Christiana. Norway, June 10.-A
remarkable calm, accompanied by
stern determination pervades Norway.
Beyond the display of the new Norwe-

traits of the provisional governors in
shop windows, which attract small
crowds there are no visible signs here
that Norway is in the throes of revo-

A private letter was received yes

of this city, which stated that the
dredge was then on the dock and was
not injured to any extent, and that
the delay would not be longer than
two weeks. After being fioated the
dredge proceeded to the Brooklyn
navy yard, where she was taken IN
dock and an examination made. While
she was injured. the repairs will not
require much time, and the vessel will

LOCAL POSTOFFICE NOW
RATED AS FIRST-CLASS
OFFICIAL COMMUNICATION RE-
cEIVED FROM THE PosToFFIcE
DEPARTMENT TO THIS EFFECT.
COMMENCES JULY 1.

Postmaster Northup yesterday re-
ceived official information that the
local postoffice has been placed IN
the class OF first-class postoffices.
This is to take effect on July 1, &C
cording to the official information re-
ceived by the postmaster from Wash
ington.
The fact that the local Office has
been made a first-class office means
that the postmaster and number OF
the clerks will receive raises in sal
ary. The postmaster will, after that
date, receive $4,000 per annum, and
the clerks will also get raises. Post
master NOrthup has recommended to
the department that about rs per cent
of the clerks get an increase in pay,
which will no doubt be allowed. The
increase in the clerk and carrier
forces has been large during the year.
Four new clerks have already been
added, and another one has been ask
ed for, to be appointed on July l.
In order to become a frst-clasS
Office it is necessary that the sale OF
stamps exceed $4,000 in one year.
This does not include the money or
der business, but solely the business
transacted through the stamp window.
During the past year, ending March
81. the sales of stamps at the local
Office amounted to $43,260.36, and of
course this rated the Office as first
class.

Washington is as follows:
