Last summer, when he was the treasurer
of Ben De Bars theatre at Montreal, that
popular gentleman generally known as
P. G. won the friendship of hosts of people
in that far northern city. Theyiwill re-
joice that he can soon be among them
again, as Mr.. Gleason will leave New Or
leans tomorrow evening, and stopping
few days on the route, will arrive in Mon
treal about the fourth of May, in season for
the grand opening of the Montreal Theatre
on the sixth.
We part from Mr.. Gleason with regret,
for his genial face has become go familiar
that it will be sadly missed in the Crescent
City. Uniting with others of his friends in
the hope that prosperity and happiness
may attend him wherever he goes, we shall
bid Mr.. P. G. an affectionate good-by to-
morrow,

the irregularities in the transportation of
our mails have been caused by the under

speculate and extort, and not from neglect
Of the P0stofice department.
He informed us that if an accommodation
of some kind is not soon brought about, the
Postmaster General will abandon entirely
the route by Red river, and establish land
route from the mouth of Red river.

Grant las we knew it wOuld), but even so
distin guished Grant man as Colonel For
ney has since denounced the convention as
made up of the rough-scuff of the party. If,
therefore, the rough-scuf of the party go

remainder except to go to Cincinnati for a
better candidates It seems to us that
Colonel Forney would have more peace and
happiness by standing with Sumner than in
