AT l 80 a. m, Sunday, Henry Goddard,
pormastcr, Geo. o. Huntington, assis-
tam, Lamson, the great Investigator,
two boys, bearing some old govern
mcnt boxes, and gentleman carrying
a bag of waste paper, took up the line
of march for the new quarters. AS
they passed ont n large crowd, compos-
ed of our best citizens Kissed, groaned
and otherwise showed the contempt
they held for'thc men who were engag-
cd in this aftcr-md-night work. About
ten o'clock, after the train mail was dis
tributcd and the most of it delivered,
Mr.. Goddard presented his commission.
Mr.. Wood congratulated the old gen
tleman upon his appointment in fitting
terms, and told him that he thought it
very singular time to make the change,
but was willing to accommodate if 1t was
his wish to proceed; that he should re-
quire everything to be properly invoiced
or counted and rcccipted for. Here
Lamson, the great investigator, put in
his oar and said he would write the re-
ceipts and Mr.. Goddard conld sign
them. Business then proceeded slow

take care of and receipt for; money to
count, postage stamps. blanks &c. DC.

son got impatient and said he did not
work on sunday. Notwithstanding
this pious and hypocritical assertion he
put in all day Sunday at work in
Chascs store, i'll fact he came here for
that purpose, and that was the sole rea-
son for the move being made in the
small hours of the night. This fellow
told Wood that when Goddard presen-

tlcman called for a post-otfice order and
| Wood referred him to Lamson,-the
father of all post-offices. Here was
puzzle, for he had seen enouge of old
man Goddard to know that if he stood
over him and told him how, it would
take him all night and the post-office
would have to be moved in the day
time, unless they waited "a hours. So
he turned to Mr.. Smith and says:

! light, who but a few minutes before
had told Mr.. Wood that he was no
longer postmaster.
The large crowd that staid through
the proceedings got considerable a.
amusement out of it. Two drums and
a fife were procured and some fine
martial music stirred the midnight air.
There were frequent cries of Another
call for Lamson" &c. sc. Some one
inquired for the Phoenix and were told
that they had not come, whereupon it
was remarked that they were probably
waiting to hear from ''trustworthy."
There was considerable Kissing and
grooming, and contempt manifested,
but no threatening or interference with
the lawful transfer. Altogether, our
reporter says "the occasion was very
enjoyable"
