stages 60 off without the mails, or
with only a portion Of them, as they
ipvarably do, when the stage driv.
crs throw all the responsibility up
on the postmasters. Invariably the
stages stop to change horses, and
to allow the passengers to refresh
themselves with mca! at these
county towns. and hence by allows
ing an hours time at these places,
but little time would be lost more
than what is necessarily consumed,
and no excuses could be made.
