Several Of our subscribers at country post
Offices have complained recently about beng
unable to get their papers, and when at last
they do receive them they have the appear
ance of having been much handled by 9TH
er persons. We regret to be forced to com
plain of this sort of thing, but there IS
time when patience ceases to be virtue. and
we must remind the several postmasters
that when paper is addressed to party /;
is private property, and intended for the
party to whom it is addressed. There is
certain class of people that merit the name
of "dead beats, and any man that will 50
to the postofhce and call for his neighbor's s
paper instead of subscribing for it himself,
had lust as well 90 to store and buy suit
of clothes on his neighbor's account without
his knowledge or consent. We are very
particular with our mailing lists, and mis-
takes are exceedingly rare, so If a suoscrlo-
er fails to get his paper the fault is not with
US, but with the postmaster that gives the
paper to some person other than to whom 1t
is addressed.

Several ladies IN the northern portion OF
the town were very much exercised over
what they supposed to be large meteor
passing through the skies last Sunday nlsht.
This supposed-to-be-meteor resembled a
large ball Of fire, and so excited was one OF
the ladies that it would have been dlhcu!t
to have told which was larger, the lady
ewes or the supposed meteor All attempts
to quiet her proved fruitless, as SEE was iai-
" convinced that it was precursor OF
something awful that would soon follow,
and her husband being away from the
house at the time she was afraid that ms
poor, dear body might come IN contact with
the .'big ball Of fire" or be buried amld tue
ruins OF the destruction it would soon make.
She was awfully worried, and her hair was
red with excitement. When she learned that
balloon had been sent up by little boy
that lives on Main street, and after being
convinced that the supposed meteor was the
same little balloon, and that her darling
husband was all right. she quieted down,
simply remarking that little boys should
not be allowed to send up balloons on Sun
day.
