of the postoffice that the council would
submit proof refuting certain state
ments made in the Echo of Feb. IS.
The representative of the Echo, who
was present at the meeting, believes
the refutation failed to refute, and is
perfectly willing that the matter should
rest without further comment. The
town was we'll represented at the meet
ing, and the question is thoroly under
