Persons out of town who desire adTertisemonts in- ■arted in the Observer, and persons in town with whom wa have not regular accounts, will please send with the advertii^ement as much mon«y as they wish to invest in ^ it, according to our advertising terms ob the first page. We do not wish to onon any more such accounts.—or indeed any accounts. The process of collection is too ' difficult, and we have to pay oaih for every thing we Nse or sell in these times. Oct. 2, 1861. Obitcart Notioh.—We have heretofore given notice, repeatedly, that we charge for obituary notices of un reasonable length, and for resolutions of respect; be cause that kind of reading, wo have much occasion to know, is not often more agreeable to readers than to editors of papers. A? it generally happens, however, that after charging and paying postage on the account for warded, we never get paid, we now give notice that we will insert nothing of the sort hereafter unless accom panied by the cash. (Always excepting in the case of deceased volunteers, when we require no pay.) Bear iu miud, therefore, that we will insert obituary notices and resoluti'ons, not exceeding 70 words, gratis For all over 70 words, one cent a word, which must be paid be fore the notice will be put in type. j; U IU SmOAPL HISI'ELL\.\EUIS WORKS.
