The Postage Koform. The cheap postage bill has passed the House of Representatives. We have not seen a copy of the bill, but learn that the rate has been fixed uniformly at three cents. "We notice one very good feature in our opinion, in this postage reform offer ed by Hon. A. G. Vatkins of Tennessee it is as folio ws: Provided, That where newspapers are sent through the mail a diiitanre less than fifty miles, no postage shall be charged thereon. And pron'ded,J "urther, That all laws requiring the Postmaster General to diminish or discontinue the service upon any mail route now estab lished, where the revenue fails to pay a a certain of the expenditures, be, and the same are hereby, repealed. Since the alove was written, we have received the following synopsis of the .bill: N 1. After the 20th June next, the post age on every letter, weighing less than nn ounce, to be three cents, and the same for each additional half ounce. 2. Postage on newspapers, magazines, periodicals imd printed books weighing two ounces, one cent, and one cent for each additional ounce. Boohs not weigh ing over thirty ounces are considered , mailable matter. Newspapers circulated within the State or Territory where 2rintcd, pay half such postage, but when mailed within the county or within thir ty miles of the plare where printed, and tent to subscriber, they circulate free of jxistagc. Postage on magazines, Sec, when j)re jjaid, reduced one half. ' 3. A coin -of three cents in value is to be prepared, which shall be a legal ten Tcrm sums under thirty cents. 4. Postmasters are to be furnished with three ceut sfamjw for sale. Per sons forging stamps to be subject to a penalty of -$500, or inrprisoumcnt live years. 5. A million and a half of dollars ap propriated to meet anytemporary reduc tion which may occur. 6. Lists of letters to be published in the paper having the largest circulation. If the publisher refuses to publish them, lie shall be deprived of a free exchange, and other benefits of this act. 7. The Postmaster (icneral is to es tablish Post routes and offices of deposit and deli veryvaud appoint carriers in cities to deliver letters, for not exceeding two cents. AVo learn from the Carolina "Watch man, that Gov. Morehend was at Salis bury ou a visit last week, (it being court week,) engaged in acquiring the right of way ..for tw. North Carolina Rail Road, and in transacting other, business iu rela tion to the corporation. The Governor spoke chccringly of the success of this trrcuT measure, and stated that the esti- maier were so far completed as to render it certain that the capital authorized by the charter will be suflicient to finish the work- The contracts will be let out a bout the first of April. The "Washington City papers im uomicc the death of the Hon. David S. Ka'dYnan, member of Congress from Teias. He was in apparently good health when he left the House of Repre sentatives for his boarding house. "While standing on the pavement there, talking to a friend he was suddenly seized with a pain in the side, went up to his lodgings in a tew minutes was a corpse, His disease was pronounced an affection of the hear t. Valuable Washing Recipe. Add 'otic gill of alcohol to a gallon of soft soap and mix Ultimately. Apply the soap to the clothes in the usual way and let them soak some hours in the suds; then rinse out with very little labor of rubbing. We obtained the above from Mr. Cornish, steward of the In sane Hospital at Hertford, who says there j is uot an inmate ot the establishment but what has reason enough to appreciate its value. Clerical Wit. An old gentlemau of eighty-four, having taken to the altar a young damsel of about sixteen, the clergyman said to him "The font' is at the other end of the church." "What do 1 want with the font?" said the old gentleman. '()! I beg your pardon," said the clerical wit. "1 thought yon had brought tbis child here to be chiisteued." Oddities. The lady who was forty years old takihg of the last census, reports her at the self as tlurty-seven this year. We saw a man out iu the rain yesterday without his umfrella. He said the only one he had was new, and be wasn't a going to soil it by getting it wet! A prudent man! Peter says it's all folly to tell a man that he must noterehis debts, when the por fellow is doing all he can to contract them. A client once burst iuto a flood of tears, after he had heard the statement of his couu ael, exclaimiug: did uot think I had suf fered half so much till 1 heard it this day." A wise mail, as well as witty, was Theo dore Hook, when he told the alderman who had already surfeited him, and yet pressed liiiu to partake of still another course. "I thauk you; but if it's the same to you, I'll take the rest in money." Punch proposes the erection of a statue to the model woman that is, a woman a bout to travel with but ouu bandbov. It is said that Raruum is iu full chase of a chap who helped his own wife at the diuuer table, in preference to another lady. Slrriuals at U. S. Soljnsorfs jotci, UXCOLSTO, X. C.
