We would remind our subscribers that the new law regarding postage on newspapers comes into force on the first of the next month. The Jaw making it compulsory, 0 on pub- to! prépay all! postage' on 'newspapers mailed by, them comes. dnto force on the first day of October, after whichwabscribers will receive plistheir papers. postage free, the publishers baving to pay the postage when they mail the papers, Ths will add Jargely to the experse of spublicatign and will reduce the price «of papers:to subscribers at' least 20 per cent. For the past two years we have given the OBSERVER for $1 per Anpum, which with the postage le $1, 20 to subscribers. We still to give it for 81 and the postage will be free, as we will havo 40 pay all postages. Of course such an arrangement can only be predi- cated on strictly oash principled, a moment's consideration Will con- wince any one that only on the strietest eash principles could it, be "possible to publish such a paper as the OBsErvER at the trifling sum of $1 and pay postage off that. Now that one more issue of this paper closes the old system of post-- age wo have one or two hints to offer %o-our scbscribers ; these hints are notin" the shape of " duns" --the OBSERVER 18 notused to that kind af thing--but, they are friendly hints forged upon us by the change in the postal' law, suggestions in fact, which may not be required by a ma- jority of our subscribers ; for a mo-: ment's ponsideration will convinoe anyono that the requests we are about to wake are imperative upon ug from the new regime coming into force. Firstly, then, we ask all sub- seribers indebted to us to pay up avithont fail before the close of the present month. Secondly, that all subscribers who have not paid their subscriptions ir in advance will have the goodness to do so before the close of the'présent 'month. No reason- ble man will suppose for a momeut fiat thé publishers ean possibly afford: ta;send collectors to collect the. hundreds of small amounts scat- tered dhrongh the area of over a couple of hundred miles; but all registered letters containing money #nd'addressed to this office will be at our risk. Our subscribers ars all reasonable, thinking men a nd will, we hope, require no further aetice of this, to us, most important matter. 8 a matter of course whatever is not"so paid will have to be placed in other hards for collection. ---- Further Slaughter of the Innocents « 7Phé last week was a season of bitter lamentation in the Grit ranks, political disease and death have heen playing bavoe amongst the " elevators of the standard," the &gome-along- Johu" creed has becn tbe ruin of them.

The namber is legion of those 'Who tiave burned thejr fingers in railway 'stocks. Any one road in the coun- try might be brought forward in support of this statement, but we need not go from home--take the W.&P, P.-R. for instance, have not the share holders fin this concern beon twisted, screwed and bitten in avery possible manner until finally the first batch of share-holders came in a body out at the small end of the horn bringing out only ten per cent of the amount with which they eptered, the present owners buying up the shares at that figure. Again the screw is getting another twist and dear knows what .he present shares may be worth after this -additienal -squeccze, but executions amounting t6 the hand scme figure of $112,000 ace now in the hands of the Sheriff and must be taken out of the road if itis worth the amount ; and here, again the shares will get another such 'trir- ming as will kikely finish them ; the celebrated hundred and twelve thou- sand dollar claim will likely gobble the whole thing up, and the aly isfacti the shareholders willl bave will bo that of knowing that The town of Whitby owne $10,000 stock, that too as a matter of course will go by the board and this will mako $66,000 which 'the Town of Whitby bas paid towardsaa evter- prise from which as a corporation it has received little if any advan- tage. Some anxicty must naturally be felt as to the effect of this move, how these executions are likely to affect the future working of the road. That the $112,000 will sell the: con- cern cannot be doubted and all that the public need care now is as to the hands into which the road may fall as the publici are ily concerned in this. The interests of our County town are identical with those of the County at large; and while she held $10,000 stock in the road if she had not a controlling she had a modifying voice in the man- agement of the affairs of the com- the disqualifying 1s perfectly fright- fal.

This has struck eon-' sternation into the camp. This con- verting thepul pit iit a (lchoal S10] oat scandal is fi0 better than it is called, Doutre, the President' ot the In: stitut Canadien and advocate who has carried through the Guibord , case, was mercilessly slandered by Le wien Nouveau Monde for defending the right of this case; he has turned upon the assailant with telling One Crevier sued Le Monde law denfanding that the name or names of publishers he registered with the Clerk of the Crown, and re- quires that the names of the propri- etors and their place of publication be published in _ the paper. The omission to istor the . names of publishers and editors claims a fine ot $20 for each day thata pewspaper is published before the registration' is made, and a fine of $80 for each day the papet is 'published without tho publishers' name and: place' of ation beng published "in said Pape: ; the fines amounting to $100 aday. Le Nouveau Monde was eés- tablished in July, 1872, waking in all some 960 lawful days, since its commencement; this multiplied by 100 will make $96, 000. One half of this fine goes to the Crown and. the other halt to the party who enters the suit. Doutre is conducting the case for the prosecutor. . Alphonso Desjardins, M.'P., is the editor; he is the party sued ; he is.a lawyer, and can offer no apology. for the neglect, and Doutre will take care that he does not get out of it. The total costs'against those who opposed to the bnrial of the Guibord remains amount 10 over $20,000, and if resistance is continued: 'the-amount may be doubled ere all is-over: The above are only some of the first fruits of the Guibord case, what the full harvest may be no oie knows.

A monster calling himselt Harrison Andrews aged 50 years a resident of the the town ot Venice State of New York, about 6 p. m. on the 13th inst., went to the cham. ber of bis son aged 19 years, who was asleep and dealt him two murderous blows with a hatchet. The last crushed the skull, and it thought injured the brain, He then aroused his daughters, and shot Mary through the abdomen with a revolver, inflicting a severe but not necesssarily fatal wound. The two girls escaped from the house and aroused the neighbors. Andrews then poured a quantity ot oil on the carpet and set fire to the house, afterwards committing suicide by shooting himself through the head, The son is not expected to recover. No motive for the deed is known. The deceased had a violent and ungovernable temper. TRAVELING. D.
