LOCAL AFFAIRS


Change Of Mall Ro,ae.--We are In
formed, says the Cecil Democrat. that it is
the intention of parties Interested, to make
application to the Post Office Department
for change of the mail route from Elkton
to Chestertown, so that the daily mail from
Elkton may pass through Cayot's Corner
and Cecilton, thence to Sassafras, instead
of through Sc. Augustine and Warwick as
at present. The distance over the pro-
posed route, it is claimed, will not be ma
tcrially greater, while the roads. will be
much better than those over which the
stage has now to travel The only Post
Offices that will fail of supply by the new
arrangement are those at st. Augustine
and Bohemia Mills. The latter is station
of so little Importance, that an Office is not
open there more than half the time, and
the limited mail matter there deposited can
be sent to Middletown, distance of about
two niles The st. Augustine Post Office
will shortly be discontinued for want of an
agent, and is at best, the depository of but
little mail matter. Cayot's Corner, where
new Office would be opened, is the center
of a large community, and would be an Of
fee of much Importance and great convc-
niencc to persons in the diriction of Town
Point and Port Herman, who have now to
go to Chesapeake City for their mails.
At present, we are informed, much
larger amount of mail is left daily at the
store in that place for distribution, than is
received at St. Augustine, Added to this
the advantage of a regular daily mail to
the first district instead of az at present,
the uncertainty of a roundabout commu-
nication by the Del. railroad, ought to
commend this change to public approval
The Bohemia Bridge makes this route for
the first time practicable. Warwick would
still have its daily mail supplied by the
route of the northern mail from Middle
town, Del. TO ,Cecilton, and be in no wise
materially inconvcnicnced. Or if it were
reduced to the same necessity that Ceeilton
is now for its Baltimore mail, the simple
fact that postal matter to and from Cecil
ton is ten times as great as that to and
from Warwick, ought to silence cavil and
reconcile all parties to the change. Add
to these considerations the prospect Of a
Bridge across the Sassafras at Frederick
town, andthe near approach to realization
Of the opening of the original direct route
from Elkton to Chcstcrtown across the
Bohemia and Sassafras rivers, and the adj
~ocates of the proposed change have
abundant ground to justify their petition
to the Department. x

Bc,rdre Of Thicrcs.--We caution olr
citizens and farmers to keep on the look
out for thieves, AS we have heard of sew
eral thefts within the last week. On Fri
day night last some person entered the
turkey roost of Mr.. Thos. Cochran, Jr.,
robbing it of a fine turkey. Suspicion fell
upon an old darkey living near. his house
was searched, the turkey found dressed
ready for Sunday dinner, but he was de-
privcd of partaking of it, as Mr.. Cochran
ordered the gentleman Of color to return it
to his house, which he did with rather a
: sorrowful face, yet that one sad face did
mot prevent party of merry faces from
enjoying the stolen fowl on Monday eve.
On Saturday morning, Mr.. VIM A.
Cochran, while walking across mis- farm
was startled by finding where one of his
sheep had been butchered. He endeavorcd
to pursue the thief's tracks. (hoping to OBJ
tain some clue to him, but found he had
turned his course into well Travelled path
leading to the village of Odessa, therefore
the pursuit was relinquished.
