Pinney at the village meeting may be
acted on with profit at the starting of
free delivery. He spoke of the advis-
ability of having proper mail boxes at
the residences. OF course a tomato can
well hold mail as well as any receptacle,
but it does not serve TO impress a new
conner with profound respect. Salt
boxes and lard pals have been seen in
some cities. But it would be a COM
mendable plan for the village residents to
fix upon some uniform style, or nearly

we never had the mail delivery. Some

tastefully, undergone change of name.

afraid to show it.

City Delivery.

AT the annual meeting held Wednes-
day, January Goth, the village voted al
most unanimously to take action towards
the establishment of free delivery of
mail in the village. In order to secure
the installation of this system in our
community it is necessary that the
amount of business done through the
local postoffice shall exceed $4,000 a
year; that good walks shall be provided
all over the routes; that the streets shall
be designated by proper signs, and that
the numbers be placed upon the houses.
AS the village has taken the step to-
ward authorizing the village officers to
go ahead and make the necessary changes
and improvements, it would be super
fluous to indicate how the many advan-
tages of the city delivery system. Most
the mere name alone of having such a
system is an asset for Middlebury. But
spring will soon be here; and it is ex-
pedient that the village get prepared for
the installation of the system, so that
when the postoffice department sees fit
TO start city delivery we will be found
ready for it.
The necessary amount of business has
been done through our postoffice; good
walks we have had for years; but the
street signs as yet are not up. neither are
the houses numhered

Some of the towns in the State do not
seem to admire the protracted sessions
on town meeting day, when the voters
are obliged to sit for hours in perhaps an
unventilated or draughty hall and listen
to the report OF the business done for the
year. But if the time of town meeting
were limited it would be cause of dis
tinct disappointment to many jovial par
ties, whose whole delight is in Just the
petty contests engendered by the aspira-
tions of Mr.. John Doe, who seeks for the
honor of fence-view or Mr.. Hggn-
bottom, who is pining for the chair of
cobble-picker on the turnpike and moth
ing else will satisfy him. Think of the
delight of the populace in absorbing the
technicalities attendant On the dispute of
one orator who wants the "cornet band"
TO spend It's wealth in getting a new set
Of trousers, or the imprisoned utter
ances of another civic hero who insists

paper pansies to festoon the hose-room
with. Who could have the heart to take
this privilege from us; Never let the

it was worth little more for the State,
