Postmasters' Salaries.

Mr.. L. d. Ingersoll. Of Washington,
writes a long letter to the New forl
Tribune. 10 show that the salaries Of
Postmasters are egregiously irregular,
and that by q readjustment on stric'
business principles q saving OF about
thres-quarters Of q million dollars pei
annum can be effected. For instance,
he says, the Postmasters at Brooklyn
and Binghamton get $1,000 each, and
yet the population OF Brooklyn, accord.
ing to the 1870 census, Is 396. O96; and
that OF Binghnmton only 12,692. The
salary OF the Postmaster, at Titusville,
Penn, where the population 10 S639,
10 the same as that Of the Philadelphia
Postmaster; while the salaries OF Paw
tucket. r. l., population G6l9. and al
Austin, Texas, population 4i2S, are
$4,000 per annum-just what Is paid in
Boston. Mr.. Ingersoll also compares
tho Postmasters' salaries with the COM
pensations Of tho Assistant Postmaster
Generals, to show that either the
former are overpaid, or the latter not
paid enough.

I wish to add my testimony to the won.
derful curative properties OF your Alt.
Ext, or Golden Medical Discovery. I
have taken great interest In this msdi-
cine since I hnt used 1t. I was badly
afflicted with dyspepsia, Liver deranged,
and al almost perfect prostration Of the
nervous system. So rapidly and COM
completely did the Discovery effect q
perfect cure that Il seemed more like
magic and o perfect wonder to myself;
and Enoe that time we have never been
without o bottle Of the Discovery and
Purgative Pellets In the house. They
are q solid. sound, family physician in
the house. and ready 1t all times 10 fly
TO the relief Of sickness-without charge.
We have never had . doctor in the
house since We first began the use Of
your Pellets and Discovery. I have
recommended the use OF these medicines
in several severe and complicated cases
arising from. q I thought, an impure
state Of the blood, and in no one case
have they failed TO moro than accom-
plish all they are claimed to do. / will
only mention one as remarkable (though
I could give you dozsns). Henry Kos
ter, furniture dealer. OF this place, who
was one Of the most pitiful objects ever
seen-his face swollen out OF shape,
scales and eruptions without end, OK
tending to his body, which was COM
pletely covered with blotehss and scales.
Nothing that he took seemed to affect 1t
a particle. finally induced him 10 try
a few bottles OF the Golden Medical Dis
covsry, with daily use OF the Pellets,
assuring him II would surely cure him.
He commenced It's use some six weeks
since, taking two Pellets each night for
q week, then one each night. and the
Discovery a. directed. Tho result is.
to-day his skin is perfectly smooth and
the scaly eruptions are gone. He has
taken some seven or eight bottles in all.
and considers himself cured. This case
had baffisd the skill Of u best physi-
clans. Messrs. Dunsford & Co., drug
gists, OF this place. are selling largely OF
your medicines, and the demand steadily
increases. and they give perfect satisfac-
ton in every case.

We are Informed by a gentleman from the

colored woman was found near Mount Zion,

been missing about three weeks, and it was
supposed by her friends that she had gone
to Lynchburg, until the remark was made
by negro boy, with whom she had been
misunderstanding the day of her disappear

she ought to be-"
Search being made the body was found at
the time above stated near pile of chest
nuts, with a deep cut in the left temple, sup
posed to have been inflicted by an axe. The
remains had been so preyed on by beasts and
birds that they were scarcely recognizable,
hut no doubt is entertained of their being
those of Aggie Thomas, the missing woman.
The boy who is believed to be the murderer
was arrested and committed to jail TO await
