POST OFFICE REMOVAL.-Post Master Wood has just completed his new building 
on Franklin Street, which he has planned and constructed expressly for a 
Post Office. A large addition has been made to the number of boxes, 
corresponding with the increased demand, and the plan for delivering 
letters is most convenient and accessible. The Post office will be removed 
on Monday and the public will only need to test the new arrangement, which 
is good in itself, and creditable ??? ?? the project and the ????.

SLOW MAILS. The mails to Ozaukee, Sheboygan, Manitowoc and upper lake ports, 
now go by horse conveyance. If they could be sent by the boat, the cities up 
the lake would get their mail from here the same day, instead of from one to 
three days later as by the present arrangement.-Milwaukee News. 
We are glad that the fact stated by the News is being made public, and are 
satisfied that if our people should stir in the matter, our mail arrangement 
would be innediately improved.

Kellnersville news:
We are in a very backward condition in regard to mail matters. Mails come 
here once a week, on Friday, at 11 A.M. By this arrangement, we receive our 
mail (Co. mails excepted) one week behind time. Probably the Post Office 
Department thinks that Franklin has not a reading class within her borders. 
But this is not the case; we read "Grattan's Famous Reply to Corry" and 
others too numerous to mention.

as Postmaster and will soon receive his commission and enter upon

or should have been appointed had the claims of the staunch workers 
in that party been properly considered.
