We earnestly recommend to the atten.
ton of our readers the articles in to-day's
paper on the subject Of the New Constitu.
ton. Remember the election is on
Tuesday the l7th day Of June.

GWe are again at our post, after an
absence of some two weeks; during which
time we paid flying visit to the cities Of
Wheeling, GAINESVILLE. Newark. Columbus
and Cincinnati, and thence, up the river,
home. In all these places we marked tho
evidences of prosperity which, on every
hand, are present TO the view.
Appearances indicated that the wheat
crop in the counties of Licking. Franklin,
and Muskingum, and probably others,
that we did not notice particularly, was
much injured from the cold weather and
frosts about the first of last month.
We made some considerable inquiry as
to the prospect of the adoption of the new
constitutions; and from these inquiries we
are confirmed in the opinion we have al.
ways entertained, that it would be adopted
by large majority. We may be mista.
ken, but we think not.

WILD MAN OF THE WooDs.-A gigantic
man of the woods has been discovered in
Green county, Arkansas, and party has
been organized to endeavor to catch him.
When last seen he was pursuing a herd Of
cattle, who were flying in a state of great
alarm, as if pursued by a dreaded enemy.
On seeing the party who discovered him
he looked at them deliberately for short
time, turned and run away with great
speed, leaping from twelve to fourteen feet
time. His footprints measured thirteen
inches each. He was Of gigantic struc.
ture, the body being covered with hair, and
the head with long locks that fairly envel,
oped his neck and shoulders. -

POST OFFICE REGULATIONS.

The Post Master General has issued his
instructions as to the mailing OF the letters
and newspapers, deposited in the Post
Office after the lst of June next:
INSTRUCTIONS TO Posi- MASTERS.
Post Office Department, May, 9, 1851
Post Masters in making their quarterly re-
turns, are strictly required TO fill the blanks
at the head of each page of their accounts
of mails received and sent, and carefully
to add each and every column of said
accounts. They will then recapitulate the
amount of each column on blank page
of the account; so as to enable the Audi
tor to report quarterly the aggregate
amount OF such columns.
In view of the great increase in the num-
ber OF letters to be mailed, and of the con.
sequent increase of labor in post offices,
likely to be produced by the late law pass.
ed at the last session of Congress, "reduc-
ing the rate of postage" &C.; in view, al.
so, of the fact that, by reducing the num-
Der of packages required to be made un-
der the existing rule of distribution, the
labor OF making up the mails can be ma.
terally diminished, it is thought proper to
adopt the following regulations.
1t is therefore ordered, that on and after
the first day of June, 185l:-
Postmasters will carefully assert the let
ters deposited in their Offices for mailing,
and will mail them as follows, to wit:
1st. Every Postmaster in the New En-
gland States will mail, and post bill direct
to the place to which they are addressed,
all letters for post Offices in his own or any
other New England State. Every other
postmaster will mail and post bill direct to
the place addressed, all letters for his own
State or Territory, and all postmasters will
mail and post bill direct all letters for post
Offices in other States and Territories,
which should NOT pass though distribut-
ing Office on their proper route to the office
of delivery. Every postmaster will post
bill and mail direct all letters on which the
instruction small direct" shall be written.
cd. Letters not required by the forego-
ing provisions 10 be mailed direct, shall be
post-billed and mailed to the distributing
office through which they should first pass
on the proper route to the place of their
destnaton-unless the mailing office be
a distributire office.
Sd. All letters received at a distributive
Office for distribution, or deposited therein
for mailing. and which are addressed to
any other distributing Office, or TO places
within the State or Territory where such
distribution office is situated, or to places
no more than one hundred miles distant
from such distributing office on the proper
route to the office of delivery, shall b.
mailed direct; but il the Office of delivery
! is moro than one hundred miles distant
