The Appointment of Postmasters

The mode of appointing Postmas-
tiers, which is now creating considera-
BILE discussion throughout this section
of the country, we learn from a worl;
entitled 'Holbrooks' Universal Mail,
which is good authority
According to general practice they
are placed on file in the corresponding
bureau of the New York, New Eng
land, and other divisions, embracing
the Office applied for. The clerk, to
whom they are referred, at once pre-
pares brief" placing it upon the
outside of the paper, and setting forth
the material points in the case, with a
list of the names of the principal pc
titloners or remonstrants, so that when
it is called up for examination or
final action the Postmaster General
and his First Assistant can, without
wandering through the superduous and
collateral matters which a majority Of
the applications contain, get at the
gist of the case at once. 1t rot unfre-
quensly happens that when the in
fluences, pro and con, for and against
leading candidates, are too nearly bal
anced, the applicants are all discarded
and the appointment given to some
individual who has not been an appli-
cant at all The course stated above
applies more particularly to appoint
ments which yield less than 500 pei
annum. All paying over that, are re-
ferred to the President. OF this kind
there are only 433 out of 20,59S pos
offices, and they require confirmation
by the Senate.

Houses Wanted.

Just at this time there appears to
be great demand for houses in this
place, by those who have not yet found
an abiding place for the coming year.
The questions may be heard in the
store. in the shop and in the street,
"Have you got house yet ?" where
are you going to move ?" Where
can / get house ?" &C., to all of
which queries the answer invariably
is, "don't know" Notwithstanding
tie large number of dwellings that
have been erected within the last few
years, there appears to be an made
quate number o supply the demand.
There are anumber of persons in the
place who are in the habit yearly Of
renting several houses, all Of whom
agree that if they had twenty more
they could find tenants for them ALL
There is no better evidence of the
growth and prosperity of q town or
city than high rents and a scarcity Of
dwellings-although in most cases the
rents a e quite moderate here.

From TitusviIle.

With change in the administra
tion of our government, has come ;
change of atmosphere The new
clerk of the weather, seems inclined
to atone in some measure, for the care
lessness displayed by his predecessor
in the discharge of his official duties
and by the aid of stern old Boreas, hi
has changed the sweltering weather
ola few days ago, to that of cooler
and more seasonable character. May
we not look upon this as a favorable
omen? May we not hope that the
fires of passion and fanaticism, which
are now raging 50 liercely throughout
our land, may soon be extinguished,
and that deep love for the Union, an
nnfilnching patriotism and firm re-
lance upon the protecting ale of an
All-wise Providence, may INSPIRE those
within whose hands are placed our
country's destiny, and that content
ment ard peace may once more find
upon our shores a welcome and a per
petual resting place. God grant it
may be SO
A man named Moses Simpson, late
resident of Point Pleasant, was
drowned in the river opposite Titus
vile, on the morning of the 9Th inst
1t seems that Simpson, together with
several friends, had undertaken to
move some household goods, by means
ola common fiat boat, in which tenn
porary sail had been raised. AS the
boat came opposite our village, the
whole company arc ,e, and waving
their hats, gave several cheers While
standing in this position, Simpson by
some means lost his balance, and fail
ing into the river, was drowned before
assistance could reach him.
The 18th anniversary of the Titus
vile Parochial School, was celebrated
in the Presbyterian Church Of our
village, few evenings ago. Long
before the hour fixed for the opening
of the exhibition, the room, which is
capable of seating five hundred per-
sons, was crowded with spectators of
whom large portion were ladies. =
The exercises of the evening consisted
of vocal and instrumental music, dia-
bgues and dec amation The instru-
mental music was very fir, but the
singing was most excellent Two
pieces in particular, one entitled the
" Sleigh Ride" and the other "Wild
wood Flowers" were sung with great
sweetness and much effect by some of
the pupils. Some of the dialogues,
and other pieces selected for the occa-
sion, were of very amusing charac-
ter, and were presented to the audi
ence in such a natural and humorous
as to elicit much merriment
and applause Indeed, the whole ex-
hibition reflected great credit upon
the fair and accomplished teacher of
the 81 hool, Miss Davis, who fer some
time time past has had charge of the
department of the insti-
tuition. The citizens of TitusvilIe have
much in the present condition of the
school upon which to congratulate
themselves, and the interest they are
in its prosperity, speak
much for their intelligence and enter
prise.

Fires at Pattenburg.


The house of Mr.. Nicholas Sine,
of Pattenburg, took fire on Thursday
afternoon of last week, while he was
attending church. The fire was ex-
tinguished without much damage to
the building.
The store of Mr.. Jas. G. Anderson,
at that place, narrowly escaped des-
truction by fire. Mr.. Anderson left
the store for a short time, and left a
camphene lamp on the counter, which
exploded during his absence, and set
on fire some goods which were neal
by. The fire was extinguished With
a loss of about $50 worth of goods,
which are insured.

A Fact.

All seasons are good for advertising
and particularly "now." The dull
times are as good as any for the ad
vertiser, for what little is going on,
they get; and while others are grum-
bling they pay their way, and with a
newspaper as life preserver, swim
on top of the waters, while others
around them are sinking. Advertis-
ing is the very sunshine of business.
A man makes very little out of this
world unless he let's people know he is
in it. You will discover after several
minutes ehection-that's so.

Ar ested on Suspicion.

On Monday morning two individuals
a white man and negro, were arrest
ed in Main street, in this city, byOfi-
Ger Bennett, on suspicion of being es-
capped prisoners The negro was no.
ticed to have on hoppels," which
were very heavy, nearly as stout as
an ordinary sized crow bar, which he
had succeeded in breaking in the mid
die, and had drawn the ends up the
legs of his pants. Officer Bennett tele-
graphed to Doylestown, to ascertain
whether u not any Of the prisoners had
escaped from the Jail at that place.
About 4 o'clock, ex-Sheriff Ely of
Bucks County, arrived here and at
once recognized them as prisoners who
had escaped from the Jail on Sunday
evening. During the recent cold snap,
the prisoners were allowed fire, in their
apartments, in which these gentlemen
heated the poker, and burn d the floor
where it had been spliced together, in
the cell, in such a manner as to enable
them to draw up the nails, and then
took up the floor and dropped them
selves down into the celler beneath,
making good their escape by win
dow.
The white man called Himself Syl-
vester Merrick, and was imprisoned
for stealing watch He il quite
young, and this is his first offence of
the kind The negro, who is an old
offend r, is known by the name of
Charley Palmer, and was incarcerated
for appropriating to his own use ar
ticles that did not belong to him.
Both are to be tried at the April term
of Court.
The prisoners were taken to Doyles-
town by ex-Sheriff Ely.
