whether any one in the employ of the Gov
eminent is obliged to do the work for which
they are paid, or not. We would like to
know whether C. p. ellison has any right
to keep the mail bag at his house, or let it
lay in the Depot at Dummerston two or
three hours after its arrival, when he is
paid for carrying it to the post office here.
People don't like to wait that length of
time for their mail and those who come
two or three miles, and then have to go af-
ter it themselves or go without, don't feel
very proud of their mail carrier.-If Mr..
ellison had been thus negligent but once
or twice we should not complain but when
he allows 1t to occur time and again, with
no possible excuse unless it be that he has
an opportunity to trade horses or sell
glass Of liquor, we think it is time some
complaint was made. CITIZEN.
