NEWSPAPER LAWS. We would call the special attention of Post Masters and our subscribers to the following synopsis of the Newspaper laws: 1. A Postmaster is required to give no. tice by letter, (returning a paper does not answer the law,) when a subscriber does not take his paper out of the office, and state the reasons for its not being taken, and neglect to do so makes the Postmas ter responsible to the publishers for the payment. 2. Any person who takes a paper from the Post-Office, whether directed to his name or another, or whether he has acribed or n ,t, is responsible for the pay. 3. If a person orders his paper tinued he must pay all arrearages; or i' e publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, ar.d collect the whole amount, whether it be taken from the of fice or not. There can be no legal dis continuance until the payment is made. 4. If subscribers order the paper to be stopped at a certain time, and the Jisher continues to send it, the subscriber is bound to pay for it if he takes it out of the Post-Office. The law proceeds upon the ground that a man must pay for what he uses. 5. The courts have decided that refu sing to take newspapers and periodicals from the Post-office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for, is prima facia evidence of intentional fraud. rROFESSIONAL CARDS. ,M.

McDonald A Co., Drumriate * Gen - AgenU, San Francisco,Cal., and U Commerce St., N.Y- MILLIONS Bear Testimony to their Wonderful Ourntive I£fleets. Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy Drink, Made of Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Liquors, doc tored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste, called “ Tonics,” ,l Appetizers,” “ Restorers,” &c., that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true Medicine, made from the Native Roots and Herbs of California, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants. They are tho GREAT 11LOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Renovator and of the System, carry ing off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy condition. No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain lon* unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the potut of repair. They arc a Gentle Purgative us well ns a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Conges tion or Inflammation of tho Liver, and of all tho Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, whether in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at tho turn of life, these Tonic Bit ters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Klicn irnitintii aiul Gout, Dyspepsia or In digestion, Bilious, Kemittent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Bnch Diseases are caustd by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Digestive Organs. DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, Pain in tho Shoulders, Coughs, Tight ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Month, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms are the off springs of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled efficacy in cleansing the blood of all im purities, and imparting new life and vigor to the whole system. FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions,Tetter, Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-Worms, ScaM Head, Sore Eves,Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of what ever name or nature, are literally dug up and car ried out of the system in a short time by the use of these Bittern One bottle in such cases will con vince the most incredulous of their curative effect. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions or Sores ; cleanse it whoii you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins: cleanse it when it is foul.and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the ay stem will follow. PIN, TAPE, and other WORMS, urking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed ar i removed.

I now oßer It lo> the friends of the church at $5 per copy, and will .110 ™ $1.50 per copy commission, to any who will under'ake its sale ; or I will sell it to clubs of five or more at $3.50 per copy. Every Methodist family in the South cm States should have a copy of this beautiful and hallowed picture. Every official board in every station in the church ought (in my humble judgment) to pocurea copy, frame it handsomely, nml hang it in the parsonage. I would say the same of every Sabbath-school con nected with the church; all should have a copy neatly framed and hang it in their school-room. Jet us remember and re vere the memory of the great and good men of the church, now dead, and whoso likenesses are on this picture. If mv friends will take hold and assist mo to seli a large number of copies of this charming and attractive picture, they will coifer a great and lasting favor which will be heartily reciprocated in any and •very way that I may be able to return their kindaess. I have a rcecnt letter from Bishop Kavanaugh—he says, •• If y OO can afford to sell your beautiful picture on the term* proposed, and make money by it you will do a good thing for yourself, the church, and the public. Reducing so fine a pic ture to so low a price ought to put it in. every Methodist family who are in cir cumstances to live in any tolerable com fort.” At the time tbe war broke on I, I had in the hands of a number of my friends in> the Southern States, books and engra vings amounting in value, to upwarda of fourteen thousand dollar* ($14,000) since the close of tbe war I have only realized of that large amount, al«>at Those of my friend* who still have any Cion of these books and engravings on I, will please advise me of the fact, at an early day. My address is Post Of fice Bex 3,328, New York. William T. Smithson. May 24-11.
