We hear complaints from both North and

Subscribers to whom they are directed How to
account for this failure VIC cannot conceive. The
papers are regularly and carefully directed and
punctually delivered into the charge OF the Post
Office at this placc.--so far cur duty is perform
ed, which we think will free us from any cen
sure. If the zeal of certain Post Master, for
the public interest, sufficiently strong to l'-
duce him to employ assistants competent to the
duties required of them, and not take into his
Office children, who can scarcely read the super

In the last number of the United States
Literary Gazette, there is a communication
giving delincation of the German charac-
ter and of the customs of that people. The
writer saws, that one of the most striking
features in the German character is quiet
and eguablc disposition, accompanied how
ever, by mechanical self-accommodation,
to the various and connecting circumstances
OF daily occurrence. Political, commercial
and literary vicissitudes, produce no sensible
fluctuations on the surface of their charac-
ter and where these are peWerless, we can
not expect that such ordinary events as mar
riages and deaths should very strongly affect
the feelings. 1t is not uncommon to conclude
pathetic account of the decease OF hus-
band or father, by a notice that BUSINESS Is
continued as usual, and request tor furthef
favours from customers. The following IS
no unfair specimen Of the usual style OF these
advertisements:
/ Godfrey Zimmerman, Musical instru-
ment maker, departed this lite last evening,
at seven minutes past eight, in the SD year
of his age. His disorder was gout IN the
stomach. with which he had been afflicted
for more than FIVE months, and which he
bore with truly christian fortitude. HIS
mourning widow and orphan children, op-
nressed with the weight of their loss, beg
tor the sympathy of their friends, whom
they inform, that the business of the deceas-
ed will be conducted as usual, and request
the continuance of that kind patronage,
which has ever been thankfully received
: The new crop of Oats, (says the Green's
burgh Gazette, has been so abundant, that
