Wild, stormy weather prevails in this
section and the travelling must be fearful
in consequence, especially the clay por-
tons, which are more susceptible to the
changes Of the weather than sandy soils.
There seems TO be some newspaper COM
ment concerning the bad state of the roads
in this particular vicinity, but travellers
from other parts of the county report that
1t Is no worse here than elsewhere, there
fore, by no means should we take excep-
tons at what cannot well be avoided.
We feel somewhat uncomfortably rem
dered just now over the irregularity Of our
mail matters. The carriers yeport break
down on the s. NJ. r.. r. A breakdown,
forsooth! Think from what have learn
ed, together with my own observation of
this skeleton road, that the whole concern
Is but q trifle less than a wreck, and the
manner in which our mails are handled on
that line is an outrage, and the sooner steps
are taken to avert the evil the better II win
be for he patrons of the different postoof-
fees.
There are frequently valuable articles
sent through the mails which are not in
sured against trampling and other rough
usages to which the mail-pouches are SUBJ
jected- There seems to be little or no care
manifested, 30 the mails get kicked out at
their respective Offices. The Government
pays for better facilities, but Uncle Sam IL
wofnlly cheated sometimes, to say nothing
of the public at large, who must be content
to receive their mail in whatever condition
IL Is handed to them.
