The postmasters are having tough time
Of 1t now. Not only are they taxed enormously
to supply funds for ZACH CHASDLER's commit

are expected to vigorously exert themselves Ia
the distribution of campaign documents.
postmaster in small town In one OF the West

Gen. NEWTON, the engineer of the Hell
Gate explosion, winch Is now fixed for next Sum
day, sends us a letter Intended to aay the ap-
prehension OF danger prevalent In some quar-

people who lave no knowledge OF the matter;
but at the same time he advises the residents Of
tho neghborhood to stand outside TIL the ex
ploion Is over; to keep their windows and
doors open; and to look out for their ceilings.
lie adds that the effec, Of the dynamite will be
sufficient only to jar buildings, without ruptur-

II warning to boats, vessels, and spectators. Due
heed will doubtless be given 10 the precaution-
AIRY and reassuring language OF Gen. NEWTON.
