The sunfish Mail.

An effort is being made to have two
mails a week from this place to Claring
ton. At least one fourth Of the people
in the county are interested in this mail.

Of dollars and cents between the depart

make two trips week for something less
than double what be gets for one trip;
the department offers about half ss much
for the second weekly trip as the fret.
His last proposition will be heard from
in few days.
:. He is willing. for the accommodation
Of the people on the line, If but one trip
is to be made, 10 make that at whatever
time in the week may be most generally
desired. Two or three weeks will proba-
bly decide the whole matter.

PARTICULAR NOTICE,

There are many preparations sold under
the name Of Bitters, put up in quart bottles,
compounded of the cheapest whisky or COM
mon rum, costing from 20 to 40 cents per gal
lon, the taste disguised by Anise or Corian-
der seed.
This class of Bitters has caused and will
continue to cause, as long as they can be sold,
hundreds to die the death of the drunkard.
By their use the system is kept continually
under the influence of Alcoholic stimulrnts
of the worst kind, the desire for liquor is Gre
ated and kept up, and the result is all the
horrors attendant upon drunkard's life and
death.
For those who desire and WILL HAVE a
liquor bitters, we publish the following re-
cepit: Get one bottle of Hollands German
Bitters and mix with three quarts of good
Brandy or Whisky; and the result will be a
preparation that will far excel in medicinal
purposes and true excellence any of the nu-
merous liquor Bitters in the market, and will
COST MUCH LESS. You will have the vir-
tue of Hoofand's Bitters in connection with
good article of liquor, at much less price
than these inferior preparations will cost you.

THx Proprietors have thousands of Letters
from the most eminent Clergymen, Lawyers,

knowledge, to the beneficial effects and medi-
cinal virtues Of these bittets
From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. D. Editor of
the Encyclopedias Of Religious Knowledge.
Although not disposed to favor or recon
mend Patent Medicines In general, through
distrust of their ingredients and effects, l
yet know of no sufficient reasons why man
may not certify to the benefits he believes
himself to have received from any simple
preparation, in the hope he may thus contrib
ute to the benefit of others.
1 do this the more readily in regard to Hoot-
lands German Bitters, prepared by DIR. C. III.
Jackson of this city, because was prejudiced
against them for many years, under the i'm.
preston that they were chiefly an alcoholic
mixture. am indebted to my friend Robert
Shoemake, Esq., for the removal of this pref
udiee by proper tests and for encouragement
to try them, when suffering from great and
long continued debility. The use Of three
bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of
the present year, was followed by evident
relief, and restoration to degree of bodily
and mental vigor which 1 had not felt for SIX
months before and had almost despsifed OF
regsininx. I therefore thank God and my
friend for directing me 10 the Use of them.

1EoREAsE OF Box ABD DRAWER RENTS
IN THE PosT 0FEIoE -Instrucrions have been
given to the Postmaster Of this city, by the
POstoHice Department, to charge, after July
1st, 1854, one dollar per quarter for boxes,
and two dollars and fifty cents per quarter
for drawers, which are just one half the
prices charged in the larger Eastern cities.
Cleveland heretofore has had cheaper drawer
and box rents than any other city in the
cOuntry-the prices being about Ons-hslf Of
those of Columbus, Buffalo, Cincinnati and
Detroit.
The above new prices may seem high to
many, but they are not higher than are
charged in other cities Of the same size as
ours. If any one feels that the cost of his
bex or drawer is too much, he can disoon
tinuei it, and the Postmaster will see that
his mail matter is delivered safely and
promptly at his place Of business or residence
on the arrival Of every mail, and no extra
charge will be made. Free delivery Of let
ters is now getting to be quite fashionable,
and We would advise all to throw up their
drawers and boxes, and try the new system.
1t is butpropsr to state, in connection with
the above. that all the increased revenue de-
rived from drawer and box rents will 20 to
the Government entirely, the Postmsstsr's
share of the box rents being limited by Law
to certain sum- which is equal to about
Ons-half of the present receipts. Consequent
Iy he will nOt'dsrivo one cent benefit from
the eincrsassd price.
