that the line should be doubled and

Wants a Night Stage to Bethel.

Editor of The Age:
1t is talked that the Woodstock
and Bethel stage may be stopped. If
it is done, it will be against the
wishes OF all living on the route, and
it is hoped that vigorous protest
will be .made to the government
against it being done. Nothing is SO
pleasant tor those living on the
road as to see the stage 90 by each
day. Then it is SO convenient to
ride on it at times. The mail is now
left each day at the door.
In one respect change can be
made for the better. Now one gets
his mail halt day late by the stage
if they don't send to the postoffice
for it, which is not convenient for
many.
If the stage started from Wood
stock at 5 o'clock p. m, then they
would get their mail on time. Why
cannot the change be made?

ton in 1859 and bought the S. p.
Peck drug store which he has since

ventions.
