Mail Failure
We had uo mail fioiu Camden on Monday

Ilia law now iu force fur the support of sol

io consequence of Ihn eahanced piiee of

number of dastilue families to be provided
for. It is eiprclsd, therefore, that this aula
jest will eng'ige the attention of the ueit
legislature.
It has been suggested through the publie
