TOE PRIKCETOS POST-OFFICE. How a Stalwart Republican Superceded the Widow of a Worthy Union Soldier with a Large Family to Support. The Democrats who scoured the removal of Mist Mary Glezen from the position of Postmistress at Petersburg have done themselves and their party more harm than good. Miss Cileten is the daughter of a widow lady, her father was a worthy Unlon soldier, and during the time she has held the office has sought to serve the public to the best of her ability, and it is the universal testimony of patrons of the office that she has given entire satisfaction. She has treated everybody with uniform kindness, and endeared herself to the public to such an extent that her removal will be decidedly unpopular, and awaken a spirit of resentment, no doubt. Tom Fleming Is her successor, we learn.—Princeton Leader. The writer of the above was at one time poetmastet at this place. Who was it be superceded ? Listen, and we will tell you— the widow of a “worthy Union soldier,” with a large family, all girls, depending upon her for support. Mrs. Dorsey, the “soldier’s widow,” (torn whom A." j. Calkins wrested the postofflee, knew nothing of the undermining going on, until after Mr. C. had received notice of his appointmeut. lie is the last man who should shed crocodile tears over the removal of a “daughter of a soldier,” when he himself has been guilty of superceding a soldier’s widow, in the poktoffiee at Princeton.—Princeton Democrat. The News last week printed the above extract from the Princeton Leader iu regard toonr postofflee, but did not publish that'from the- Princeton Democrat, showing how the editor of the Leader took the place of the widow of a worthy Union soldier, with a large family, all girls, depending upon her for support. The Npws was careful to conceal that. The above is another case in point which shows the absence of love for the widows of Union soldiers when their places are wanted by Republicans. Their howling over the changes now being made, brings forward their inconsistency. • LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. Notice of Dissolution. The co-partnership heretofore existing between C. E.
