InnEGULAR1rY OF MA1Ls.-We are continually
annoyed by complaints from our numerous sub
scribers along the line of the Rail Road. They
say that they do not receive the " democrat d
Sentinel" until the Tuesday Wednesday after
publication. Now this is vexatious, but we pro-
test against being charged with the blame: part
of our edition is always stricken off on Thursday
night. and the balance on Friday morning they
are regularly mailed from the Ebensburg Office,
and we cannot comprehend why it is that they
are not received in time for distribution at every
office on the Rail Road by Saturday afternoon at
farthest. Thus far we have been able to trace
the delays or detentions to only post Office
along the line of Rail Bead and to this Office we
will turn our most earnest attention, unless the
abuse is speedily reformed.
