D,cisio-s OV THE COURTS.-Any person who takes a paper regularly from the Post Office-whether directed to his name or ano ther, or whether he subscribed or not-is re sponsible for the pay. If a person orders his paper discontinued he must pay all arrear ages, or the.publisher may continue to send it until payment is made, and collect the whole amount, whether it is taken from the office or not. The Courts have decided that refusing to take newspapers and periodicals from the Post Office, or removing and leav ing them uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. .- 4-tf. THE NEw POsTAL LAw.-After the 1st of January. 1875, editors have to prepay all the papers from their office. Of course no pub lisher can afford to pay postagefor a subscri ber in arrears.

It is said that he had had a fight on the day before with another colored man. FRoM FLORIDA .-Qn Saturday last we were made the recipient of a box of oranges and lemons growvn in Floti da, by Mr. James Peckham, an old ex-eitizen of Columbia, who moved to the land of flowers a few years since.

Pifer's Academy propose to give an entertainment on Monday Evening, Dec. 26th, at Temperance Hall, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the purchase of a Piano for 1 the use of the School. The object is so laudable, and the young ladies we know to be so well versed in the art of pleas- 1 ing, that we aRk for them a full house, feeling confident that all who help in ] this good cause will be well paid. CHRISTMAS IS COMING. In preparation for that event a nice I assortment of articles suitable for pres- A ents have already been received at the t HERALD Book Store.

N 7 DISTRESSING CASUALTY.-On Thurs day last, while descending the stairs leading from the new Masonic Hall, a Mr. W. C. Johnson, an old and res pected citizen of this place, lost his f footing, and was precipitated to the f bottom, when striking against a post his k left thigh was broken. At his age this d is a most deplorable accident, as it is U well known that broken bones do not a knit as well or as quickly with persons h dvanced in years as in younger per sons. Our sympathies are extended to l~ im, with the earnest hope that he may ' ot be long confined. c r, DON'T FORGE~T US.-Hundreds of peo- a pe with pockets full of money will visit li own the next ten days.

APPOINTMENT.-Am6ng the list of 5 appointments made by Gov. Chamber lain last week is that of Capt. Jesse C. I Smith vice D. R. Phifer, rejected, to the 6 important office of County Treasurer. We believe this appointment will give ~ general satisfaction to the community, C his record in the Clerk's office-a posi tion which he has held for the last two I ears-entitling him to the confidence t of the public. We tender him our con gratulations and hope that the relation t between him and the taxpayers will be I as satisfactory as that experienced in I the Clerk's office. He will enter upon ' the discharge of his duties immediately. t The appointments in Lexington of S. Corley, Treasurer, and C. E. Leaphart, ( Auditor, gives satisfaction in that coun-. 2 TRYING EXPERIENCE.-The closing I days of last week were the most trying of all the days in the year, and such ' another experience it wvas confidently s hoped would not fall to our lot again.| But we were disappointed. On the : first occasion we got hold of a piece of :1 beef which was so tough that the con-i elusion arrived at was, that the animal from which it was taken was one of thet pair (and it was hoped the last one) which preceded old Father Noah into the Ark. It defied all efforts to cook it t done or tender; the longer the trial the< harder it became, and the more it twist- t ed and shrank away,. from the bones. Then the attempt to eat it--ugh! Threei days cooking and as many efforts to eat, I and still it remained the same hard, impact, stubborn stuff. At length it < was given over in despair, and the con soling thought indulged, that the ani mal was out of the way and that it was I the last of the ancients. After living on soups and other light food a few days: to recover strength of jaw, we were led< to seek more beef, And we got it-a rare looking, broad steak, it looked all 1 right, but alas, too late it was found to be a part of the other cow of the Deluge Two AND A HALF CENTs.-The I lian Girl of Perry & Slawson still hol indisputed sway over the hearts of t rreat smoking public; if anything t udmiration increases and will contin ;o increase, for her announcements a dways of such a character as to ai atisfaction. The confidence gained he beginning of her career has nev >een misplaced, for her watchword Excelsior. One of the most successf noves made was in offering an exc( ent cigar at two and a half cents I he box, as it enabled the inveterates >uy boxes instead of bunches as befor dessrs. Perry & Slawson, the propri ors, have certainly taken that tide ts flood which carries men to fortun .nd they deserve the eminent succe! .ttained. All orders sent them will i iromptly and satisfactorily filled, f< ny brand or price of cigar. tf.

CEMISTMAS IS COMING!-In fact, i Imost come, and how glad the littl )lks are. How full of antidipation >r the good Santa Claus, the old tim -iend or children, will be aroun nocking at the doors, or rather slidin own the chimneys, loaded with ever naginable kind of present. How muc re they to be envied. The amount < appiness in store for them is incalcuk le, and there isn't an old fogy in th md who would not like to be a chil gain, just for one night. Enjoy bildren, be happy while you may, bt amember in your happiness-you wih re so fortunate-that there are man ttle children who will not be so highi vored as you, because they have n thers or mothers to speak to Sant aus and tell him what their little one ost need, or like the best. Don't b ~lish, and as far as possible share wit ec less fortunate ones. We recolle< earing one little fellow, years and year go, say, with a tear in his eye, "Chrisl ias is all over now."
