The Special Delivery Of Letters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. l5.-The Post
master General has issued circulars
of information and instruction to
Postmasters for their guidance in
carrying out the recent law extending
the special. delivery system on and
after the LIST of next October to all
postotiices and 10 all maiable matter.
In his circular TO postmasters at free
delivery offices, the Postmaster
General directs that all postofiiccs
which on the LIST of October, 1856,
may be frcc-dclivcry offices are here
by excepted from the operation of
the order Of August 10, 1856, relating
to other than free-delivcry offices so
far as the same prescrlbes the meth
ODDS Of frcc-dclivery, and at all such
free -delivery system may be main
tanned through the employment of a
regular force of messengers as at
present.
AT free-dclivery offices the hours
within which free-dclivery shall be
made will be between the hours of 7
A. NJ, aud IL =. NJ, unless other spe-
cial delivery hours may &c ordered
by the Postmaster General. This
requirement as to the hours of de-
livery does not necessarily extend 10
the transaction Of other pOstotlicc
business after the usual business
hours.
Postmasters at delivery offices
arc not required to make free-deliv-
cry on Sunday, nor to keep their of
fees open any other hours than those
required by law and the regulations
of the department.
The law provides forthe immediate
delivery of all mailablc matter, prop
erly stamped with a special stamps,
to within one mile of the post-oilice,
but the postmaster will be free to
make such delivery as lie thinks
proper. The Postmaster General
may contract for the immediate de-
livery of all articles from any post
Office at any price less than s cents
apiece when it shall deem it expe-
dicnt, Postmasters. at free-delivery
offices are therefore directed to for

propositions which they receive from
corporations or other reputable par
ties for performing the immediate
delivery Of mail matter at their re-
spective offices, with statement of

ommendation as they may see proper

The hours for immediate delivery
at these small post-otiices shall be at
least from 7 a. NJ, TO p. NJ, and un-
I'll the arrival of the last mail, ifnot

as to the hours of delivery does not
necessarily extend to the transaction
of other post-oflice business, after the
usual post-office hours. Postmasters
al both ree-delivery aud the smaller
offices are not required to deliver
special delivery letters on Sunday.
AT the smaller offices they will he at
liberty to deliver them as well as

A very laughable thing happened
recently at Bridgeport, Conn. They
had been putting down new grano-
lithic pavement, and the last slab
to be laid was still green. This par
ticuliar composition when first put
down IS very sticky, but dries quick
ly, and becomes as hard as iron. AS
said before the last slab was still
green, and aspoony young couple in
stopping to say good night, happened
10 stand right on this particular slab.
AS every one knows who has been
there, it takes long time for a cou-
pie of lovers to say good night, that
is, and mean it. They may say good
night, but there is always more or
less kissing to follow, and as it gener-
ally tastes like more, the dose is re-
peated several times, Well, after the
young couple in question had linger-
ed Oh the suburbs of each others lips,
for about twenty or thirty minutes,
they finally decided 10 close the deal,
and after one more fond embrace al
tempted TO part company, but the
slab upon which the stood had hard
ened and they were actually rooted &c
the spot. In vain they tried to re.
lease themselves, and as last resort
they yelled for help, A night watch
man answered their cries, and Will
the help of a pick axe, succeeded in
digging them out.-Peck's Sun.

Mo Pretty Swiss Girls.

The stranger in Switzerland will
be struck at once with the beauty of
the country and the uglincss OF the
women. Here nature seems to have
spent herself upon inanimate objects
and TO have had no material left for
humanity, which she composed out
of the debris left over after she had
constructede the mise en- scene. a
pretty face, native and to the manner
born, is rarely, if even seen upon the
streets Of Derne.
The women appear to do all the
work. 1t is not unusual to SEGA girl
and a dog htched to cart and trot-
ting along together like pair of
ponies. The men, great strapping
fellows, idle and lazy, loaf about the
brdSSeries. Their wives, daughters
and sisters till the fields and supply
the markets. The dog, the goat and
the COW perform the offices common
ly performed in other lands by the
horse, the OK and the mule. The
bear is sacred animal. So is the
lion. The donkey does fancy duty at
the summer resorts. But there is
nothing TO which the Swiss woman
may not turn her hand, from milking
a goat to saving cord of wood and
drawing a load of hay. She is put to
work in her childhood and before
she reaches her maturity she looks
like grandmother, wrinkled and

The State Normal School.



The last Legislature passed an act
establishing a State Normal School
for the preparation of teachers" for
the colored public schools in Ken
lucky, and made an appropriation of
$1,000 for the erection of buildings and
$4,000 annually for running expenses.
1t was contemplated by the Legisla-
ture that as an inducement to have this
school located in their midst certain
communities would offer to donate
lands and buildings for that purpose,
and that $1,000 expended thereon by
the State would be ample 10 place
the school in successful operation.
There are three trustees for this
school for the State-at-largc, one
from each Superior Court district
and the Superintendent of Public In
s;ruction, by virtue of his office, is
also trustee. The Governor has re-
Gently appointed Col. John O
Hodges, of Lexington; Hon. c. U.
McEroy, of Bowling Green; sand
Judge Simrall, of Louisville, the
trustees. They met on Monday at
Frankfort at The Office of the Super
intendent and organized, and will at
once proceed TO erect buildings as
soon as the location is determined
upon. The prospects are fine for
liberal offers of lands and buildings
from different parts of the State.
The trustees have advertised for such
proposals, which must be returned
to the Superintendent at Frankfort
by the lst Of October. The object
is to give every part of the State
chance, and the localities desiring
the location of this institution of learn
ing in tlcir midst must act promptly,
or the opportunity will be forever
lost.
The Governor has made iudicious
selection Of trustees, and their accep-

fellows must be taught that the law
