great injustice. There is not q better
conducted or more prompt and attentive
Office in the West Mail matter between
Topeka and this County. does not touch
St. Joseph. 1t goes to Atchison. from
which place there is tri-weekly mail to
Wsthena. leaving Tuesdays. Thursdays,
and Saturdays. II matter is mailed al
Topeka on Tuesday mornin:, it reaches
Atchison the same evening. There il
must lie over until Thursday morning
when it is started for Wathena. 1t ar,
rives at the la,tep place after the daily
mail from St. Joseph to this place has
passed, and must lie over another day
Tins it requires four days for the mail to
come through, and as many for it to re.
turn.
We have frequently spoken Of the large
number of mail routes in Kansas, and
their miserable arrangement. by which
