Inspector Ncwbcrger, Of the post
office department, was in town last
week for the purpose of investigating
charges, preferred in June, 1885,
against the service here. The light

were the charges and proved further
that they had been so phrascd as to
be utterly misgulding, and that the
postal laws had been duly observed
in the premises. After looking
entirely through the case and in.
speeding the Office, Mr.. Newberger
determined them groundless and
took occasion to congratulate the
postmaster upon the management
and condition Of his office. 1t is an
accepted truth that Audubon now
has the most efficient, accommodate.
ing and altogether best mail service
afforded in her history, and none
better could be provided.
