ther towns of like Importance. Yet, under
the management. or mis- management of the
"powers that be'' our rights have not un-
frequently been disregarded.
There is point on the Pa. R. R. known
as Cresson, and at this point there is a post
Cffice, and Mr.. Brown, an agent Of the Pa
X. r.. is postmaster.
The Ebensburg Branch is sometimes snow
! ed up. That was the case during the pres
/ ent December storms. Still there was a con-
! tract for delivering the mails at EbensbuTg.
| and that contract should hare been complied
with, as Ebensburg is the point at which the
mails for thirty miles northeast, north and
/ northwest, are made up.
/ On Tuesday the 6th of December, the
Ebensburg Branch was blockaded by snow,
and continued so for ten days. No mails
! appeared from the point of departure Ceres
I SOM on the P. Il. r. and Northern Cam bria.
so far as ordinary mail facilities were con
cerned, was frozen an. Our energetic post
master, Rees Lloyd, Esq, appreciating
the position, procured party TO carry the
mail through. That party breasted the
storm, leveed the road, went through to
Cresson, ard delivered the mail. Strangely
enough, the agent of the Pa. r. r., who is
also postmaster at Cresson. refused to give
the mail to the Ebensburg carrier, who had
opened the way, but at more than double
/ the expense, for reasons best known 10 him
/ self procured a new carrier on the now
/ beaten track.
This course Of action was al the more
strange as the same difficulties had occurred
for several years previous, and had always
been relieved only through the enterprise at
/ the Ebeusburg end of the route. Then,
probably, no special interest prevailed. No1c
/ it seems that the point is everythiug-the
people nothing.
If the Department see proper, in the pleni-
/ tude of their power, to ignore the only
means by which Northern Cambria, and the
/ ueighboring communities, could receive
mail, still the faithful and energetic post
master at Ebensburg has the the consolation
of knowing that he has faithfully performed
an important public duty, and that he is
/ entitled to- and will receive the warmest
thanks Of an intelligent people.
