TIE PSF OFFICE AT EARLvILLE ABoL
IsHED.-We take peculiar pleasure in an-
ncuncing tho fact that the Post office ut
EarlviIe has been abolished by the depart
ment ut Washington. Like any other nui.
sance, it, as we'll as the Post Master who
presided over it, was rightIully abated. The
papers, letters aud other effects of the office
we're taken possession Of yesterday morn
ing, by Post Master ANDERSON, Of Franklin.
Those men in Franklin who dishonorably
and fraudulently attempted to deprive the
office ut the last naa,ed place, Of its proper
and Legitimate share Of business, may have
learned by this time that such attempts do
not and will not meet with favor at the
hunds OF any honest administration.
The whole case may be stated in q nut
shell. The Republicans of franklin at.
tempted to make servile tool Of Mr.. An
derson, but unfortunately for them, he was
a man of too much integrity and independ-
ence. He had too much self respect, and
too high regard for duty. Hehcei the per-
secution now carried forward against him.
No person will venture to charge him OF in.
competency or unfaith'ulness. During the
whole time in which he has occupied the po-
sition of Post Master, he hos been true in
every respect to the interests of these doing
business, and faithful to the department.
FURNITURE Rooms AT ALLrAYcE.-Our
young and entelprising neighbors, Messrs.
|. g. ]. VANCE, intend establishing branch
Of their Furniture Rooms at Alliance. We
cordially recommend them to our friends in
lliuhce as young men of integrity and ex'
cellent business qualifications.
Almost AN ACcIDENT.-We understand
That the mail train coming from Cleveland,
on Monday morning, ran into large beech
tree which was lying across the track, about
three mile from Hudson. The tree was
cut in two; But strange to say. the engine
was not thrown front the track.
A New law FIRM - We take pleasure
in calling attention to the professional card
Of Messrs. DAY, TAYLOR &c HoRTos, Attor.
neys at Eaw, in Ravenna. This is an ex.
cellent and able firm. From personal ac
qhaiatonce and from reputation, we know
them to be gentlemen of courteous manners
Honorable IL all Business Transactions, and
Yell yersed in the "noble science of the
law"
