ihn Pres ident's mansion ihan her husband. He at least would have no right to complain if he were compelled to live in ii as it is ihe whole four years, or furnish ii at his own expanse," A Mjiking cise of righteous retribution.

The improve merit consists in altering the stones of an or dinary grim mill, and this, it is said, will Iat as long as ihe stones. Interesting to Widows. In the Supreme Couri of Pennsylvania ads. cision of importance has been m.ulf. The ap plica'.ion was on the pari of a uidow, v!ioh.i married again, to compel from ihe ewnror of her late husband ihe payment of an annui v of two hundred dollars, left her until her son slmuM be of age, " provided however thai she remain ed his widow until that time; otherwise the an nuity to cease." The Court ordered ihe pay ment of the annuity, notwithstanding the re marriage. It was held that a provision for ihe payment of an annuity, so long as ihe widow should continue unmarried would be good, ihe provision operaiing only as a limitation upon the devise ; but in the case before the Court there was a limitation already provided, to wit, the coming of age of the son, and the other clause, directing ihe annuity to cease on the marriage of ihe widow, could be regarded only as a condition subsequent and a restriction upon marriage, which the law disfavors as opposed to the first law of our nature and to the inter ests of society. " Harry," said we a few days since, m a bachelor acquaintance, " why is it thai you haie never married V " I never saw," he replied, " but one vr.;n that I fancied sufficiently lo marry.
