It contains three pages of a leaflet and has the picture of a coat of amis at the top of first page. Mr. Crocker reluctantly permitted the use of it for publication. Thia is something quite out of the ordinary, and we trust you Will glv 11 apace in yuur vaiuoun r. paper, following is a mvi nvltatloD! "1638 Bpofford Bponora lao.

Tbe trouble lie In the fact that the business of tbe nation ha Increased far beyond the facilities for haudling it. The agent seem to be doing everything In bis power to serve the publio right, but finds it Im possible to do so. Saturday, when I requested that he put ou a force of men sufficient to move tbe plied up f pod and give us ours, be replied that lehadno authority to spend a nickel to accommodate the public.
