Clerks of the Superior Courts,
And other gentlemen holding subscriptions

requested to return the same by the 1st of Jan-

them, in the mean time, to such persons as will
ke likely to patroni/.e the work, who have not
had an opportunity of doing so already. The
price to non-subscribers will be $10. Very few,
however, more than those subscribed for, will
be printed. To remove any objection that
may be urged against subscribing, the publish

not correctly drawn, finished in the best man

POST-OFFICE, CHARLOl^ E,
Jaii*iary fi, 1827.
Those indebted to this (»flice, either foj
Letter or Newspaper Postage, *jrc request
ed to call, without delay, and settle their res
pective dues. Such as do not attend to this no
tice, must not expect any farther credit. In no
case, hereafter, will a letter be delivered until
the postage is paid, except to such as have re
gular accounts; and accounts will be kept with
those only who live within a convenient, dis
tance, are known to be punctual, and w'.iose
postages are sufficiently large to warrant the
trouble.
Those who receive newspapers through this
Office, and neglect to call ami pay the postage
due on them, must expect to have their ])apers
retained hereafter, unless the postage is paid
quarterly in advance.. In respect to such, the
sidjjoined instruction from the General Post-Uf-
fice will be strictly adhered to :—
“ Experience has proved how inattentive
many people are to the payment of such small
debts as arise from trusting the postages of
newspapers; you are therefore not to give
credit. To save in future any trouble or incon
venience, it will be proper for you to require
the subscribers who receive papers through
your office, at the commencement of every
quarter, to p.ay the amount of one quarter’s
sub.scription in advance, and witliout such pay
ment in advance, not to deliver them any news-
])apers, even though they tender you the mo
ney for them singly.”

Salt may be made in New-York>
Pennsylvania, Virginia, and the western
states, amply sutRcient to meet the wlioio
consumption of the country, and will—
so soon as the different canals are com
pleted. The price at the works is about
10 cents per bushel. By the canal, salt
will be furnished on the sea-board and
sold so low, that a small duty upon tho
imported articles will amount to a pro

Some thick-and-thin philanthropist
has disoovered that if a person rises at
6 o’clock in the morning instead of S, up
to the age of 43, he will gain 8 hours a
day for ten years, being equivalent to
an addition of 10 years to his life. Lord
Chesterfield made a similar discovery,
that a man would add 2 years to his life
by ceasing to take snulf! Uy and bye,
we shall hear of half a dozen years be
ing gained by some other abandonment
of personal gratifications. After alF,
is lite so very desirable as to be worth
these sacrifices of snuff and snoring ?
