ed and proved an enjoyable occasion.

A petition, addressed to the Super
intendent of the Railway Mail Ser
vice, asking that the fast mail train
south, in the morning, No. Z, slow up
at the Ironton station for the delivery
of mail from that train, was circlated
among our people last week. As it now
is our mail is hurled from the train
when it is running at a speed of forty
miles or more an hour, and often,
very often the sacks are torn, ground
under the wheels of the train, and the
contents badly damaged, if not abso-
lutely ruined. 1t is a condition of af-
fairs we have too long born with pa
tience. 1t is to be hoped relief will be
forthcoming.
