The postal authorities at Boston
have new wrinkle that works great
deal of trouble for the merchants and
manufacturers OF this city. 1t is the
way they are sending part OF the Bos-
ton mail here every day. Each morn.
ing they send part OF the mail for
Barre out Of Boston over the Fitch
burg division up through Bellows
Falls to Burlington. where it is put
on board of the train leaving that
city for Barre at APO p. M, in a
closed pouch. Thus it does not ar
rive here until after the last delivery
for the day is made, and so has to lay
over in the post office until the next
morning. This wo uld not be so bad
if the train was on time, but as it
frequently happens, it is so late that
the mail upon it is not distributed
until the next Il orning, So that no
one, even by taking the trouble to 60
to the office, can obtain bis mail on
the same day that it left Boston.
A case in question happened the other
day. 4 letter was mailed in Boston
Monday at 4. p. m. and did not reach
this city until p. u. the next day,
but too late for delivery so that it was
really s a. m. of the second day when
it was delivered. Any one can see the
annoyance it subjects person to
when the mail is SO late.
There does not seem to be any good
reason why all the mail from Boston
for Barre should not be sent oui over
the southern division of the Boston &
Maine as it always used to be. This is a
question for the Barre Retail Merch-
ants Association to take up and bring
about change to the old order of
things. II for any reaSol the mail
cannot be sent out on the train leav-
ing Boston at 9 q. m. then let in be
sent out on the train going north to
N H., so that it can Come
over on the Wells River train arriv-
ing here at 555 as that train is sci.

Flcs are TIE natural prey Of spiders,
yet, strange to SAY. there. are in Rravi,
some Ales which prey "n spiders. These
daring little Insects DO not differ much
from ordinary hies.
They are hylnenoptera, and pepsis
ornata is a typical insect of this kind
They usually come upon the spiders
when the latter are unprepared and
sting them to death.
A spider after being stung once has
generally sufficient strength to hide in
turf OF grass, but his shelter proves
only OF temporary service, for the pitt
less ny soon returns and completes its
work by singing the helpless victim

W. F. Adams of Seattle. Wash, re-
ceived two kilograms the other day
while at Meridian which mark an IN
usual coincidence. One telegram was
from his daughter, Mrs. NJ. S. Water
man, in Seattle, announcing that she
had just become the mother of twins,
a boy and girl. The other dispatch,
which arrived within an hour of the
preceding one. was sent by his daugh-
ter, Mrs. NJ. f. Atwater, in Baltimore,
who announced that she had just be-
come the mother of twins, boy and
girl. The newcomers on the Atlantic
coast and youthful cousins 5000 miles
to the westward came into the world
on. the same day and almost at the
same hour.

January was a point lower. Liquidation bn January had some effect on the maj ket but DO decided change seemed possible. The stocks here are now II 2. 900 and up on the delivery pr non-delivery of this cotton hinges the course of January. All this will not be known until next week and perhaps not then. With holiday yesterday. figures on the move ment were not forthcoming, but 1t looked like more in sight than last year at this time. This is likely to prevent free buying until spinners see whether the movement will increase. If the compar son last year keeps up for a few weeks the market is likely to show the effects by break according to Lancashire spinners mills with some g. 66O 900 spindles have been run at c loss of S25.- 900. Then. too, spinners have more cotton than a year ago. We can't see our way clear to advise buying cotton at this moment When the situation locks r ght and the ma ket be- gins to move 1t will be evident to you as 10 any one There Is nothing to induce buying or selling at the moment Continue to take profits on every advance and only buy on good breakx.

Most of the demand was due to the readjustment which is usually made after 6 holiday. especially if the next business day happens te fall on Friday. The banks very generally marked up their loans today. and although one two minor trans actions were reported in time meney, most of the bank supply was invested ia call loans.
