A Good Move.

Our postmaster, Mr.. 2 s. Peck, has
increased the accommodation of his Office,
by the employment of a CLERK, J. f.
Gillette, who will in future open the
office little earlier than has been the
custom, and as he resides near the office,
will keep it open until after the evening
mail arrives. This is Certainly good
move, and one which our ci,izens-mer-
chants, mechanics, and farmers, will
duly appreciate. There are large
number who cannot, during the busy
season, find time to get their mail until
evening, and by adopting the rule of
keeping open few minutes after the
evening mail arrives, it will accommo-
date them. We simply make a sugges-
ton, in reference to an early morning
mail, which we think would; if adopted
advance not only the business of the
office, but add greatly to the business
interest of the town. In neighboring
town there is New York mail, which
is brought up on the freight train, and
every morning at seven O'Clock it is
opened, and it is great convenience to
the business men of that town. Now
there is no mail from New York, or
South, until near noon. yet there arrives
a train, (freight) every other morning.
at good seasonable hour 7:20
A. M, and doubtless if our citizens were
to consult our postmaster, some arrange
ment could be made with the depart
ment for an early morning mail.
