Ma. Emma :—Why is it that since the
roads are again open and easily traversed,—
that the mails due after time and day are nut
carried and delivered--aceording to contract.
When the unexampled snow drifts had com
pletely blockaded all the country roads and
rendered them utterly impassable, it would
have been captious in the extreme and unrea
sonable to make com:ilaints.. But now glitz°
that formidable obstruction has been over
come, the citizens of the village of Mammas-
Arg and parts adjacent, we think, have abun
dant reasete tier publicly expressing their an
ru,sta,kao;e aisagprol e atioa and giving. utter
ance to loud complaints against the contractor
fur the non-delivery of the mail on Saturday,
the :list day ,of January- Is the place decal
iFyi s o insignificant lal itself and the small num
ber of letters and mailable matter thereat dis
tributed, that the contractor /nay with im
punity -"assume the responsibility" of pasfling
.over the day and the hour s.nd consult "my
, ClNrn ease at nine own init." We seem to
think that a wilful breach of obligmi,nl on the
part of tt public servant, although it may af
fect only a small number of the lieges,—is
per 4e a dereliction of duty ad much so as if
larger and more favored places with daily fa
cilities were aggrieved. The disappointment
in places where the service is weekly Ur semi
weekly is attended sometimes with serious
c , mseluenecs, actual loss7a and is more keenly
telt.' IVith every kind feeling fur the indi
vidual charged with the service, we hope sin
cerely that no default hereafter will occur
calling fur anima,dversion. A SUFFERER.
