her place till his appointment by the de-
partment, which will doubtless be made
soon. The post Office has already been
removed to his house, its former location.
Things to bear in mind sometimes :
That two-thirds Of the people do not live
In the cities, that eighty-two out of one
hundred of our families have no ''ser-

was P. T. Barnum. the Snowman.
