Whereas the mails between Wheeling and

been carried in very Irregular manner for
the last six months and repeatedly for eight
or ten days we have had no mails wbsteyer,
and often when il has been carried the smsil-

neglected and passed by, leaving them no
mails nor taking any from them, And
Whereas there is no good reason why the
mails should not be carried regularly and the
smaller offices supplied as punctuslly as the

REPUBLICAN SIMPLICITY.

Judge JOHN Y. MASON, or more properly
Johnny Mason, the hunkey who represents
and supports the dignity of our Government
at the French Court, appeared in a shabby
court costume, at public reception, and drew
upon him the scorn and "finger ends" of the
courtiers. Mr.. Sandford, our former Secre-
tary of Legation and pro tenn Charge, had,
according to the suggestion of Mr., Marcy,
appeared in true republican simplicity
thereby raising him in the estimation Of all
sensible men. Mr.. Mason had appointed
Mr. Sandford his private Secretary, but
when Mason played the iunkey M. s. prompt
ly rendered his resignation. Well done

was very well attended, considering the in
clemency OF the weather. Mr.. WELLING de-
livered two lectures, afternoon and evening,
and Rev. Mr.. GRAHAM, and G. e. CARROLL,
Esq, offered some well.timed forcibe remarks
on the necessity of speedy legislation on the
suppression of evils arising from the traffic in
liquors. Mr.. yelling held up in very strong
terms the foolish objections offered towards
the prohibition movement, and treated with
deserved ridicule the pitful plea, "unconsti-
tutional."

6TDestruoiive Fire.-On Saturday morn
ing last about O'Clock, we were aroused by
the cry of fire, and found it to proceed from
the Paper Mlland Oil-cloth factory olMessrs.
AyREs Il OsBUN on Crescent street. The
fire had been discovered but minute when
We reached the building and it had already
burst out of the third story, and the flames
were licking the roof. The building was a
five story brick, long and narrew, built Q
years ago by Messrs. GILL g. HARDmAS, at a
cost OF about $4,000. 1t was insured in the
Valley Insurance Co. for $1,000.
Tho fire took in the Sd story where the oil
cloth was hung to dry, and nearly all the con.
tents of the building being combustble, il
sPrea with fearful rapidly, and the flames
shot up to fearful height. The Guards hose
reel was first there and soon had on water
but the position of the building was such tb,,
the hose to be eifectusl must be brought too
near the buildiag, and two or three section,
were soon scorched aud rendered useless.

DEATH.-We regret exceedingly to learn
of the death of an old and much esteemed
friend, NJ. BAzIN, who died at Havana, Cuba,
of bilious fever. M. Balm was a French
man who had fed from his native land to es-
cape the vengeance Of the vctors in the Rev.
olution of lS4s. He resided in Wheeling
for some time with his soD-ih-law, NJ. De-
Massias, at which place we became acquain-
ted with him. Possessing all the vvacity o
the Frenchman, he was, notwithstanding, 9
man of uhcommonly strong attachments.
Deprecating the present position of his ma
tive land, he spoke with the liveiest emo
tons of la belle France as he knew her il
times past, and as he hoped to see her in day
to come. He was, at the time Of his decease
on his way to the residence of his son-n-law
in the island of Martinco His daughter, VIII
was with him at the time Of his death, is thu
left alone, in foreign isle, and among stran
gers. ....
