A Postmaster Who Didn't Propose to Put
Himself About 70; Unclo Sam.

IL. +. CALL
1t is related that some years ago
the Postmaster General of the
United States wrote to an Alabama
Postmaster to learn show far the
Tombigbee river run up above his
Office" The response came in due
course of time and respectfully
acknowledged the receipt of the
letter from headquarters, and the
mailbag custodian had the "honor
of informing the Postmaster Gem
eral that the Tombigbee river ran
dotOn, and not up.n The high off,
cial at Washington "thanked the
gentleman for his information,n
and notified him that his services
would no longer be required by the
department.
A similar summary disposition
is likely to occur in the case of a
Michigan Postmaster, who, in re-
sponse to letter from Superin-
tendent Lowell, of Cleveland, max
ing inquiries concerning a distinc-
tion between the name of the POST
office and that of the place, with
view to avoiding mistakes in the
delivery of mail .matter, wrote the
following answer:

less than 1000 copies outside the

To Our Subscribers.

The year 1870 is fast drawing to
a close, and we want every one OF
our subscribers to stand clear on
our books before the first of Janu-
airy, 1880. On the first of January
the subscription price of the ARGUS
will be reduced to one dollar and
fifty cents per year, and all our
subscribers should commence new
with the year 1880. At the COM
mencement Of the coming year, we
shall open a new subscription book,
and all who have not settled up TO
that date, will have their accounts
charged up, and the book will be
turned over 20 some attorney for
collection. This is task that we
very much dislike to undertake,
but as we have a large amount of
money standing out in these small
and as we are not able to
lose them altogether, we must ac-
cept the best plan within our reach
for their collection. We hope that
those of our patrons who are in ar
rears will call and settle before
January, and thus save us the I'M
pleasant duty of seeking the aid of
o collector.

We notice that where the exca-
vations are being made for the
Second street drain, there is no
sign Of a warning put up at any
point to show those who are forced
to be about in the night, that there
is any danger in crossing the ditch.
1t seems to us gross piece of
carelessness to have such an open
ditch on our main thoroughfare
without the slightest precaution
to prevent accident by men or
beasts falling therein. In some
places, if man should fall into
the drain, it would be a miracle If
he escaped with his life or without
broken limbs; while there are
other places where a horse, by a
false step, might break leg or be
thrown head-long into the cut.

pleased to see those desiring his services,

Der 25th, says: "One of the last
acts of the United States grand
jury was the indicting of Col. O.
Lochhead, of Flint, on charge OF
embezzling the funds of the First
National Bank of that city. The
Colonel has not yet been arrested,
for the reason that he is under bail
to answer. any indictment which
the grand jury might find against
him. Some time ago, when the
trouble with the bank was first
disclosed, Col. Lochhead was ia
ken before Commissioner at Flint
and examined. He then gave bail
to answer an indictment, if any
were found. Some day, when the
authorities get ready to try the
case, he will be brought into court
and will be required to plead to
the indictment. 4,.t..
