The Scarcity of Postal Cards. The public has been gi eatlv annoyed during the past few months by the scarcity of postal cards. At this postoffice on several ^occasions the snpplv has not been equal to the demand, and Host master Fleming has sent to neighboring towns to borrow until his supply would arrive. But those to whom he would apply were in the same condition—without postal cards. The reader will not be surprised that the post-offices can not supply the demand when it is known that it now takes about one million postal cards a day to accommodate the country. The new contractor to whom the manufacture of postal cards was given several months ago, has been able to supply only an average of four hundred thousand a day. It is said that the eoinplaints, which are coming in more numerously every day, are causing the post-office department great embarrassment.

Au Immense Porker. — The hog which Messrs. Frank & Malott bought from Lewis 15eck was sent to Cincinnati last week.

Leslie Lamb received the porker at Cincinnati and was willing to put up that the hog weighed as above, but the Queen City buyers backed down, Leslie proved to them that Pike county tvas hard to beat on hogs. Beck is justly proud of this large specimen of ins raising. tjuery. ' ’ If a man of Petersburg does work to the amount of $25or $30 and agrees to take that amount in pork, why does he take his lard can to Oakland City to get it filled ? Si: RSfHiBV.it.
