Heretofore, Dashwood has had a daily mail from Exeter, and also a daily mail from Parkhill. Exeter is only about six miles distant from here; while Park- hill is dour>le that distance. The carrier of the mail to Exeter supplied Sarepta and Hay post offices, while the Parkhill carrier supplied Mount Car- mel and other places on that route. Tho Exeter mail has been discontinued and a new contract li.'as'lieen made for the Parkhill route, so that hereafter all mail matter for this place will have to come by way of Parkhill. This will cause much inconvenience to the busi- ness men of this place, as it will take three days for a letter to go to London or other outside points and to secure a reply, whereas when the mall to Exeter was in operation one daywas 1h' ie st ihci.nt for this. There is no doubt but the importance of this village and the large business being done here, it toll better until accommodation than it will now receive. What the post office depart- ment should do is to run a mail twice a day between Exeter and Dashwood, and transfer the Parkhill route to Shipka instead of to Dashwood, thus giving Shipka and the offices served from that route a direct daily mail. An arrangement of this kind would cost very little more, if any, than the present one and the people would be very much better served. This is what the people here should agitate for and they should not restcontent until they get it. tairRovz;atExms.—There are few places in this part of the country that are making more substantial progress( than this village of Dashwood. Every stranger who visits the place is struck; by its neat, prosperous and active ap- pearance, and the numerous new build- ings being erected. Among these, is a handsou>e new schoolhouse which, whenn i completed, will be a • Zf 1 , credit the village and a standing momen to to the intelligence and enterprise of the people. It is beautifully situated in a convenient part of the village, on large grounds commanding a splendid -view of the surrounding country, and surrounded by a neat fence. The build- ing is of brick with stone facings and has on it a nice tower, in which will be •t bell. It is two stamps and will have four large airy, bright class rooms, besides a large hallway both down- stairs and upstairs ; also a spacious and comfortable play room for use of the children on wet or cold clays. The building will be heated by hot air, and tunple provision is being macre for suitable ventilation, a most important consideration in a school. It will also be provided with the most modern desks and seats and all other necessary eq ti ments of the most modern kind. Mr. Henry Willem has the- contract and he is rushing the work to fiitve the building ready for occupancy at the close of the holidays. Next to the new school house in .Brussels it' will be the best school building in the county for its size. The people of •.Dashwood are proud of their new School building and they have good reason to be.—Another fine building fn course of erection is the new hotel, being erected by Mr. )dosser. This is a two story building of brick, and will be fitted up with every modern con- venience for the comfort and accom- modation of the travelling public. The rooms will be large and airy, and there will be ample accommodation for both the local and commercial trade. It is being erected on the • site of the old hotel, and when completed will be one of the most complete and comfortable • hostleries in • the county. The Messrs.
