THE STREETS.--NOW is the time for
the Town Council to have the streets
put in order. The cutters and drains
need opening badly, and ought by all
means to be opened before the winter
rains set in. If not attended to soon,
some of the streets will be no better
than ponds, and the sidewalks will be
impassible in rainy weather for hdics
and cliildrel,s 5sS.

The MATIls.--eca cannot understand
why it IS the mails are 50 unreliable.
Recently, we mailed three letters5to
points not three days travel distant,
and, although ten days have elapsed,
no answer has been received, and the
parties are prompt rrespontients.-
Papers from Homer sparta and Shrevc-
port arc sometimes ten days in reaching
us, and occasionally never come to hand.
With all the precautions we can use,
and giving it our personal attention,
the dcliverS-Of the TEIEC; RAP to mail
subscribers is Il matter of frequent an
noyancc and failure. Is there no rem
rdv for this inrNcuSablc condition of the
mails? Cannot our Radical Admins
tration, with all of its boosted attention
to the interests and wants of the people,
send Us Il special agent to reform thcS"
