AS TO THE MAIL ROUTE.

This village was agitated somewhat the latter part of last week by the advent in- to it of a mail contractor who made 1t his business from Thursday noon to find some responsible party willing to agree to carry the mail from Warren to New Milford and return daily, from the com ing July l. On Saturday afternoon. the party was found and the necessary legal papers executed. F. Gray the mail con- tractors agent, left town for Morris on Monday. It seems by competition dur ing the past 12 years, the above route has been bid off and taken at altogether too low figure. By the talk of ex-car- riers it is concluded that the contract has been losing one every year. Recently on account of changes of time on the Berk- shire division from Great Harrington to Bridgeport, whereby the stage leaves Warren and here one and quarter hours earlier in the morning than formerly, the present contractors assert that the re- ceipts have materially lessened, for errands, passengers, etc. In this case it seems that the cutting close competition has been disastrous and we hope the lesson may prove beneficial to all inter- ested parties. Competition may be to a certain extent well. Beyond that it may prove to be ''the digging of pit and falling therein" oneself.
