Mail Route Discontinued .-Postmas-
ter Ross received word, last Friday, that
the mail route between Pemysburg and
Fostoria, via Fenton, Scotch Ridge, New
Rochester, West Mill Grove, etc, was to
be discontinued after April lst. Mr.. JAS
CoNLEY, who has carried the mail on this
route for some years, made his last trip on
Friday. This route il among the first es-
tablished in the county and dates back
almost to the first settlement of the inte-
ror. The Sunday journal lenrns these
facts from the Toledo Postoflice
Fenton is to he supplied twice week,
probably, from lie Moyne, ON the C0Ium-
bus Rond Scotch Ridge already has a
daily service from Pembcrvile, New
Rochester will get tri-weekly from the
same place, Freeport is supplied daily
from Bradner, West Mill Grove daily from
Rising Sun--all on the Columbus R0nd.
The change will give increased mai! lacil-
tiles To this section, Mt increased expense
To the Government. Thus the entire route
from Perrysburg to Fostoria, was carried,
two years ago, by Mr.. COney, for Si00 a
year-Sl2 per mile, on contract direct with
the Department. Last year the same car
rier gnt the same sum Tor carrying ii be-
tween Freeport and Perryshurg on u short
contract, from Parker OF DstrOit, a mail
contractor Now the Frpepurt service
costs $50, Scotch Ridge $3.50, and the 9TH
er points will increase it To upwards OF
$500. However, the people are better o
commodated and will appreciate the
change.

As he had never seen before.

And yet twas writ In childish firth,
And posted for the dear Lords sake.
With careful hand he hroke the seal,
And rev'rently the letter read:

For this was all the writer said:
"My Lord and savior, Jesus Christ,
Pve latelytlost my father dear;

And life to her is sad aud drear.

That none can ever ask IN vain

And what is right for us TO spend.

But he had little Lord, to leave,
And what he left is almost spent.

And for the answer gladly watt

And straight the King an angel sent.
