town, the railroads, &c, to escape the disa-
greeable features that pertain to more central
locations and at the same time is perfectly
convenient and thoroughly accessible. The
buildings are of brick and were erected for

that advices received at the Postoffice Depart

country tell Of the increase in small pox cases.
In some instances the department has been ap-
pealed to by postnlasters to adopt some meth

altogether If other means fail The postal
authorities are considering the matter and are
disposed to take any step that may pc feasible
