Perhaps few persons know that
we have bad two appointments OF
postmaster for this city within few
weeks, but such is fact. The first
one was the appointment Of "A solid
democrat, an earnest advocate OF
tariff reform, Joseph b. Driver. OF

Darlington Democrat and Register.
The Brodhead Re9ieter complains
that Norwegiaus who come to that
place and get drunk are put IN the

bloUds Of the city are not treated in
the same manner. We guess the
same condition of affairs exists in
other places AS well Ar Brodhead.
