                          ~~~~~~~~~~

Newbern, Jan. 20

Mr. Samuel Gerock is appointed Post Master at this place in the room of
John S. Pastuer, "deranged".

On Saturday, the 14th instant, the following letter was handed to the
subscriber. In a future number, perhaps our next, it may not be necessary 
to make a few remarks on it, when "an essay towrds a statement" of the
causes which produced the letter will be attempted.
                                        J.S. Pasteur

Sir,
Believing that the public interest will be promoted by the appointment
of a new Post-Master at Newbern, NC I have accordingly appointed Mr.
Samuel Gerock Post-master at that place, to whom, on the receipt of
this, you will please to deliver all the Post-office property in your
possession, taking his receipt there-for if you desire. You will also
forward your accounts with this office, up to the time when you deliver
over the office.
                           Yours,
                                  Gid. Granger
