KALTENBACH -Enlarging upon our
notice of Mr.. Kaltenbach's appoint
ment as Postmaster at Potosi, the
Galena Gazette says:
"Mr. X. is an old settler in the
lead mines, and was one among the
first at Potosi. In 1897 he was APP
pointed Postmaster by President
Van Buren, in the then Potosi, known
IS Snake Hollow" He held the of
fee continuously, under President
Harrison, Polk, Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce and Buchanan, up to 1861,
when the excitement Of the times
caused change. Mr.. Kaltenbach is
and always has been Democrat, yet
if he again takes the Post office, we
doubt if there will be much objection,
politically or otherwise He makes
an obliging p. NJ. and does not OBJ
trude his political opinion"
The Galena Spirit Of the Press and
Dubuque Times also speak of Mr.. KS
popularity and long public usefulness
SoCIABLEs.-The ladies Of the Epis-
copal church intend holding series
Of sociables for the benefit Of the

Thursday evening of this week. The
young and old are invited to join in
