TO OUR SUBSCRIBERS



We were surprised to learn late ON Wed
nesday evening that an order had been ob
tanned from the post office department
changing the leaving time Of the jackson
vile stage on Friday afternoons TO o'clock
instead Of o'clock AS it has heretofore
been This was done on the application
OF the driver Of the route on a petition
signed by all the postmasters on the line
except Postmaster Chlds Of Brattleboru
This change will prevent our subscribers on
tins line from receiving their papers on
FRIDAY night as they have done for so
many years past The schedule leaving
time OF O'Clock on Friday afternoons was
liked for the benefit Of the newspapers and
their readers aud il seems to us an unusual
proceeding that the change should have
been secured without notice to the parties
most interested More than this. with the
winter half gone, the DAYS frightening ap
preciably, and spring only two months
away there would seem to be small reason
Tor change at this time. the delay of two
hours occurring only four times in "A month
II the people most Interested are satisfied
with this arrangement, we have nothing to
say, but II they are not satisfied with it. it
Is their privilege 70 protest and ask for a
reversal of the order We shall be- the
more sorry 10 have our readers deprived Of
their rights m this respect because We have
always been at great pains n catch this
