paTmcnt not to allow any advertisements to be

CITY ELECTION. The warrants have been post
ed and the polling lists hung up for the spring

The officials at the Belfast Post Office have dis
continued the lists of letters which for thirty wears
have been alphabetically displayed at the delivery

think the change i an improvement.
