GRANGE OF MAIL TIME.-Wc last week
alluded to the change oftho time of leav-
ing Of the Castine mail from Ellsworth -
Our contemporary retorts by saying the no
tice of change was published in the .Ilan-
cock Journal" Very well, hut supposing
it had been so published. it does not quite
follow that all interested had seen the no.
tice, nor would it if it had been published
in the American, either. One of the COM
plants preferred, was. that no notice had
been given beforehand, that application
was to be made for change. We under
stand that the change was made on the re-
commentator Of the several postmasters
On the route, they signing such paper,
merely because asked to 10 so. The
schedule of this route was changed entire
once and made just as bad for the public as
it could be, on just such recommendations
as that used in tails case. How many more
times will it be changed for the wors G!
Now We give those interested this timely
notice, that We have been requested by the
contractor, and others interested particular
y in this route, to do what we can to get
the mail to so and come according to the
old schedule. If any one has ought to say
why the "old way is not the best way
they have full notice to make their ohjec.
tons known. While on the subject Of
mail-time. let us ask the public in this To-
cality if any thing is gained in time in run
ming the Eastern mail West under the pres
ent schedule over that of the old! we ven
ture to say, that for half of the time from
new until June, the Eastern mail cannot
as at present run reach Bangor to connect
with the morning train, and therefore our
mail has to lie over in that city for twenty
four hours. If this is the fact, will our
Eastern friends, who were supposed to be
interested in the new schedule, gain any
thing by this change.

Insurance for Baggage.

1t is to be hoped that in this active age
when the suhjcc. of insurance is receiving
so much attention, and the forms of its ap
plcation are so largely multiplied, that
some smart and enterprising Yankee will
take ont charter for insuring the baggage
of travellers. Insurance is effected on the
lives of those travelling by stage. steam
boat or railway; and also against acciden.s
of all kinds. The person, thus armed at
all points starts for his journey, fully sat
isfied that every precaution has been taken
that prudent person can suggest; but the
first hack driver that carries him to hotel
shows the wonderful ,Srortr ess Of a
careful Jehu by throwing his valisc over

fectly horror struck. tn find when it has
been gathered up only half smashed to sec
it placed on the bottom Of the rack with a
ton Of trunks on top OF it. The result Of
this usage is a collapse Of the yalse, the

If enough of the same is left wherein to

he will find about as much Of his baggage
left as we can imagine 4 cavalrs-man
would have after having been chased Il
week by the enemy. Now not to pursue
this matter further. for every traveller
knows all abou, it, we ask the question,

SECOND VOLUME PUBLIC LEDGER.

We enter to-day upon the second
volume of the PUBLIC LEDGER, the first
having closed on Saturday last. We
cannot, even at the hazard of bad taste
avoid saying, in this connection, that as
we have made the LEDGER success in
the past, we shall make it greater sue
cess in the future. Overcoming those
obstacles which beset the origin OF a
newspaper, and render its success a
problem to be worked cut By patience
AMI industry, we now challenge COM
parison in this respect with any journal
in the city. Step by step we have pro-
crossed until our circulation in the city
is, as we have reason to believe, second
to neither of our contemporaries. 1t IS
still progressing with great rapidity, and
by the close of the second volume, we
expect to challenge comparison with the
foremost paper in the State. Those who
patronize us in the way Of advertising
have discovered the advantages the
LEDGER affords, and are reaping har-
vest of public patronage far beyond their
expectations. In the future, as in the
past this journal will speak its senti-
ments without reserve 1t will belong to
no party, pander to no clique, but with all
the power it possesses, will sustain the
right and combat the wrong
