John Brown, and his crew of field
assistants are about through with
surveying the exterior boundaries of
the city of Jackson. At the fore part
of the week they had put in 16 full
days on this work, and it was thought
that two or three more days would
finish the field work. There will then
remain the plat and official notes to
be made out, which will be attended
too by the surveyor himself, and
will take some time before being
completed.

l.. f. Stinson, who for less than
two years has been running the ANA
dor Record on lease, and has been
resident of Sutter Creek for that
period, has made application to be
kappoInted postmaster for that town.
The Ledger is informed that the
people generally are astir over the
affair, and are taking steps to
counteract the movement. The pre-
sent postmaster is lifelong resident
of the town, has given satisfaction in
the manner he has conducted the
office. Why he should be dispossessed
to make room for a comparative
stranger is not easily understood.
