Pensacola has dog law.-It is with
pleasure, we announce that Postmaster
Lee of this place is in receipt of letter
from the Post Office Department. by
which it appears that his name was i'm
properly placed and published among
those of delinquent postmasters. No one

quired to serve out his term of imprson-
ment-PenSacolG Gazette.

The joyial and good-natured Mayor
of Jacksonville not being allowed to " take
something" in his own town on the Sab

Green Cove last Sunday, and while at the
