Mr.. EDIToR:-Thc citizens of this village
have been thrown INFO considerable excite
mcnt by an effort being made to change its
name without consultation with them. If a
petition has been sent to our delegates, it
must have been done in the night and signed
by the ghosts mentioned by OLIVER COLDS
SMITH IN his Canto lst
AS our village is not incorporated there is
no necessity for an Act of the Legislature ON
the subject. We would therefore. advise
those fast ones" the next time they attempt
to change the name, to consult the villagers,
and the owners of the corner on the sub.
jcct
We would prefer no change being made
until we hear Canto End, which, we are i'll
formed is ready for publication.
The sleighing which was good on Now
Ieais's and better shortly after, is now
superatiyely superb. Surprise parties are
the .'go," and other surprising things in re-
gard 10 slcighing have occurred which we
may have occasion to mention in our next
letters
"A coon hunt came off lately which ended in
the killing Of our village cat. Alas poor
puss-sad mistake Joe" to take n cat for a
coon. Yours &C., CORNER"

Orr Posi- OFFICE DEPARTMENr.-Wc see
that the Post Office Department has directed
prosecution to be commenced against a
Messenger who is charged with carrying cor
respondents letters between Albany and
New York. 1t is true that we have employed
poor boy to carry unscalcd packages. which
have been delivered to us after midnight, and
it is true that he has never lost or stolen a
single package.
And now let us see what encouragement
We Of the Courier & Enquirer have to pat,o.
MIC the Government Post Office exclusively
We can assign several excellent reasons for
not doing so:
I. On the llth of December last, letter was
deposited in the New York City Post OF
flee, enclosing five hundred dollars to a
gentleman connected with this establish
mcnt in Washington city. That letter has
neicr been heard of.
II. On the ODD of December last, letter con-
tanning one hundred and eighty dollars.
addrcssedto gentleman in this office, was
mailed in Baltimore. That letter has nercr
been heard of.
III. On the Sth ofJanuary, gentleman from
this office, mailed letter containing one
hundred and fifty dollars, addressed to II
town in Massachusetts. That letter has
nerer been heard Of.
In every one of these cases, it can be prov
cd to the satisfaction of any jury, that tic
letter was plainly directed, and duly mailed
with prepaid stamp upon it.
There are people who would think the loss
of Ss3S in four weeks, eight hundred and
ihirty.eight substantial reasons for no longer
trusting the government establishment. We
however, are more forbenring. and have not
Withdrawn our patronage from Mr.. Camp

clared that they would tear up the track and
dcnoli>h the cars if the engineer attempted to
proceed, when finding it useless to contend
against an ovcrpowcring force, the word was
given, and passengers, baggage and freight
returned to Cincinnati. Subsequently. how.
ever, the whole affair was amicably arranged
and the cars resumed their trips.

MIR. SPEAKER BANKS. THE Hon. Nathaniel
y. Banks, Jr., the new Speaker of the fIouSc
OF Representatives, is thus described by a
writer:
Mr. Banks personal appearance somewhat
resembles that of Senator Seward, though
mere youthful and handsome looking man
than that distinguished statesman. lie is of
medium height and SHINY built. with pale
face, keen eye, an intellectual forehead frisky
haiI OF iron grey mixture, standing erect AZ
an Indian, walking with the measured and
cnnrtlv air of a prince, and having withal a
Stilt,d stiffness about him. which some have
described rs 'cerical," and others as Par
ltanlc. but which, be it what it may. unmis-
takably indicates, to my mind. that with
him the intellectual faculties pr,dnminatc
and that in social life he is cold as an iciclc.
Judging him by his appearance lie would very
naturally be taken as sprig of the arStocra-
.cy of the so-call,d Athens of america, in.
stead of a man Of the people, AMI a recent
workman in the machine shop. lie has the
ar, says one writer. and he says so with
some truth, "of IL New England clergyman
pacing the deck ola steamer which he cx-
poets every minute to be blown up" His
appearance. in word, marks him rs y man
Of note. Though stiff and cold he is yet not
iorblddng in his manners, and his 1T rSonal
dcmcanor resembles much the lofty condos
crnding dignity, yet .vcr courteous and ur-
hanc manner. Of the polished and elegant
Winthrop. lie is Il native Vt Massachusetts,
and represents the seventh Congressional Dis
trct Of that State. being born at Waltham,
in the county of Mdalr>cx, in January, 1876
and is therefore now forty years of age. His
habits arc excellent, and his private charac-
ter pure and unspottcd.
