We do not wish to open any more such accounts,—or indeed am/ accounts The process of collection i» too liiricult, and we have to pay cash for every thing we u^e or sell in these times. | Oct. -2, 1861. • Ubituaby Notices.—We have heretofore given notice, i repeatedly, that we charge for obituary notices of un- ; reasonable length, and for resoKuions of re>peei: be- . v'ause that kind of reading, we have much occasion to know, it not often more agreeable to readers than to editors of papers. As it generally happens, however, that after charging and paying postage on the account for- i warded, we never get p.aid, we now give notice that we i will insert nothing of the sort hereafter unless accom- j panied by (he cash. {.\lway«i excepting in the ca-e of deceased volunteers, when we require no J'ay.) IJear in mind, therefore, that we will insert obituary notioe^ and resolutions, not exceeding 70 word«, gratis For alt "ver 70 words, one cent a word, which mu«it be paivl be tore the notice will be put in type.

No ' gambler, he cuinc to Wiesbaden inteii ling to ' spend a month here merely for the s;ikc ol i-n' ! nit life and fresh air, and his puise contained only SOdOf. He beg;in to j.biy to kill time, nothing el.se, and his “luck” h;is not ab;indoned him a single time. He has not—being an 'xtremely i well-bred gentleman—thought proper t i turn his back on hei while she w:is courtesying :*"d sinif- ; ing at liim. lie has an odd wtiim. He insists j upon being paid in double gold Frederics: he rc- ! fuses to accept bank notes. Every day he si-nds [ the greater part of his e:irnings to Prussia and Headen, .John .Manning Jr., keeps by him onlj' 5n,()()i>l to meet any accident. I can hear attentive and mouth-watering gamblers ask in chorus, what is his system? I rej'ly. he has a .system without rhyme or re;;son. 1 don t believe he has one; he is nothing but a liieky gambler, that's all. During tiie day he hires a man to note the lucky ronj>s. He only phiys the ■ three last faiffrs of the evening. A confused I manner, followed by a holy siK-nce, :n.nounces ! his arrival. An opera audience is not more at- ! tentive, nor more prone to admiration, when 'ramberlick gets ready to sing his “ut fiat, i The 15aron lays down (i.O'Mif. on a color and says, i “Seven florins to the mass!” After the seven , florins have been lost, he s;iys, “TwenJy-lhrcc florins to the iiihss” IIc ehatuies the color on , which he places his stake, and s;iys. in the same' jdilcirmatie voice: “All to the mass.
