ond time during the past few weeks the
public schools of Dublin have been shut
down on account of the prevalence of

their appearance in the city and yes
terday the Board of Health again or
dered the schools to close, this time in

description. 1t is believed that by ap-

mild form, and no deaths from it have

Albany Herald: Two thousand, two
hundred and eleven bales of the fleecy

which is nearly 1000 bales more than

his remarks. gave assurances that ru-
raj free delivery as an adjunct 10 the
postal service of the United States has
come to stay. 1t is no longer an eNper-
imcnt. said he. The practical benefits
OF the system have been so well dem
onstratcd that it will be extended and
will become not only n permanent. but
one Of the most important features OF
the postal service.
Mr.. Hedges also predicted that in

jects connected with the postal service.
These are the postal telegraph, parcels
