In our rove of the mail service between Vernon River and this city, published on Saturday, we omitted giving due credit to Mr. Robert Crabbe, the contractor, To him is chiefly duc the great suceess in that service. During the past seven years Mr. Crabbe, as contractor for the service between Georgetown and Charlottetown, as well as Vernon River and Charlottetown, has not failed in any res- pect togive the greatest satisfaction to the

ple residing at both places, as well as aleng the route- The courtesy shown by him an his driver to passengers has caused many to regret the expiration of his contract. We might here mention that during the fulfilment ofthe contracts the postal authorities were mover obliged to fine him, and that he always kent three or four stage horses for the route. We hope the present contractor will continue the service and give as good satisfaction as did Mr, Crabbe,
