Post Office D e pa rtjient, Nov. 4, 1841. Sir To the duties assigned you by any for mer instruciions, as special and cotifitleniial agent of this Department, I desire to add thai of strictly observing the manner in which the Post Offices are kept in ihe section and along ihe lines of route you may be called to inspect and travel. The Post Master General eipecls that every Post Office, whatever may be its importance, shall be attended lo or supervised by ihe depu ty postmaster. The praciice which, I regret to learn, has obtained in many poriions of the United States, of one man holding the commis sion of postmaster while another discharges its duties, must be stopped ; and when such cases fall within your knowledge, I desire that they shall be made the subject of special report. Great carelessness in the opening and keep ing the mail in insecure places, and permitting persons other than ihe posimasier or his Own assistants, to have access to the same when opening or after it is opened, has been chargedj in general terms, upon many of ihe small towns and villages. This evil must be corrected, and when you have evidence of the fact, it is ex peeled you will make it known to ihe Depart ment, that the only efficient remedy may?bc applied. I will not continue in office those who will not themselves give their time and atlenlion to the discharge of its duties, orwho violate or suffer violations of the t rules of the Department in opening and distributing the mail. -v? Jt is also desirable that youbserve ihe de partment of all carriers and drivers of mails', and report any misconducUarising from wilful negligence or carelessness and inattention, lo their employers and loathe Department. Many complaints have been made against the agents or traveling postmasters on railroad routes ; you afeexpecled lo observe the con duct of -such as may fall within the range of your supervision Information has been communicated to this Department that drivers and carriers of the mail on the more distant and more unimportant routes, are in the habit of carrying letters in violation of law, thereby lessening the income of the Department. As this may be done in ignorance of the law, you will inform and in struct ihe contractors Id charge the carriers and drivers not lo violate the law in this partic ular. The act of 1823, "section 20, directs lhai all carriers shall deliver such letters, whether sealed or unsealed, lo the first Post Office at which they arrive afier receiving ihem, and ihe postmaster is directed lo rate and charge the postage. If you become salisfied that any Post Office is not of public utility, and not required for ihe public accommodation, you will report thai fact and the reasons for the opinion. Upon the acfive exertion and vigilant super vision of the special agents of this Department, mainly depend the regularity, security and effi ciency of mail transportation, and I cannot too slronnly impress upon you the imparlance and hinh tesnonsibiliiy of your stations. It is to you I he Postmaster General must look for ac curate mformaliou upon all subjects pertaining lo ihe out-door operations of the Department, Give me your efficient aid, and do not despair of making the Post Office Department eminent ly useful and popular. Very respectfully, C. A. WICKLlFFE. Neither Green xon Ground..

WAYNE COUNTY MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY, ALL Persons insuring in this company are members equally interested in its welfare and in the election of its officers. In order to become a member of this company and thereby be insured, the applicant gives a pre mium note, the- amount of which is in proportion to the amount to be insured, and its degree of hazard, thus: If $1000 is to be insured, at 5 per cent., he gives his note for $50. If at 10 per cent, he gives his note for $100, and in that proportion lor a greater or less sum, according to the rate of hazard, on which note he advances (5 per cent, and an'additional sum of $1 50 for survey and policy. He then becomes a member on the approval of his application and is insured for five years. The aggregate of the premium notes constitutes the cash fund, chargable first, with the expenses, and second, with the losses of the Company; and should it prove insufficient to pay both losses and expenses the money to meet the losses, (should anyoccur) is borrowed agreeably to the act of in corporation, and paid. An assessment is then made to repay such loan upon the premium notes, in proportion to their respective amounts, and in no case tdjbe made but once a year, notwithstanding several losses may happen. At the expiration of five years the note, if any assessments" have been made and paid, is given up, and the insured may renew his application. Policies may at any time be. assigned or sur rendered and cancelled, and the premium notes given up. according to the by-laws of the Com pany. No .Inore than three fourths of the cash value of dhyA property will be insured, and all great hazards: such as Cotton Factories, Powder Mills, Distilleries, Machine Shops, Manufactories for Prlnter'sInlr, and all establishments of the same class of hazards, arc not insured Upon any conditions whatever, and that no one risk is taken over $5000, it is considered much more safe and less expensive than in Stock companies, where they insure large amounts and hazardous proper ty J ISTOGDELL STOLES, Agent.

BENJAMIN TOOK. Stroudsbnrg, Oct. 18, 1841. A iATUItAJL ISJEIJIEBY, Sailed to our Conslilulions, and competent to the cure of every curable disease will be found in the INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, ,OFTIIE ft'orlli Aisierie:ii! College of Health. THESE extraordinary Pills are composed of plants which grow spontaneously on our own soil; and are therefore, better adapted to our constitu tions,tban medicine concocted from foreign drugs, however well they may be compounded; and as THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS are found ed upon the principle that the human body is in truth SUBJECT TO BUT ONE DISEASE, viz: corrupt humors, and that said medicine cures this disease on NATURAL PRINCIPLES by cleansing and jmrifying the body; it will be man ifest, that if the constitution be not entirely ex hausted a perseverance in, their use, according lo directions, is absolutely certain to drive disease of evory name from the body. When we wish to restore a Swamp or Morass to fertility, We drain it of the superabundant wa ters; in like manner if we wish to restore the body to health, we must cleanse it of impurity. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS Will be found one of the best, if not the very besl medicine in the world for carrying out this GRAND PURIFYING PRINCIPLE, because they expel from the body all morbid and corrupt humors, the cause of disease in an easy and NATURAL MANNER; and while they every day GIVE EASE AND PLEASURE, disease of every name is rapidly driven front the body. The above named Indian Vegetable Pills, have been three years before the American public; and we can now say withont fear of contradiction, that of all the various medicines which have heretofore been popular, not one has given such universal satisfaction, or obtained such a permanent hold upon the affections of the people. Not only do all who Use it invariably experience relief, and re commend it in the strongest terms: but it has ef fected some of the most astonishing cures ever performed by medicine. Hitherto, very few of the numerous testimonials which have been received in favor of this extraor dinary medicine' have been published, as the med icine obtained its present great celebrity more by its own intrinsic goodness than from extensive ad vertising. It has been deemed proper however to offer the following opinions of the public press, together with a few extracts from letters of Agents, merely to show, that the fame of the Indian Vege table Pills, "Is not confined to any one section, but is rapidly extending itself to every part of the Union. From the Philadelphia Saturday Eccning Post. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE TILLS. Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills are attaining great celebrity in New England as well as other parts of the United States. The attempt of per sons to defraud the' public by-the sale of spurious articles, iriects wiih general reprobation. Mr. Wright is an indefatigable business man, and shows an array of cures by the medicine which warrant confidence in the virtues of his Indian Vegetable Pills. From thfc rKiludelphia Spirit of the Tim'cS. THE INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS. People arc pretty well satisfied by this time, that Calomel, and the other thousand and one min eral preparations of the shops, are better adapted, as a general rule, to kill rather than cure the pa tient; as a matter of course, vegetable medicines are therefore in great request. There' are very many humbugs, however, among the latfer, and we would advise all those who have the least re gard for their health, to try the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS OF THE NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OP HEALTH, sold at 189 Race street, Phladelphia ; as they are the preparation of one intimately acquainted with the healing art. From the Boston Daily Times. INDIAN VEGETABLE TILLS. Of all the public advertised medicines of the day, we know of none that we can more safely re commend for the "ills that flesh is heir to" than the Pills that are sold at the' depot of tlic North American College of Health, No; 198 Tiomont street Boston. Several instances we know of where they are used in families with the highest satisfaction; and no longer ago than yesterday, wo heard an eminent Physician of the city recommend them in high terms. There used to be in the community, a groat repugnance to the use of QUACK medicines, as they are all indiscriminate ly termed, but it was mainly owing to the regular ft I. D.'s constantly denouncing them. They aer however, becoming more liberal in this respect, and the consequence is that good vegetable medicines are now more extensively used than formerly. Extract of a letter from Peter Christ, Uniontmvn, Carrol County, Mil., Nov. 17th, 1838. Dear Sir: About two months ago,- T had busi ness in Baltimore, and called at your office, an. I bought a few boxes of the Indian Vegetable Pills; and upon trying them I found them to be far supe rior to Pills, or any other medicinal had ever used. I had been subject to a cough for live1 years past, and during the time have taken a vari ety of medicines Without any relief, until I got the Indian Vegetable Pills, and by taking four doses, the cough began to leave me; and I now etijoy bet' ter health than I have done for years past After I found them to be a valuable medicine, I imme diately sent to Baltimore for a large supply. I .have received so much benefit in using tlic .Y DIAN VEGETABLE PILLS that I cannot help but recommend them to every invalid I see and think so well of the medicine that I have seat two dozen boxes to my invalid friends, in t!ia State of Indiana.

Mr. Wm Wright Dear Sir On being appoint ed Agents for the sale of the INDIAN VEGE TABLE PILLS in this place, we only look one gross on trial; but it would have been belter if wo had taken a half dozen gross; for on a fair trial they have far exceeded our most sanguine cxpertc -ttons. In fact so much so that we have been oblig ed to send to ftlr. Zimmerman, at Lancaster, more than a hundred miles from here, for ten dozen; but these will last but a very short time, the way vwe are selling them since they hive been fairly tested. In the first place, I gave some' to our Physicians, to make trial of since which they have purchased a number of boxes, and highly approve of thenu A few days ago, there was a lady sent 30 miles toge-t a box of the Pills, she at the time was very low, and unable to turn herself in bed; hut in two days, my informant says she was ablo-to help herself. We could mention many other cases, but deem it unnecessary at this time; but would merely sav, that as the season is fast approaching when there will be a great demand for the Indian Vegetable Pills; raid if wo only could get a supply of the med icine, we could establish other agents, which wou -1 bo of immense advantage not only to the NORTH AMERICAN COLLEGE OF HEALTH; but : the public generally.
