HOLLAND.
The tri-weekly mail commenced to
run last week. 1t will run from Island
Pond to Derby Line. and back to the
Pond on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sat-
urdays. 1t would seem to be better
arrangement if the mail started at the
Line in the morning, bringing the mails
from that direction, as nearly all mail
matter comes from that way. By this
arrangement all mail reaching the Line
must lay over there one night and half
the next day before it is brought this
way. In sending mail toward the Pas
sumpsic postal route. we are obliged to
prepare it in the morning of the day
before it leaves the Line for the south.
Close connections with Island Pond is
not important in mail matters.
