FROM OVER THE RIVER. ie The sun now rises and sets at, 6 gb o'clock and soon darkness will creep ill upon the early evening and make it us anything buit pleasant to wait for the late daily mail from over the river. There is somethiing evidently irregu )e, lar about the mail we refer to ; for in stance, the mall leaves Jiaversville at ay 12 o'c!ock, reaches Benlomond,. directly tu. across the river from Providence at 2 at p. m., having traveled the 8 miles it h- two hours. The bags are generally ier delivered at the Providence postoffice or after 5 p. m., sometimes a little sooner. tip Now, what puzzles our people is this. no If the mail can travel at the rapid rate qe of four miles an hour between Mfayers re. I lle and Benlomond, by what rule tat does it require three hours to cross the river to Providence? It. would be a much greater convenience for our busi of ness men to recieve their letters anti papers at 3:3,. which certainly could be readily done but for the long lay over every day at Benlomon1l. It may be that the maii's -arrival here,' is on what is called schedule ze time; if it is, the schedule should be ig changed in the public interest. ne ad A GOOD THING. Through the indefatigable exertions of Mr. T'. J. Father:ee, the telegraph operator at this place, we have now - thei signal service flags hoisted daily at he the head of the flag staff over the ry Firemen's Hall on Lake street, in ac on cordauce with the weather reports as p° they regularly come every day. There sh are five flags used in telling the ex e peceled changes, and each one is hoisted ie several hours as a warning, in advance "O. of the anticipated change in the of weather. No. 1, or the white square at flag. indicates clear or fair weather. ad No.2, a square blue flag, means rain. ud No. 3, half white and half blue, indi Ld cafes local rains. No. 4, a pointed black flag, tells of the temperature; ur when placed above No's. 1, 2 or 3, It lli- means warmer weather; when placedl li beneath either one of them, it indi ti- cates colder weather. No. 5, a white ad flag with a black square in the center, II, tells of a cold wave coming. or The value of these reliable warnings some hours in advatnce of the expected dd changes are of very great value in this nd section of county. The cultivation of on hs ;is becoming an important factor A in the agricultural affairs of our par ke ish, andie increasing in extent every of year. To cultivate it successfully, Score it properly and save it in prinme ~u condition, a close watchfulness of the r~i. weather is of the last importance. ~s How valuable then must the signals he we have described be to the hay mak ai.er alone not to reteiont cotton pickers lesi ad persons engaged in the various purstits of life. The United States Signal Service dince its introduction ae has saved numerous hlves tas much Ise money, by sea and laud. %e reli en ability of the signals are liget ques in tionred, beeuse it is very ra they re tJall to be fully' verified. Itb regard it- the introduction of the signal service i- waraings into Providence as a highly og important movement in the march of ty. progrges, and think Mr. Fatherree is at eatithid to great credit for the pnblic t-Ilpirit behaedasplayed in the matter, ni .d the community it beyond doubt he indebted to him, and to him alonre, for this valuabletdvanred step.
