All right, gentlemen! the more !the mer rier -A political correspondent of the 'Oemo cruti' organ says that every citizen who claims a home under the it t u,de flag should be protected in the enjoyment ofequal rights. Probably the "triune flag" means the Rebel thi,g of three stripes. A large portion of the Democracy once claimed a home under that banner; bat we didn't suppose ithey would remind us of the fact at this late day. Marple, formally years Rector ci tit Paul's church in this village, has been i'iting his old friends here during the past week. He held services at the church morning and evening last Sunday, preaching to i.— That arrangement lasted -a couple of days,' and was then discontinued, 'and the mails sent by the ,Northern Central Road, reach ing us from Troy. The result was 'that cor respondence which should have been hers Thursday did not reach us until Saturday. As the mutter affects. nearly - every resident of the county, we detail below the exact cause of the dead-lock, as we understand it. The President of the Fall Brook Compa ny, acting in concert with the Tioga Rail road Company, recently notified the Depart ment that those Companies declined to carry the mails over the Blossburg and Corning and \Velhboro and Lawrenceville Railroads at the rate offered, fifty dollars . per mile.— For the lines between Corning and Bless burg and between Wellsboro and Lawrence ville they asked seventy-five dollars per mile for twelve services each way per *week per annum. The Department replied that the returns submitted by the Companies rendered indis putable the propriety of assigning their roads to the third class of railroad mail routes, and that to routes of that class the maximum rate of pay allowable under the law is fifty dol lars per mile per annum. The law makes it the duty of the Postmaster General to ar range railroad routes in three classes, accord ing to the size of the mails, the speed at which they are-carried, and the frequency and importance of the service, and fixed the .maximum rates of allowance for the several classes at S3C) per mile for the first, $lOO for the second, and $5O for the third, allowing an addition of ?fi per cent. if one-half the • service on any route shall be required to be performed in the night season. Thus the. law imposes upon the Department the duty; of classifying the routes ; determines what I facts shall be used as a guide in the perform-' ance of that duty, and prescribes limits which it absolutely forbids-the Postmaster General to transcend in allowing compensation for the several classes of service. The first feet required by Outlaw to be considered is th% 11"v.e.of the'ronils, because that deterniines the amount ef.poltAl revenue on which the Gov ernment mainly relics,todefroy ,the cost of the service. - _ - In ,cartying mit the intentions:of the law, it is found by returns obtained upon a uni form plan, from nearly all the railroad routes in the country, that the .average,-;weight of mails conveyed over routesi receiving $5O per mile is about 200 pounds per day,. and of routes, receiving $75 about 500 .pounds- per { day, A discrimination.* is, made in - favor of roads' carrying the lesser quantities, but V , e'ft'' being paid, where the amount carried 6, °vet si. and ono-half tons per day,..,' ,On the main route between ..Corning and;BlossbUrg the average is 225 pounds, to Morris - Ann 41 pounds, and to Arnot2s pounds, making-the average of that main route and branches 194 pounds per day. On the route between *ellsbare - end Lawrenceville - the average amount is 120 pounds .per day. In view of these facts, the Department announces that the Government cannot, in any event, under the law, allow any excess Over the rate of $5O per mile per annum. During the corrlespondenee on the subject the companies hate insisted on $76 per mile for two services eh way per day between Blossburg and C ! ning and ,Wellsboro and ef Lawrenceville. o far as the people of this ! neighborhood ar concerned, we are sure ' they would be entirely satisfied with one ser vice each way per day. As recently ar ranged, we received a through mail at - ten! . o'clock at night, and the return throUgh Mail, 'left at six in the morning, and not one in ten: of our citizens ever went to the post office between those hours. If the people of with valley can receive their daily mail by the morning train and send it out by the after noon one, we believe they will be amply ac commodated and fully satisfied: We trust some arrangement of this sort will be speed ily made by the Department and the .*om- panics, for, as the snail arrangements—or rather disarrangements—now are, some por tions of the county are cut off from all postal communication with the rest of mankind.— As we write, we learn that an agent of the ! Department was expected at Corning yester day to make some arrangement, if possible, ' for the resumption of the service by the rail roads. It is certainly to be hoped that his efforts to that end may meet with immediate success.

FIRE IN CHATHAM. - Editor Agitator: The barn of Ashley Short, of Chatham, was consumed by fire Sunday evening, Sept. 15, between the hours of 9 and 10. It was a first class barn just erected the past season. The property consumed therein consisted of four horses, two double harnesses, single harness new buggy, Utica wagon, new fanning mill, , together with all Mr. Short's hay, grain, and farming implements. One span of horses and the buggy were the property of his brother G. W. Short. There was no insurance on these. Mr. Ashley Short had a slight insurance on his property. The brothers snstained a heavy loss. , The tire was the work of an incendiary. IMPARTIAL POLITICAL OBSERVER.— Mr. Eddcw: The ti, , ,•43 political - Parties, like two steamboats going up - Hudson River, are under full headway. We have : regular, weekly meetings, with good speakers! end., Grant and Greeley, Hartrattftand Buckalew, are of course thoroughly sifted. By theway, - there is touch valuable InfottizetiOt to be derived by our young men froth these gath erings. I like to listen to a good speech, no matter if it is not very orthodox..

And-he. mu4.be a brainless fool who cannot appreciate the ser vices of President Grant_ But I think the signs of the times are clearly in favor of the re-election of the Great Soldier. Our Gree ley friends don't knew what to make of the recent avalanches from Vermont and Maine. " B. F. T. • Death of John Fox Mr. John Fox died at the residence Of his son-in-lavi, Mr. A. 06 Witter,'Eit Troy, Fri day evening, Sept. 13th, after .an illness of about two months. His health had been fail ing for a number of years. Having become blind from cataract or the eyes, he went to Elmira to be treated by Dr. VpDeGraff, and after reco',,vering somewhat from an operation he returned on his way home as far as Troy, stopping at Mr. Witter'sio,rest a few, days, and he was there suddenly. confined to his bed. His condition from the first, was such as to give but little promise that he would ever recover. He received .every care that an affectionate family and many friends could give to snake him comfortable. Ho was seventy-one years of age and one of the first inhabitants of Mainsburg, having come 'here forty years ago last' February. He at once opened a store, the first _one Over kept in this place, and he,rernained in the mercantile business until two years ago, when his age and declining health oi:impelled him to retire. During these forty years of his residence here, many changes have taken place; one generation nearly _has passed away and another. One, grown up. Many have come and many gone. What was but a Oece of low swamp land, covered with logs when Mr. Fox came here is - now the land on ,'which this pleasant village stands; the .wilderness around here has been changed in to ii rich and beautiful farming country., _ During - isll this time Mr. Fox had remained= steadily in his store, gaining friends, confi dence and esteem, and never losing..any of them. .He was easy with-his creditlys and a benevolent man. Said ttia . dy f4hen our family suffered, for food in early times, because my father spent his earnings for whisky, we could always ask Mr. Fox with confidence, and he never hesitated to help us." He has thus spent the important part of his life here, and is widely known and highly respected by all. His remains were brought to his home here on Sunday in a rich and appropriate casket, arid-:the funeral was held his residence Monday, the 16th 'instant. I was conducted by Rev. Isaac Everett of the M. E. Church, to which Mr. Fox adhertql. He will be remembered as an honest man, a good citizen, and consistent Christian. • - -FRIEND.
