Whnt the rcasons aro for this deluy, vvo cannot conccive, us tbey li;o boen mailed ovory weck oxcept. two, siuco the 13lh of' April, regularJy. It woulil not appear so strange ifthcy Bliould bo de];iyed i'ur ono week only, but we are informad they are sometimos detained ior tlireo weeks at a linie. Tliis is sufficient evideoce that eemething is wrong that should be remediad. One complaint would cali fui' atteution but whon tbey aru frequent thcy cali loudly for redress.
