A strange phenomenon is noticed in connection with the natnral gas supply at Montpelier, Ind. Six hour* out of every twenty-four the ga* run* down to a minimum, and six hour* daily it reaclios a maximum. While at low ebb the valve* are open wide to getl a sufficiency, and when at the highest point the smallest turn of the key will supply the demand. The movement is coustant with the ocean tide*, but whether or not the same influence* are the cause is a matter of conjecture with the Montpelier people- __ If you paste a printed slip on a postal card the government will charge the receiver letter postage; if the sains matter is printed directly on the card nothiugextra is demanded. The sathe dip,which, if pasted ou a postal earn, would be charged extra for, may (>c put into an ui.aealed envelope aud it will then goat printed matter rates, or tne whole paper from which the clipping is taken may be sent, containing the article market!, at a much less rate than the Government would charge tor the «ame article attached to the card. That is the Government would rather carry tourjounces for a cent than the four-fifths of an ounce for the same money.

D.d any place ever thrive that could not even make bread? We halve , ore thing however, a newspaper; but our j iieople think it* gaa can build a mill, erect ; a now church, and keep up n drat class i school without any assistance. If 1 am not | mistaken, the "dauies with dollars” are the i men to do these things that cannot help puti ting more money back into their pockets i than they will be required to put out in #ny ] of these enterprises.
