After carefully considering the course

that Tuesday will be the best day of pub
LEGATION for the Democrat. We should 90
TO press Monday afternoon, and mail our
papers that usually 90 up the Grand
Trunk road Thursday afternoons, ON Mon
day, thus connecting with the semi-week-
" stages on Tuesday mornings instead OF
Friday. Now, any delay on the Grand
Trunk, either Thursday or Friday, (not
an uncommon thing) causes many of our
bundles TO lie over on Sunday. which is a
great annoyance TO subscribers. The
Eastern and Western portions of our
County, which now get their papers a day
after they are dated, will receive them
the same day. By this arrangement,
which we trust will not incommodc any,
we are relieved of the pressure upon our
time in the middle of the week when we
often desire 10 be away, and the business
of the Office is better accommodated. 1t
