AIX.

BY A FRIEND. Last Saturday was the day when the good thinking people oj Union and Barkley townships were disturbed by a set of toughs, that were under the influence of liquor. They first came to the post office at Aix and began to use bad language in the house, and were informed that it would not be allowed. From that place they took up their march to Blackford, and entered that place with jug in hand, and one of the most disgusting scenes followed that has happened in this country for years. The jug was passed to everybody in the house, male and female, and those that would not drink, the whiskey was thrown into their faces. Ladies were compelled to leave the office without their mail. Everybody was drunk that would drink. Men were drunk, and even boys from thirteen years and upward. Is this proper conduct to be allowed in a post office? Our answer is, no. Will the citizens of this neighborhood be impose 4 on in this manner?
