frequently happens to many of the packets and the
consequence 49, they miss the rular mall and lie in

later before they reach subscribers
lhese Irregularities were borne, by US, in conse
quence OF the representations o? the friends of the

he was "new bsgnnner;" but since he has become
ian old hand, he has got worse the packets which
are sent back from Fayetteville be put on the lne

return to this place!
We are now satisfied of the unftness of tho incum

arc not the only which the Boston Noun

newspaper and letter packages have reached this Of

inform US that the Intehgeneer frequently docs not
reach them for three weeks; after which time thew
will be received three numbers at once and that let

Can such s:ate of things be borne an, longer -
Why will Post Master desire to stay in an Office by

moralize for his removal The good people of Evans
