An Example of
Poor Mail Service.

Pensacola is not the only city on
the map, after all, that has trouble
with Uncle Sans mail service, as the
following from The Mobile Register,
will show:
A letter that started from this office
through the postoffice to the Cawthon
Hotel, three blocks distant, has been
making short tour of Cuba, and has
just returned to the sender. The re-
markable fact is that the person to
whom the letter was addressed is
well known citizen of Mobile and of
state renOwn. and his full entitlements
were given in the superscription, and
then, in plain type, "Cawthon Hotter
The town name was omitted, probably
because it was first intended to send
the letter by hand. What made the
letter go to Cuba? Heaven knows
OF it went, however, November %
and soon got to Havana, where the
temporary government took it in
hand.Seeing "Adjutant General and
Chief of Staff" on the envelope, spe-
cial efforts were made to deliver il
in Havana, but, after it had made the
rounds of Havana, it was forwarded,
with the written instruction. TO Try
Lee Palace, Marianao." The trial
was made November q in that place,
but no one would acknowledge re
ceipt; so back it came TO Havana,
where it was duly advertised in the
papers One month later to the day
the red ink was brought into play,
and mo reclamado" was stamped on
it; also ''desconcido;" and, finally,
not known" And so we get the let
ter again, as being the only parties who
know what to do with it. We dare
say this is the longest trip a letter
ever made to get from The Register
Office on Royal street to the Cawthon
Hotel on Conception, and even now it
has not got there, nor will it; for it
must go to Montgomery, which is the
adjutant generals headquarters.

OBITUAR Y.

By the death of G. II. Witherle, which
occurred on Monday of last week, Castine
loses one of her most public-sp spirited and
influential citizens, one whom she will
find it hard to replace.
Mr.. Witherle, in his younger days, was
actively engaged in business as one of the
partners in the firm of w. H. Witherle &
Co. This was at the time that Castine was
at the height of her prosperity in the fish
ing business, and this company owned and
QUILTED large number of vessels.
Retiring from this he still kept himself
identified with town affairs, being mod
orator of the town meetings for the space
of forty years, and for a number of years
being auditor for the town.
He was deeply interested in things his
torical and his knowledge of those things
has been sought great many times to
settle some question. He had collected
large number of relics whose history dates
back to the early days of the settlement
of this vicinity.
While not actively engaged in business,
his influence was felt in many ways in the
affairs of the community, and always on
the side of right and justice. He was an
honorary mem Der of the G. A. R., and
