Last Thursday night we attended the tabei niacle meeting near Blackstone, and listened to a very, instructive ser mon from Rev. Rhodes.

2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue to send until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and order a discontinuance. 4 If subscribers move to other places without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former direction, they are held responsible.

5 The courts have decided that re -fusing to take papers from the office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facia evidence of fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance they are bound to give notice to the pnblish-er at the end of their time. If they do not wish to continue taking it otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it and the subscriber will be held respon sible until an express notice with payment of all arrears is sent to the publisher. The last postal decision is to the effect that publishers of newspapers, can under the law arrest any man for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it.

Under this law it is a dangerous trick for a man to allow his sub scription to run on from six months to a year and half unpaid and then tell the postmaster to mark it "refused," or send the editor a postal card to discontinue the paper.
