Yesterday Miss Ger- trude North, who has been the post- mistress in that office for a number of years, forwarded her resignation to ‘Washington to take effect at the con- venlence of the postal department. Miss North has given universal sat- jsfaction and her resignation is the cause of much regret among the townepeople. She has other plans in view, but declines to tell what they are at present.

J., June 29.—Twenty-seven of the twenty-nine members of the Fifth Regiment band of Paterson have been dismissed from the service by New Jersey National Guard officers here since they sent an ultimatum demanding $34 a week each for their services.

Transportation will be provided you, and I order you to turn in your equipment at regiment headquarters in Paterson by 6 o’clock tomorrow evening or warrants will be issued for your arrest. .The name, Fifth Regiment band, must be erased from your drum head and you must never use the designation again. You're a disgrace to the guard.” This was the first official instance of the troops came to the camp here. Probably 100 other men, most of them wmarried, have left the guard, after ylelding to the entreaties of their wives and fami- lles to avail themselves of the ruling made by commanding officers to grant leaves to all married men who desired them.
