The Boston Hoconlor, in censuring the very

tlements, ef naming new towns after some fa
vorite character* or after some old established
town, gives the following curious facta In
looking over the list of post towns in the Uni
ted States* we counted 7 Charlestons, 8 Huring
ficlds, 0 Chester*, 9 Coluinbias, 11 Middle
towns, 11 Salems and Id Washlnttons. In 0
hio they carry this fashion still further. In that!
single state there are 7 towns by the nameof Sa
lem, 8 by the name of Urecn, 9 Jeftersons, 9
Madison's, 10 Waynes, and 13 Uii'...ns t besides
n multitude of less frequent repetitions. It is
needless to comment upon the inconvenience and
perplexity which arise from this ridiculous cus
tom. We know of froquent instances in which
letters and bundles, Intended for Charlcttown,
(Mass.) have been sent to Charleston* (Si C.)
5ltd jtave net reached their owner till months af
er they xVcre due, and until the contents had
lost nearly all their interest. Such mistakes in
the case of mercantile men, must be frequently
attended with heavy losses. This ctmoni Is.
therefore, a serious evil to the community. and
sotne method ought to be devised by which its
fature progress ipay be prevented. Those who
have'the naming or new towns ought to remem
ber, that the compliment they pay an old settle
ment by adopting ite name, is a poor compensa
tion for thtombarraament which they entail up*
