LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
RLANCHARDyILLE.
The Track Of the Freeport, Dodgeyille
l. Northern Railway Laid into the
VILLAGE,

The Track Of the Freeport, Dodseyille
i Northern Railway Laid into the
Village.
January 18th, 1888. was day long
to be remembered in the history of
this enterprising village. After many
years of weary waiting and bitter dis
appointments, the most vivid hopes
and expectations Of its people have at
last been full realized, and on that
day the track of the Freeport, Dodge
vile & Northern Railroad was laid
close up to main street and almost in
the heart of the village. Ample ar
rangements had been made to receive
the construction train, and a genuine
old fashioned barbecue-an OK roasted
whole a dinner had been pre-
pared to which all were invited. Near
ly one thousand people sat at the tables
while large numbers were entertained
at the hotels and in private houses.
The village was handsomely decorated
with flags and evergreens, and many
inscriptions containing appropriate leg
ends, some of them of humorous
character, were displayed. Notwith-
standing the excessive cold, the streets
and every available building were
thronged with people, very many of
whom were ladies. The Long Valley
band under the lead of Professor Holt
was present and rendered fine music
which was highly appreciated.
After dinner brief speeches were
made by A. Blanchard, J. C. Ula and
others.
The officers of the road and large
of citizens of Freeport and
other towns along the line and the
Freeport band, which had been en-
gagged, would have been present only
for the breaking down Of the trestle
work near Martintown, which pre-
vented the passage of the train.
The history of public gatherings in
this or any other town in the county
furnishes no parallel to the good order
observed by all during the entire day.
Too much credit cannot be given to
the ladies of the village and neighbor-
hood, who contributed so largely to the
success of the entertainment. j. F. T.

All postmasters have been instructed
to observe the postal law which re-
quires the collection of one cent each
for advertised letters.
Letters mailed in this city before
5: AS a. m. reach Chicago at 2:l5 Of
the same day. Letters intended for
the morning train should, when pos
sible, be put in the Office before 10
o'clock of the previous evening as it
greatly expedites the work of making
up the mails; but letters placed in
either the inside or outside box Of the
post Office up to 5:45, or just before
the mail leaves the Office, are always
sent on the morning train.
The postal law relating to permiss-
able writing and printing on second,
third and fourth class matter (which
includes newspapers, books and mer-
chandise) has been changed. The new
law provides that matter OF the second
class shall contain no writing, besides
the exceptions under the old law: the
place of publication, the correction Of
any typographical error, the words,
" Sample copy" or Marked copy" and
the subscription thereon. On the
wrapper Of third class matter may be
written or printed the occupation, res
idence or business address Of the
sender and any other printing that is
not Unavailable as third class matter.
Fourth class matter-merchandise-
may be sent in packages marked with
name, occupation or business address
Of the sender. The change in the law
removes nearly all restrictions IS to
printing on matter OF the third and
fourth classes.
