The Post Master General has discontin =
ued the Post Office at Point Isabel. in this
county, and ordered the transfer of its bus
mess to Ottumwa. The cause of this ac-
ton of the Department was the resigna-
ton Of James Thompson. Post Master and
no successor being recommended. We
understand, however, that the citizens
living within that delivery have sent on a
petition to have the Post Office continued.
and have recommended some one for Post
Master. We hope the petition will be
granted. Point Isabel ought to have n
Post Office.

CoAL.-This indispensable article is very
scarce in this market at present. and has
been selling as high as twenty-five cents
per bushel. Two or three boat loads,
shipped from Myrick's and Vests hank
five miles above, furnished partial relief.
Unless the roads improve soon we shall
be a coalless community. This will be n
strange state of things with one universal
bed OF coal underlying the whole county.
The ordinary price of coal here is fifteen
cents per bushel.

We never remember to have seen the
field canvassed from the point of view
here chosen. We present it for the sage
consideration Of our fair readers.
No one will contend that there are no
crimes committed by married men. Facts
would look such an assertion out Of coun.
tenance. But it may be said with truth
that there are very few crimes committed
by married men compared with the mum
Der committed by those who are unmar-
ried. Whatever fault Voltaire may have
had he certainly showed himself a man
of sense when he said f: "The more mar
ried you have the fewer crimes there will
be. Marriage renders a man more vir-
tuous and more wise" An unmarried
man is but half of a perfect being, and
it requires the other half to make things
right and it cannot be expected that in
this imperfect state be can keep the
straight path of reclitude. any more than
boat with one oar, or bird with one
wing, can keep straight course. In nine
cases out of ten. where married men com.
nit crimes against the peace of the com
muuity. the foundation of these acts was
laid while in a single state. or where the
wife is, as sometimes the case, an insult
able match. Marriage changes the whole
current of a mans feelings, and gives him
centre for bis thoughts. his affections
and his acts. Here is home for the en-.
lire man, and the counsel, the affections,
the example and the interests of his
"betfer half" keep him from erratic
courses, and from falling into a thousand
temptations to which he would otherwise
be exposed. Therefore, the friend to
marriage is friend to society and to his
country. And we have no doubt but a
similar effect is produced by marriage on
the woman; though from the difference
in their labors and the great exposure to
temptation on the part of the man. we
have no doubt the man resps a great
er advantage from the restraining in
flueRces of marriage than woman does
But as our Heavenly Father said. at
very early period in the existence of bu
man being: ut is not good for either to
be alone"
