-Messrs. Bryant and Smith have cap
tured another bear, making the ninth
within twelve months. We believe this
record has rarely If ever been beaten in
the history OF the State, even from the
earliest time.
We would suggest TO your Land
grove aud So. Londonderry correspon-
dents that before they issue another cdi.
ton of their faultfindiug concerning the
mail carrying, they inform themselves OF
few bottom facts. The complaint with
the former carrier was that he arriAed at
Manchester an hour too late TO connect
with the mail, and upon his return left
an hour too soon. And it was a just
complaint. BY reason of it our New
York and Boston mails tcere actually de-
layed one dag one tody and tco days The
other. The new driver was willing to
accommodate the public at large by start
ing earlier and waiting longer at Man
chester, thus, in addition to increased
mail facilities, enabling friends to reach
and leave us without waiting over a day
in Manchester. But note how he is paid
for it. Because he waits at Manchester
for the noon mail he is dashed by your
Landgrove correspondent for not getting
over sooner. Because he starts from
Landgrove in time to reach the noon
mail be is hit upon by So. Londonderry
for leaving too soon to receive bis mail.
Aud yet he barely reaches NJ. before
the train leaves aud starts from NJ. as
soon rs the train arrives. Ii is pity
that he cannot reach his destination be.
fore he startsl Perhaps some one will
kindly inform him how he may, Ae for
us, we are willing TO look at II in mat
ter Of fact way. Rather than have the
letters We write lay over day we are
willing TO 90 to the ofiice an hour earlier,
and rather than have the letters we re-
ceiye delayed two days We are willing to
postpone our trip TO the office all hour
later. The only persoss who are in The
least DISCONNECTED by what Is to the peo-
pie great blessing aud favor Tor which
they should aud do return thanks rather
than kicks, are those who live IN 80.
Londonderry, and the extent OF their real
interest In the matter may be judged
from the fact thst not two letters per
week pass, upon an average, from there
over this line. The possible days delay
of these aud half dozen JOURNALS will
not justify small class who receive a
daily NAL from another quarter in en-
deaynfing TO delay frem one TO two days
