Mr.. George L. Harris, who lately set
tied at Buffalo Bluff, in this county, has
many friends in this city who will be
deeply grieved to learn that his elegant
dwelling, so nearly completed, was
burned to the ground yesterday. Only a
few DAYS ago, from the deck Of the
Anita, we admired the architectural
beauties of the stately residence, crown
ing lofty bluff and overlooking one of
the loveliest portions Of cur winding
river We learn from Captain Bravo,
though ourfriend Mr.. Canova, that Mr..
Harris had no insurance on the building.

St. Augustine Chronicle: zone Of the
greatest annoyances to transient and per
manent residents in Florida, is the irreg-
ularity of the postal service. Complaints
about delays in the delivery Of letters are
the common topic of conversation among
Northern visitors, and surprise is ex-
pressed that the residents Of Florida sub
nit patiently to such constant inconve-
| nience. The facts seem to be that they
cannot help themselves, for plenty Of re-
monstrances have been made with no APP
parent effect. Last week we mailed a
letter in the postoffice at st. Augustine
Ton Thursday, March 12) addressed to Pa
Iatka. and the letter did not reach that
place until Monday afternoon, March 16,
which isaImost long enough for q letter
to go to New York and back. The
trouble seems to lie, in almost every case.
