WE publish tn morning. the proceedings of a
meeting of the citizens of Bell-Air, complaining
of the irregularity and ineficiency of their mail
facilities. We know the Irregularities of The mails
are annoying in the EXTREME and IRE vexations the
sooner got rid of the better for all parties. TIE
long continued low stage of water in the river and
the severe cold weather, is doubtless. the main
cause of the evil complained of by our BelI-Air
friends, which rendered it physically impossible
for the contractors to fulfil their contract with that
promptness exacted by the Government in such
cases. The present good stage of the river, and
absence of ice, will remedy the evil for the future
We have heard OF no complaints heretofore, ex-
cept from causes growing out of "the dangers and
uncertainties of the river; but if the contractors
have Leen derelct in the performance of their du-
ty, (Which we sincerely hope has not been the
casel-passing way-ofices without delivering the
mails when it was in their power to stop, and un-
necessarily starring ut unusual hours, thus wan
tonly producing Irregularities along the whole
route, let them have meeted out to them only that
reward they deserve. We trust, however, that
the whole cause OF complaint will be fully ex-
planned away, and that the Efforts of the contrac-
tors to accommodate the river Offices with their
mail matter regularly, will be satisfactorily un-
derstood and appreciated.

But there is another circumstance con-
nected with tho rearing and fattening
swine, which, if properly attended to in
practice, will make tho business more
profitable than the above table indicates
mean the great quantity of valuable
compost the swine will manufacture, il
supplied with suitable raw fhaterials.-
There can be no more legitimate aud
pertinent inquiry for the farmer of New
England than this,--How can I convert
the waste or unemployed vegetable sub.
stances on and around my farm into good
manure In considering, then, the pol.
icy or profit of fattening swine, the
item Of manure must have a prominent
place in the account.
On the basis that q bushel of corn.
ground into meal aud properly fed, will
make l2 lbs. of dressed pork, we will
take four early March pigs, of a good
breed, and when they arc six weeks old
place them in pen. Iname four pigs,
because that is about the right number
to be in one pen together, and excite one
another to eat and thrive we'll and work in.
dustriously in tumbling the compost over,
The four pigs shall be fed till or 10
months old, and shall from time to time
be supplied with materials, in a well.ar.
ranged pen, for making manure. We
will state the average price Of tho 6rst
quality of pork at 7 cents per lb., which
is a low estimate, taking a run Of 10 or
i2 years past. The average price Of
corn for 10 years past. in my locality,
would not exceed so cents per bushel
but we will call il s4 cents With these
conditions, the following statement may
be made
The four pigs, fed till 10 10 months Of
age, on prepared corn meal, will
weigh, on an average, dressed 800
lbs. each, or in all 1900 lbs. worth
&c per h. $500
