Lots of folks want the Jcnction but can't afford it (though you will get quite a decent list after all), and then they are dubious about getting it,, if they subscribe; and this brings me to the main subject of my letter. The whole county is alive with indignation about the outrageous manner in which they are treated in regard to postal matters. 'They can place no dependence upon the mail whatever. Our venerable Uncle S. has provided that Cache Valleyans shall have" a tocroi weekly postal service. ' Twice a "week the mail carrier makes a trip back and forth throagh the mountains, but often returns either with arce? a" j'V'ng in the sacks, or with letters anU papers that should have arrived . a month or six weeks before. Letters mailed hore are often a month or more going to Salt Lake City and sometimes telegrams are received here about letters that never come to hand at all. A letter for this place, which your correspondent posted in Ogden more than a week ago, was in one of those mail sacks which took up so much of the little space in the sleigh in which he came through the mountains. State newt is the literary food upon which the unfortunate people here have to regale, when they can get any. A short time since, Hon. P. Maughan, Jleprcsentative from this county, wrote a letter to the, Deitret 'Evening complaining about this grievance, and t, the Jckctios alee touehed upon the from which it appeared that the blame lay between Ogden and Brigham your correspondcity.

He became posneased of the idea that there was a fortune iu the business," aud his dream has been realized. This quarry of state pencil stone was situated in a large ravine, four miles north of Castleton, Vt., near Bomoscen Lake. The' land on which it was situated was for sale at one hundred dollars. He purchased it, and began operations by sawing out the pencils an4 whittling them rouud. L . . ( , The business of making them grew immensely on his hands so that it was impossible to keep a clean order book. Machinery was invented to facilitate the process, which has reached 'something like perfection, and enormously increases the production of pencils. At present the quarry and mills are owned by a joint stoek company. They are valued at three hundred thousand dollars. From fifiy to one hundred thousand pencils are turned jut daily, and upward of a hundred hands are employed in the , quarry and in the mill. . After the stone i quarried, it passes through four processes before it is made into pencils. It ti sawn into rectangular blocks five inches by Boven, and split by hand into slabs of tho same length and breadth, which are carefully assorted. These slabs pass through a machine which shaves them all to the uniform thickness of a quarter of an inch, when they are ready for the final process. The machinery for reducing these slabs to pencils, consists of iron plates fitted to receive them, fastened to an endless chain which passes over rollers at either end. . ... These plates, of which there are about twenty on a chain, each receive a slab, and as it passes from one roller to the other the pencils are cut and rounded out half way to completion by knives; a dozen different sets of knives being firmly fastened above serai-circul- tli em. ' The slabs are then OGDEN CIRCULATING LIBRARY e e ' ; ' , C The following joke is told on a popu lar conductor on one of the railroads leading out ojf the city.

It would be much better if the connection were made in the evening, for the mail from the west in the morning, brings but very little for tho folks in the northern country, and it would be preferable for that little to remain till evening at the Switch, to allowing the larger and more important mail to remain till next morning. The chief blame lies, evidently, with the mail agent on the C. P. line, for I learned at Willard, that lately the mails for San Pete aud Washington counties have frequently been thrown out at Bonneville, and have found their way up to Willard; while their mail has gone to Jericho, or some other eastern clime. This is a very serious evil, and a remedy should be at once provided. Will not the special mail agent from Wasliing-to- u be kind enough to interest himself in this matter, and earn the gratitude of all northern Utah?
