MOvING DAWN this section Of country,
Tuesday last, the 25th day of March was the
moving day. Hundreds of families in the
,.l,o hn,r t1,,i Il
and we suppose the oldest inhabitant" has
seldom seen the roads i'll q worse condition
for that purpose. In many places the mud
was up to the wheel hubs, but through it the
teams had to 90.
PAYING LETTERS BY STAMPS. Shelters with.
out stamps on them are still often dropped
into the post Office at this place, and of course
remain there unmalcd. Some, however, have
stamps placed on them which are useless. A
stamp cut out Of government envelope and
placed on letter is useless: for no letter with
snch stamp on it is mailed. We saw one
of that sort at the post Office on Thursday.
We also saw there letter lately dropped in
with an old fre cent stamp on it, which had
before passed through the mail. That letter
which was addressed to our ncighbor of The
Deldpare Gazette, Of course remains unscnt.
RAILROAD MACHINE SHops.-We under
stand the Railroad Company have been dis
cussng the feasibility and economy of re-
moving their machine shops from Wilmington
to Eikton At the former place they arc
crampcd for room, their premises being toe
small for their wants while here since theil
late purchase from Mr.. Howard they have
room in abundance. We learn they can sci
their grounds in Wilmington for very hcav,
| price-cnough to justify the removal of tho
shops to this place, while, if once locatcc
here, it would be greatly to the Company
advantage in point Of economy. We hop,
the report may turn out to be we'll founded
as such movement would add greatly tt
our population and business. Z
y MODEL STAGE DRIVER. Pagan every
body knows Fagan--the driver Oh the uppc
section of the Eastern Shore mail route. ha
stuck TO his box all the terrible winter Jus
passed without ever giving up for sin 81
day. while all down the line, and everywhcr
else we have heard Of, other drivers hav
deserted their coaches on account Of the coll
and storms, leaving their places to be file
as best the proprietors might. Pagan, al
though out night after night, in snow an
blow and rain and mud, never give up tn
stage, but always ready, always cheerful
always energetic. has put her through i
spite Of break downs, and the opposin
elements and for his energy under the sever
trials he has withstood, he has the thanks
our business community.
