LOCAL MATTERS.

Nlns.--we suppose that We are the

except when the contractors send for it,
and that is Of very rare occurrence. The

n be permitted to carry The mails when it
.pi,s their convenience, and TO change tho

themselves, because their boats are run
ming opposition to another boat, which the
mail line considers an iuteylopcr, and runs
OtStho regular mail days, the government

routes. We hope that the POstofice de-

not enforced? Only the other day we saw
three or four drunken mea on Maine

and guarding, aud too, in The face Of
