We are sorry indeed that our aged
friend, Henry Taylor of Vallc Crucis,
Is critically ill and at tiiis writing j
j (Wednesday) he remains unimproved j
| and all are fearful that he will not
| recover. He is suffering no pain
whatever and it seems that his great
age is the cause of his precarious
condition. All are hopeful, however,
I that he may yet recover.
On last Wednesday the mail carrier^-a
Mr. Builin, robbed the mail
between Jefferson and Todd. He cut
ypj pouches and told the postmaster
at EJ&Ulwin to inform his people that
"they would not see him any more
soon, and left, as he thought, for
good. However, he was arrested the
following day and is now. we are informed,
in Jefferson jail. He was
beastly drunk when the crime was
committed. He got but very little
out of the mail, but it will he a
costly job for him before he gets
shut of it.
After March 20th there will be a
daily mai! route from Boons to
Stony Fork, which will virtually give

to a Virginian who gets the handsome

of 9,390 miles for this sum and bear
his own expenses. "What fools some
mortals be."
