In 1890 the last lrost occurred on

in most orchards in this locality.
In 1891 frost occurred OH March
18th, which damaged the fruIt crop.
and on April 5th and 9Th, which

less; from 81 10 80 miles the charge
was 10 cents from 81 to $50 miles I2l
cents from 15I 10 400 miles I82 cents,
and over 400 miles 25 cents.
These rates were in force until 1545,
when Lysander Spooner, of Boston,
decided to run mail route between
Boston, New York, Philadelphia and
Baltimore,in opposition TO the govern
ment. lie commended that the govern
ment bad no constitutional right to
prevent by law private individuals from
carrying The mails, so he established
his route, charging cents per letter.
The legal part of the question seems
never TO have been decided. But con-
gress appears to have reduced the post
al rate chiefly to avoid competition.
The rate was as follows: Under 500
miles 5 cents over 500 miles 10 cents !;
drop letters cents.
This rate held tor six years, when
the Scent prepaid rate for 5000 miles
was established. IT the postage was
not prepaid, 5 cents was collected
from the person who received tho let
ter. For distance over 5000 miles
the rate was doubled.
In 1883 letter postage was again re-
duced, TO 2 cents per half ounce. aud

For many years the Methodist,
Presbyterian and Baptist Sunday
schools have been meeting together
every three months to review the
lessons OF the previous quarter.
This plan has been found TO pro-
mote interest in the school lessons
and good feeling among the Sun
day-schooI workers. All of these
schools use the international Sc
ries,o and consequently each school
has the same lesson every Sunday,
making the united review very
practical. The place of meeting for
next Sunday will be the Presbyte-
