On last Friday afternoon the
young ladies of the Erode.phian
society of Albany college held a
"Special Autnor" meeting, at
which the writer of this had the
good fortune to be present.
The author to which the young
ladies devoted their attention was
Shakspearo, and the. play upon
which they founded their com
ments! criticisms and essays "The
.Merchant of Venice."
This play they have been study
ing under the direction of Mrs. O.
S. Pollock, Teacher of elocution
and literature in the college, anil
was a matter of surprise and con
gratulation to note the wonderful
advancement of 'he students !
under the instruction of this ac- j
complished lady. j
While all of the exercises were!
highly meritoiious, it is but just '
that, special mention be made of :
the essay entitled "Character!
Mudy Portia," which was admit- I
ably written and read
with
much
grace and ease by Miss Anna Flinn. j
Also of the work of Miss Flora i
Mason, entitled "Gohho the After- I
math." Miss Mason-drew son e :
beautiful les.-ons from this un-:
promising character, which were i
clothed in graceful and uppropri-1
ate language. ' j
The young ladies next take no j
the tudy of "Macbeth." holding i
their ".-oecial Author" meeting :
every two weks, with a
neous programme everv
misi-ella-alternate

What is Being Done w Improve its Pres
ent Miserable Condition.
T'c following efficial corres
poudence has passed between our
representatives in congress Mr.
Binger Hermann and the post office
department concerning the change
in the mail service from Lebanon
to Albany. It will be seem that
Mr. Hermann is doing his utmost
to wake up those slow coaches ot
reform to the necessity of reform
ing our mail service. He fays he
is endeavoring to have something
done, ud done soon Nj relieve us.
and the following will disclose to
our readers the difficulties he has
to contend with :

Railroad Companies preforming sini

The rate of compensation is based
upon the average daily weight of mails

route not less than six times a week.

These rates, however, are subject to - a
reduction often and five per cent, as
provided by acts of July 12, 187fi, and
June 17.1878, and, in cae of land grant
roads, to a still further reduction of
twenty per cent.
