The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the one who allows his subscrip tion to run along for some time un paid, and then orders it discontinu ed, or orders the postmaster to mark it "refused" and have a postal card sent notifying the publisher, leaves himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as for theft. niTow-nr 1 1'' aauUiani, men Bnti tne j ym 41ttc.
