It was the general verdict of those in attendance that they had never spent a more enjoyable St. Patrick's day. M. Renig, the popular Helena whole- sale and retail grdeeryman, called Saturday to renew his subscription to the Pit)s/e.e. He -says business with the, outside camps is picking up rapidly, and expects the volume of trade to be greater this season than it has been for a number of years. One camp with which Mr. Renig is partionlarly impressed is that in Lincoln gulch. He says there are 25 or 30 men at work in that district, and that for the past tive years they have washed out from $15,000 to $20,0(1) worth of gold each season. The gold is (starve, and is found in nuggets ranging in value from 25 cents to $2.50. Quite a large amount of ground has been opened up in Lincoln and tributary gulches, and if water can be had in sufficient quan- tities the coming summer will witness a greatly increased output of gold dust from that section. Mr. Renig has a fine orange and lemon orchard in California. and this year eat - wets to be able to supply him customer* with those fruits fresh from the trees.

Altogether, the reception of the Salva- tion Army was shameful and di - graceful and will ever remain a blet nit the name tif the town. - - Newspaper Subscription Laws. Few readers of papers fully and clearly understand the laws ning subscriptions. The decisions of he United States court oet this subject a el 1. Subscribers who do not give x- pressootice to the contrary are on- sidered as wishing to renew thei sub- scriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discenty tinuance of their periodicals, the publisher may continue , to send theni until all arrearages are paid. 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post, office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them discos: , tinned. • 4. If subscribers move 'to other places without in formingthe publisher, and the papers are sent to the former address, they are held responsible.. 5. The courts have decided that ret fusing to take periodicals front , the office, or removing and leaving- thein uncalled for, is prima facie evidence of intentional fraud. . 6. If subscribers pay itt advance they are bound to give notke at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it: otherwise the pub- lisher is . authorized to send it. and the subscriber will be responsible until an express notice, with payment of art arrea rages, is sent to the publisher. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest atty7 one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for sometime unpaid, mid then orders it discontinued, or orders the postmaster to mark it - \refused. - and have a postal card sent notifying the publishers, leaves himself liable to arrest and fine, the same as fortheft.
