and the head-boards labelled, So that the reader
las no difficulty in finding any Journal he may
wsi,. Slips t.om seventy-six Offices are regularly
received, that is, So far as Mr. Kendall's express
mail can be called regular. We don't get our pa
pers the day they arrive, because they are not as
sorted until the next day. This little circum-
stance, however, is of minor Importance, AS The
clerks in the Post office have hard time of it,
and they must have their dinHers like other peo-
