HORSE.
Windsor March 2.--The attention Of

called to the condition of the horse
| driven by the government mail carrier
between this place and East CRANKY.
| The agent of the society says that the
horse is not fit for use and has taken
it from Its owner. The mail carrier
claims that the compensation which he
receives from the government at Wash
ington is not sufficient to support him
self and family, to say nothing of keep
