THE MAILS. The Irregularities in the mails,
which we have before complained of, increase
rather than diminish. For the last week, there
has not been day on which all our southern
papers have been received by the regular course
of the mail They come to us, from one to
three days after they are due, and from all
points of the compass; sometimes by the Bos-
ton, sometimes by the Providence, sometimes
by the Albany, and at other times by the Keene,
mail. We hear great complaint also made of
the irregularity with which letters are received,
and frequently of their total failure. The inju-
rious effect of such state of things upon the
business transactions of the community must
be incalculabe. We must however, make the
best of it for three or four years longer, when
it is to be hoped, that REFORM" in fact, and
in the legitimate sense of the word, may take
place.

EDIToRIAL CHANGE. William Lincoln, ESQ,
has announced in the last Egis, the close of
his editorial connexion which has subss:ed for
the last four years with that paper. To one
who has devoted himself with SO much zeal and
industry to the discharge of his duties, re-
lease from his labors must be a great relief
Under his care the Egis has acquired char
acter, which his successor will find it no light
task to sustain. The moderate and temperate
course which he has maintained, even in his
controversial articles, and the general absence
from his columns of personality, or any thing
of scurrillous nature, affords an example
which some of the fraternity might do well to
initiate. Although there have sometimes been
collisions of opinions between us, nothing has
occurred to diminish our respect for his person
al character, and in parting with him editorial
Ly, he has our best wishes for his future welfare,
hoping that the time which he thus acquires to
himself may be more pro6tably, and more pleas
antly, spent; that 1t will be, more usefully, we
can hardly hope.

A FABLE. Once on time a mastiff was
travelling on the highway, and often as he pass
ed along fell in with others of his species, with
whom he associated on the most friendly terms
II so happened that little cur dog in crossing
the path, noticed the satisfaction which they
took in each others company, and thrust him
self in among them. He was at first suffered
to pass quietly along with them, but soon find
ing that he was regarded as of no consequence,
and having high opinion of his own impor-
lance, he undertook to be familiar with them.
Still, unable to direct their attention particu-
arly to himself, he next began barking at them,
which was succeeded by biting their heels, and
jumping up and swapping at their noses A,
length, the old mastiff not choosing any longer
to be troubled with his imper,nence, poked
him over into the dirt, and, clapping one paw
on him, held him there, till he had inflicted on
him punishment of that peculiar character
which, without doing any other injury, was the
most disgraceful that could have been inflicted
and, more than any other, proved to the cur the
utter contempt in which he was held
Moral. There are some persons so rrove
ling, that their impertnence is best met by q
silent contempt, and, if that is ever deviatet
| from, it should be done in such a manner tina
the individual can attach no consequence (,
himself from the notice that is taken Of him.

HAIL Storm. On the afternoon of the 22d
ult. Burlington, (Vt) and the vicinity, was
visited by sudden storm which il is feared has
done much injury to the buildings and crops
In Burlington, but little glass was broken; but
in Williston, miles distant, the hail stones
were as large as two ounce balls, beating down
corn and all garden plants. Every house had
more or less glass broken, and the Eagle Hotel
lost $40 lights. A gentleman who was over
taken or 3 miles north of Vergennes, informs
the editor of the Burlington Free Press that he
saw some hail stones 3 inches in diameter and
the ground was covered to the depth of 4 or s
inches Geese, hogs, &c, were killed out
right, and the crops within its range uprooted
and levelled as with the bosom Of destruction. +"

~ We commence the publication this week
of two series of interesting articles, one on the
subject of the Lyceum, and the other on the
Cotton Manufacture. We believe that strong,
and we hope a successful, effort will soon be
made for the establishment of Lyceum, or
something of similar character, in this town.
1t would be a most valuable auxiliary TO our
excellent schools.
