Upper Falls, 18th District.-What has got
ten wrong with the postal arrangements On
",
this Office until the afternoon mail On Sat-
urday, oath inst, it did not come at all and we

arrangements of the rural free delivery system.
The publishers are not to blame as the paper
leaves the Office every week on time.--EDs
Allow me to express my appreciation OF
your brief notice of the late execution" at
Towson. You merely stated that it had taken
place, without entering into details. This is
step in the right direction. The public is not
at all interested in knowing how the condemn
ed felon looked or felt; whether he had
hearty meal of ham and eggs, or of beefsteak
and coffee, or whether someone offered him
cigar as he began his march to the gallows.
All that concerns the public is to know that
the sentence has been executed and that can
be stated in very few words. May other pa
pers follow your commendable example.

one of the most useful men in the community
as be could put his hand to anything. AS q
neighbor and friend he was kindness itself
and he will be sorely missed for many day.
His funeral took place from his late residence
at Upper Falls and he was buried IN the Pres-
