WARNING TO PosTMAsTERs.-IIiram P.
Pierce, postmaster at South Barre, has
been removed from Office for violation of the
regulations of the Department. The sala-
ries Of postmastsrs of low degree depend on
the amount Of stamps sold by them and the
postmaster-general finds that the govern
inent has suffered to the tune of a million
dollars or 50 by country postmasters who
have vended stamps outside their ''jurisdic-
ton" The salaries at large places are fixed
by law, and 50, Tor instance, if postmas-
ter from some small Office should sell stamps
to Montpelier people he would raise his sala-
ry and diminish that of no one else thus de-
irauding the government. The thrifty South
Barre man did quite a business selling to
outsiders. and Uncle Sam thinks he ought
to pay back some six hundred dollars of
salary, obtained in that way. and will try
to make him do 50. 1t does MT pay, on
the whole, to try tricks with our venerable
uncle. if he is almost an hundred years old.

circumstances which did not look as though
they intended to come back. This was pol
