POST OFFICE RULES.

The following rules, from the United
States Mail, are full of humorous sar-
casm, which will amuse those who ''tend
delivery" in country post offices, and
might instruct "callers" in many OF
those amenities and courteSies, the lack
of which are not the least of the annoy
ances of official duty:
1t had been thought necessary by some
to circulate the new post Office rules.
But it was finally deemed unnecessary,
except for the larger villages, as they are
pretty generally understood in all the
rural districts.
1. All who live in sight of n post Of
fee should not bring their letters to the
office until the mail coach arrives, for, if
you take them to the office before, the
postmaster may lay them "aside," and
forget to mail them. 1t is very impor-
tant to observe this rule, and it you have
letter to be registered the carrier can
wait.
2. Although the law and regulations
heretofore published do not require any
postmaster to mail any letter brought to
his office unless brought full half hour
before the usual time of making up the
mail, which law and instructions are not
repealed, yet they need not be regarded,
but if, after the mail is put up and locked
and been unlocked three or four times,
the postmaster declines opening the bag
for the fifth time, or the carrier declines to
wait, get mad and elbow" oneor both of
them up, giving them to understand that
they should serve you personally instead
of the government and the public gener-
ally.
3. Never buy any postage stamps till
you take your letters to the post office.
Then hand The postmaster V or an X
and, when he hands you the change and
stamps, leave the stamps lying loose on
the letters and go oil-especially if the
postmaster is very busy.
4. When convenient, bring your let
ters for the postmaster to direct, and in
sist on his doing it before he marks any
more letters or does any other business
as this is a great source of profit and of
pleasure, as well as a part of his official
business.
5. II there are two or three post Off
ces in the town where you wish TO send
letters, be particular to put all the names
on, so that it may reach the right one
then, if you get the county wrong and
omit the State, they will be sure to GO
Ito the dead letter oflicc)
6. lfyou put on the name Of the coun-
ty and State, you may omit the name of
post office, rs it is to be supposed that the
postmaster knows, or ought to know, The
name of every person, old or young, re-
siding in the county, especially Mt the
principal distributing office on each route.
7. If by mistake you get to the office
before the mail arrives, never hand your
letters to the postmaster until it does ar
rive, mail assorted, and the postmaster is
about to- or has locked the mail .bop

On and after the tenth day of April,
1879, The Home Reserve force of Insur-
ance Agents belonging to "The Pennsylva-
MIA Central Insurance Company" will leave
Pottsville in heavy force, and occupy ten
different counties of the State, where they
will continue to act as the Company's
Agents until full line of Local Agents
can be appointed, when they will be recalled.
AS a body of men, believe they are supe-
rior Insurance Agents, and most of them
speak the English, French, Welsh and Ger
man Languages. The City Insurance
Journals, with all their sneers at Mutual
Companies, and continual cry of Fraud
Fraud &C., cannot muster any better In
surance material Why don't the City In
surance papers tell the public that no Mu-
tual Company broke or failed during the
last ten yearsp Why don't they tell the
public that more than half the Stock Com
panies started within the last ten years
have? 1t is a well-known fact that Mutual
Companies cannot fail.

Alcoholics Nature and Effects.

It makes no difference what it is that mcn

ses, and the only difference is in the fAyorins
that makes the various liquors. What, then.
is alcohol? Its the distilled essence Of death!
deadly narcotic poison Everything in na-
ture exists by virtue Of its opposing elements
and alcohol is contained, in some shape, in all
vegetable products just in proportion to the

You may obtain !. from birch bark, carrots, or
even brown paper, but in small quantities.
Grain that contains tie largest amount Of nour-
ishmeut, furnishes the greatest amount Of al
coho. and this is why it Is so largely used in
the manufacture of that article But in order
to obtain the acoho! every bit Of the nutri-
ment is dcstroycd-rotted-and the alcohol is
then separated from the rotten mass by distil-
lation. This in itself is 4 crime against the
laws Of G6d-to take the grain that he has SO
