NEW MAIL ARRANGEMENTS. The new
time table on the Maine Central and East
ern Railroads. necessiiates new time OF
departure and arrival OF the day mail in
this city. Heretofore there could have
been no more convenient arrangement for
our business men, than the twice daily re-
ceipt OF mails, viz, early in the morning
and at o'clock p. NJ, and the closing of
the same at 5 30 p. NJ. and II L. NJ. Now
however while the night mail will arrive
and depart, at the usual hour. The day
mail going West will close at $50 A. NJ.
aud probably arrive on its return about &
O'Clock p. NJ.
Our mail matter will therefore from a
places West. be receiyed here some five o
SIX hours later, and in bad travelling at a
more inconvenient hour.
