No Repairs Yet.

No steps bad been taken up to Tuesday Of
this week to make any repairs to the impossible
section of the road between Pomonkey and ely
mon: TO which We called attention last week,
and the large number Of travellers over thai
thoroughfare have been compelled TO exercise
their right of passing through Mr.. Brlwner's
farm, while others have taken the back road
and gone through DR.. Chapman's farm, to the
great Inconvenience of those gentlemen. We
are in receipt of numerous communications by
letter and otherwise, asking us TO call attention
to the bad condition of the road. We have
heard of one valuable vehicle that was badly
broken up in the en- aeavor TO pass over the road
in question and, if repairs are not promptly
m .de. the county may incur heavy liabilities
from that cause. We believe that the bond o,
the supervisor for that district can be held ! ia.
BILE to answer over to the county for any dam
ages it may have to pay on account Of the con-
dillon of that road.

Another Miscarriage Of the Mails.

We have complaints from nearly all the
Offices which receive their Poit Tobacco mails
over the railroad that their papers were not re-
ceived when due last week. This time as on
previous occasions. we have 10 state that the
fault is not with US, as all the bundles Of our
paper were mailed on Friday at the Office here
promptly as usual. We have also a postal
that the fault is not with him, as the Port
Tobacco mail was not pu, on the cars a all or
Friday, the carrier not having arrived when the
train passed up. This clearly exeuerates the
route agent from any blame 10 the matter and
the fault seems TO lie between the conductor on
the train and the local mail carrier. The local
carrier informs US that the train was consider
ably behind lime on the downward trip on that
day, owing, as be was informed, to heavy
freights, and that, so soon as be received his
mail, he came to the village in ali haste with it
and returned as rapidly as possible 10 the
station with the return mail, including the
county papers, and that when in less than u
hundred yards of the station and in full view
of the officers o. the train, the train pulled out
and left the mail behind, when to have waited
for il would not have involved a minutes de-
lay. These are the facts of the matter as we
have them. 1t is certainly very disag reeable
to US 10 have 10 be continually finding fault in
this matter, and we do not know what may be
e instructions of the train officials or the
terms Of their contract, with the Governmen,
for carrying the mail, but it does seem TO US,
looking al the matter from our standpoint,
that train which runs upon so notoriously
slow schedule as does our mail train, mig ht
afford to delay few minutes at the county
tow 10 receive The most important mail in the
county especially when the delay of the mail
is die 10 the delay of the train on the down
trip AT the same time, wirhoat knowing the
te ms Of the local carriers contract it seems TO
us that it ought to be his duty when the train
is late, as on F.day, to void the possibility Of
such niscarriagss, bs first coming 10 town and
tking ont the outgoing mail AMI returnir &
later with The down mail There is evident y
culpabe looseness somew here, either in tie
terms of the mail contracts or the m amer in
which they are carried out.
