A Canandaigua, N. Y. paper states that
such quantities of rsin have fallen in that
part of the country for four weeks past,
that the prospect, which few weeks ago
was very flattering, of an abundant crop of
wheat, is entirely cut off. News from all
parts of the State of Newly York, it is said,
is very discouraging to the husbandmen. In
some instances fields of wheat will not be
harvested at all, and in others not more than
one third or half a crop viii be realized. In
some places the roads are rendered almost
impossible by the rain.

MAIL ROUTES. In the proposals just is
sued by the Postmaster General for carrying
mails in this. State, we observe the following
neac route, viz. From Boston, Through
Charlestown, West Cambridge, Lexington,
Concord, Stow, and Bolton, to this town,
and thence through Leominster, Westmin-
ster, Templeton, Phillipston, Athol, Orange,
Warwick, Winchester, N. H., and Hinsdale,
to Brattleboro', three times week, Monday,
Wednesday, and Friday, the same days, and
to leave Boston at the same hours, that the
present Brattleboro' line does, which goes
through Waltham, Lincoln, &C., to this
town. We are inclined to think there must
be some mistake in the advertisement Of The
Postmaster General, and that the mail route,
as at present carried, is the one intended.

Not so fast, Mr.. Advocate, the Lancaster

an assertion. Though the Jackson man to
whom you allude was closely followed by
the sheriff, and in fact came back and still
remains in his custody, yet he never ran
away, nor intended to. And then as to Mr..

but inaugural speeches are seldom ndica-
i've OF the character of the administrator
which IS to follow. President Jefferson's
speech, when he entered upon office, was of
a soothing and conciliatory character-but
were the measures that followed?
Taking Gen. Jackson's speech, then, at
the worst, we do not regard it with fear and
trembling. We believe Jackson totally

we never had an apprehension that the safe
