A Lively Scramble for the
Postmastership Just
Made Vacant.
A Little Church Difficulty Fur
Flying Between Editors,
ETC., etc.

The postofhce removal has subsidized
somewhat by general scramble for the
postmastership. As far as know, Mr..
Everett, the jeweler, and Prof. Lavelle ARE
the only ones who have actually circulated
petitions. The others are waiting till
there is corpse before ordering coffin.
Prof. Lavelle is almost a stranger. /

Rodman, Stanfeld, Holsey and Corporal"
MISUNDERSTANDING will occur in the
best regulated families. Judging from the
pulpit, press and postOf6ce, our most worthy
Parson Patch, from his beautiful and i'm
pressive remarks to-day, must have been
laboring under wounded feelings,
and Justly NAV he feel the pangs of ingrat-
itude if any in his flock There be who
charge anything but pure, jealous, de-
voted christian worker i'm the character of
Rev. j. F. Patch. He is one of the most
remarkable workers | ever saw, and his
interchangeable work can be seen in many of
the important improvements of cur city,
especially i'm the church, college and par
sonage. His success in Holden may be
Judged righteously by the Improvement i'm
the church congregation, as the average
attendance is more than double what it
was when he took charge of the parish.
His remarks that morning were kind and
gentle. Not an expression of anger still
there could be traced feelings of sorrow,
which only passed away when he reached
that beautiful assurance, Fear not, chris

have got into fight. Now we can stand
most any kind of war; but when two edi.

'buzzum" friends and partners, the fur
