: ETWe are gratified to know, that the
firm Of Brooks, Macdonald & Co., New

year ago, have made another payment
to their indebtedness. We also learn,
that the gentlemen, having the settling up
the affairs of that company arc straining
every nerve to fully establish the credit
Of the house--and it is not improbable
that they may this year bs ga able syHs sH payiq
people are greatly Interested in this mat
ter, as about one-third Of their indebted
ness falls upon this .dounty alone; COM
ing SO soon as it did after the devasta.
tions Of the war, it completely prostr.ted
the energies Of our people, and some liz,
tie allowance should be made, for any ir.
ritable feeling We may have expressed on
learning Of the first mstallmc,t paid by
them. We thought then, and stiil think,
taat the friends OF Macdonald in Van
Burcn deserved better and more generous
treatment at his hands. as .t g.l7HvaiI
If the present firm OF Brooks, CLAI.

credit, as they are in hopes to do, Of tho

DELAWARE PosT OFFICE.-The announce
ment by telegraph of the appointments of
Joseph F. CuFran as Postmaster at Delaware
does not surprise those Of our citizens who
are conversant with the position and views
Of our Representative In Congress, who had
! entire control of the matter. The affair, in
all its aspects. has been very fully canvassed
by our people, who have passed their in
dividual Judgment thereon, and we do not
deem it advisable or necessary to indulge in
a general discussion of the subject at this
time.
On one point, however, we must say a few
words. The present incumbent of the Of
dce, against whom no charge Of political or
official delinquency has been, or can be
truthfully made, holds a commission that
does not expire till May, 1870, and as neither
himself or others had, until quite recently, |
anticipated any interference with his unex-
pired term, the appointment of another to
supereede him at this time excites very gem |
eral surprise-aff0rCls a striking eommen-
tary on the ayowed Cabinet decision that
Republican officials should not be disturbed
while holding unexpired commissions-and
we can safely affirm is in very decided con-
ftet with public sentime Mt; for whatever
diversity of views there may have been as
to the succession, on the question of remov-
al there was and is very little if any differ
ence of opinion.

April SNow.-We were favored with
a furious snow storm Tuesday after
noon. Happily it was of very short
duration. With US Saturday, we had
not enough snow to whiten the ground,
while a short distance south of us a
terrific storm ragged all day. At Co
Iumbus, the Journal says it was the
heaviest snow of the season, lasting
from nine in the morning till night.
Much damage was caused by the snow,
and the wires of the Fire Alarm Tele-
graph were broken in four places. at
Springfield several persons were seri-
ously injured by the falling in of a
roof, caused by the great weight of
snow upon it.

HARNoNTcs AT MARYsvILLE.-The
last MarysyiIIe Tribune speaks of the
concert by the Harmonies at that place,
in the following complimentary terms /:
The Company was composed of about 20
performersy under the leadership of Prof
Briggs. To say that ft was a rich treat
would hardly express the sentiment of our
citizens strongly enough. Mr.. Briggs the
teacher, has q fine genius for music and he
has succeeded admirably in bringing SO
large a class OF performers into the spirit
OF the most difficult compositions. We
learn that much Of the music which recefy-
ed the highest applause from the audience,
was either composed or arranged by Prof
br1ggss which speaks Well for his musical
TALENT and places him at the summit of his
profession.
Mr.. J. c. Breeht President of the Society,
Is q nne Bass singer. His deep rich voice
gives nne effect in a quartette, and his per-
dOEmances VIII pass the guantlet of public
criticism in any musical soiree. But where
all did so WELL 1t seems invidious to distin-
gqish between the performers, and we Will
add In general terms, that their DeFfor-
mances were worthy Of much better sup
port tnan they received. We hope, should |
they ever return on q similar visit to give
them more profitable reception.

DELAWARE GAZETTE.-This old, tried
and true veteran advocate of Republic
can principles, has entered upon the
54st year of its age, and on its birth
day celebrated the occasion in an en-
tire new suit of leaden clothes, made
up in the neatest and most fashionable
style of this fast, fashionable age and
we must say it contrasts advantageous
ly with its issues made many years
ago, when we were taking our initiate
arts" in that office. In looking back
into the dim, distant long ago, thoughts
of peculiar character come rushing
up in our mind, which, had we time
and room, we might ventilate in our
columns of to-day. There is spirit of
enterprise abroad in the land that is
evinced no less in the art of printing
than in any other art or science, in the
onward progress Of the 10Th century.
Onward ! Onward ~ is the motto Of
the age in which we live.
The Delaware, Ohio, gazette comes
to us in an entire dress of new type.
1t is one of our most highly priced ex.
changes.-1Eueoaa (Ga.) onion.
The Dundee, (Ill.) Star, in speaking
of the receipt of copies of the GtAzETrE,
from a friend, says
The Delaware (O.) Gazette, is one of
the neatest looking papers that has
come under our notice for some time.
