THE NEW MAIL ARRANGEMENr.-The
daily mail between Easton and this
place has been running this week. But
so irregular as to be Of little use, at the
same time that it subjects the Post Mas
tiers along the route TO great inconvenl-
ence. During the past week it has ar
rived at Elkton some nights at 9 and
others at - o'clock the difference in
the time OF arrival being caused by the
tri-weekly arrangement between EaS
ton and Cambridge. We are not aware
that any Instructions have been given
by the Department in regard to the
matter. A schedule was furnished by
the Post Master at Elkton, after con-
sulting the other Post Masters on the
route, suggesting the same hours Of ar
rival and departure, as had been adopt
ed under the tri-weeklv arrangement.
We feel justified in saying that this
would suit all parties much better than
the present, or any other plan that
could be adopted, and the Department
at WASHINGTON would do well to instruct
the Post .N0sters TO this effect.
MYSTERIOUS AFgAIR.-The body of a
man was found a short time since near
Chesapeake City, in putrid state, and
partially eaten by hogs. There are ma
nv rumors about the Cause of his death but
we prefer hearing the result of the in
vestigation which will be made next
week, before giving publicity to any OF
them.
