DIE HOLIDAYS.—The gay and festive
times usual upon -the return annually of
Christmas and New Year's day are rapidly
approaching. In the stirring words of the
old song, though it "comes but once a
Tear," it most certainly brings upon time's
dusty wings to all "good cheer." Holiday
Gifts add much to the happiness of those
who give and to those wI:M receive them.
Such presents are treasured up in the
heart's memory and are preserved fir years
as bright spots in the pathway of one's hap
py life. Those who contemplate making
presents should consult the columns of the
Daily Intelligencer for the best places to
purchase them, and those who have articles
for sale suitable for presents should adver
tise them in our columns. They will in
that way secure prompt and ready sales
from a good class of buyers who cannot be
reached in any other way. We trust " a
word to the wise" is sufficient to prompt all
such jest where their real interest lies. The
intelligencer is daily sought for and eagerly
perused by thousands. This cannot he tie-

OUR JOBBING DEPARTMENT.—We have

RECEIPT STAMPS.—SOIIIe disctl ssiun
has arisen in Philadelphia as to the person
who should pay for t he stamps upon receipts.
The law is that when a receipt is Lriven for
money payments over F 520 it shall be sunup
ed, and a penalty is leviable, and actually
has been levied, O,r the omission to perfeet
the receipt. In whi•nro Wl' have
copied this system, the recipient' M . the
money invariably supplies the stamp re
ceipt. The same principle has been a rite•O
by the Philadelphia Board of Trade. I:14M
"the ground that whatever May he the re
quirements of the common l.'nv • commer
-11,41ge and right dentand that who
ever receives value of any kind rroin an
other is biliind to furnish the grantor a
feet, legal voucher and evidence of sae!, ,le
livery by him. The latter is bound iii Tar
nish the same with the stamps :dwelled
necessary to give it validity under the law
at his own expense:" consequently receipts
for freight money should be stamped at the
expense of the party to whom payment is
made, that receipts given at railroad sta
tions on delivery of freight for transporM
lion should he stamped by the railroad
company, through receipts given by trans
portation companies or lines should be
stamped at the expense of the shipper ; re
ceipts given by consignees to railroad emit
panics on the delivery of merelnualize Is ,
stamped by the consignees; given at the
ship's side, called mate's receipts, be stamp
ed at the expense of the ship ; bills of lading
be stamped at the expense of the shipper.
RAILROAD ACCIDENT.—On Thursday af
ternoon, a man named Super, was killed
at White Hall, on the Pennsylvania Rail
road, under the following circumstances: a
car loaded with lumber was about being
put upon the siding, and Mr. Super, who
was a bliieksmith, was assisting ; the ear
was poorly loaded that the lumber rocked
from side to side, and while the car was be
ing pushed to its place, the lumber came in
contact with a telegraph pole arid was
knocked off the ear, striking Mr. Super on
the head, and he fell under the car, which
passed over his breast, and nearly severed
his right arm from his body, killing him
instantly.
AN APPEAL.—We are requested by
Mrs. Huber, on behalf of the Ladies Super
visory Committee, to make an appeal to
the citizens-generally, but the ladies more
particularly, to aid the Fair, to be held for
the benefit of the Union Fire Company. it
is alleged that it is impossible to send circu

BIBLE SOCIETY ANNIVEBBLEY.—The
49th Anniversary of the Lancaster County
Bible Society took place on Sunday 'even
ing, in the First Reformed Church, (Rev.
Mr. Kreruer's,) East Orange street. Not
withstanding the inclemency of the weath
er, there was a large congregation present,
and the services were opened with a chaunt
by the fine choir of the church. Rev. D. P.
Rosenmiller, President of the Society, pre
sided, and the preliminary services were
conducted by Rev. Messrs. Kremer, Rosen
miller and Carrow. The Annual Report,
which will be found in full below, was read
by Rev. Mr. Sigler, of the Union Bethel
Church, after which addresses were deliv
ered by Rev Messrs. Bigler of the Mora
vian Messer of St. Paul's Reformed, Hop
pe of Zion's German Lutheran, who spoke
in German, and Barker of St. John's Free
Episcopal. The services were concluded
with prayer by Rev. Mr. Powell of the
Presbyterian Church. A collection was
taken up for the Society, and the sum of
$2.Mr2 realized.
REPORT OF TII E LANCASTER COUN
TY BIBLE SOCIETY FOR 1864.
A detailed account of the work done since
the last annual report cannot be expected.
While it might he interesting, it is impossi
ble to write it ; the record of the good ac
complished through the agency of this or
ganization is only to be found in the hearts
of those who have been led to embrace the
truth, and in the Book of God.
This report will necessarily contain items
which would properly belong to the last
Annual qteport, but owing to the exciting
cireumstances which engaged the public
mind, together with the many calls made
by the state of the country, it was deemed
ads kable to hold no anniversary meeting
last year. In the meanwhile, the former
I're- , idcnt Rev. 1. S. Du non d,remov ing from
our city, the operations of the Society have
in a measure been suspended, not that the
necessity was any the less for spreading the
precious truths of God's word. Not that the
Society has lost its influence for good, but
owing to the increased demand for liberal
ity and labor in another field, the work has
however is-en progressing slowly.
'During the past year we have lost one of
our elder members, one who was esteemed
highly as a Christian and 'a citizen, and
whose heart was knit with the interests of
Christ's kingdom, laboring in this depart
ment of the work with known fidelity. Ile
was elected Vice President of the La neaster
county Bible Society on the 25th of No
ember, and was continued in that a
lit, until his death which occurred on Sab
bath the 13th or November, ISti-1. The Hon.
I.:. Schaeffer is no more—a servant of God
call,l from labor to reward.

Major Howell deserves a great deal of

and when he's drunk lie always pitches his
wife out of the window and sends the tea

backs, he says, he is as good a man to his
family as you could possibly desire. This
being the case, we hope Mrs. Toogood

didn't send her a brute for a husband, such
as some poor women have got."
OIL! !—Read the advertisement of
the West Virginia National Petroleum As
sociation to-day's paper. Those 'wishing
to invest their surplus cash in Oil lands can
see the inducements held out by this com
pany.
Vcrinart HEATS:Ea.-4n these wintry days
we all eagerly seek the best means of keep
ing out the cold. Coal stoves are a great
institution; a very decided improvement on
the old-fashioned wood fires, which kept
our forefathers busy turning themselves
like geese on a spit to keep the side turned
away from the fire from freezing. But in
Well-regulated houses stoves have nearly
had their day. The most pleasant and
economical method of warming a building
is by means of one of the improved Vulcan
Heaters, which will render any number of
rooms comfortable without the inconveni
ence of keeping up more than a single fire.
The sole agents for this city are the enter
prising firm of Deaner 6: Schaum, Copper,
Tin and Stove Dealers, No. 7. East King
street.
To SALERATIIS EATERS.—At a late con
vention of dentists it was asserted that the
main, if not the sole cause of the great in
crease of defective teeth was the use of sale;
rams and cream of tartar in the manufac
ture of bread; and Dr. Baker fully agreed
with the facts offered in proof; adding the
result of some experiments made by him
self. He soaked sound teeth in a solution
of saleratus and they were destroyed in
fourteen days. We have the opinion of men
whose talents, time and zeal are given to
dentistry, that saleratus and cream of tar
tar in bread are a chief cause of ruin to
teeth. Now will those who know this fact
go on eating all that comes in their way
without inquiring what it is made of?
Fr It l' AS moss.—The once despised mink,
taking rank only one step higher than the
musk rat, has got into such high favor from.
its close reseniblanee to the Hudson Bay
sable, that importations of the genuine ar
thde have been displaced to a large extent,
and now the American sable takes the pre
cedence in comparison with almost any of
the rival furs. Stone-marten, Melt, squir
rel, &c., are less inquired for. Success win
ning popular favor, results in this ease
mwth :is it often does in the higher walks
of criminal life, and whole communities of
the mink creation have peen brought to sor
row from the iffeets of excessive adulation.
In other words, the demand for mink has
tended to surfeit the market, so that prices
are now about t wenty per I,lli. lower than
they were last year. I i styles, Own, is no
essential change, cSecpt that the cape leads,

A NEW WRINKLE IN Tit F, FAsnuf.Ns.--.
Ann mg the mane queer turns which fash
ion takes is the recent introduction of sq uare
buttons, an article with which the ladies
plentifully trim their'locks and dresses.
These buttons are 1)r sizes np to an inch
square. The hunt tat is the big button,
about the size of a square or a checker
board. A little while ago and the rage was
sperical buttons of three-quarters of an inch
diameter, gilt or silvered. and with these
they trimmed their "Lfaribald i bodies" amt
their vivandiere jackets in lavish pi, dus
i,,n. Like gilded apples they formed rows
down the fronts of the jaunty-looking cor
sages. Now the globe hn• buttons are out
and square ones are in. They are of all
materials, pearl, ivory, jet, silver and gilt,
and they cost a price dear enough to satisfy
anylicKly. We don't know that square I att
tons were ever before in fashion, though
fashion as a general thing is constantly re
producing itself.
The reporter of the Philadelphia News
says that he saw a few days since, at the
houSe of an extensive importer, a case of
ladies' belt buckles. They are of the widest
dimensions, and carry a ribbon fully three
inches wide. They were worn in the times
when ladies' Waists Were located but a few
inches below the amilla. They reltlllilled
unsold When the fashions ,hangu,), just
twenty-eight years ago. They were then
packed up and consigned to a garret. They
were recently reproduced for sale, and were
taken by the retail trade with such rapidity
that in a little while but a few remained.—
The buckles in question sold at a price
sufficient to pay twenty-eight years' interest
on their original cost, and leave a very
h a nd s o me profit beside.
TITE HIGH PRICE (iF El4W.l.—The pause
of the rapid advance in the price of eggs is
somewhat a mystery. We can understand
how oil stocks may be down to zero to
day and at the top of the list to-morrow,
but the late violent fluctuations in the egg
market are something we cannot under
stand. They sold yesterday at thirty-live
cents a dozen, "on account," as we heard a
woman say, "of the rise in gold." We
don't know who to blame for the rates
' which now rule in the market, the hens or
their owners, but certain it is that the prices
which our housekeepers are now asked to
pay is in the highest degree extortionate.—
Oh, for the days of yore, when butter sold
at 12415 e. per pound, eggs at 10c. per dozen,
and meat at 100312ic. per pound. Then
sthere would lie sonic chimes for poor folks
like printers, getting through this world
without n resort to rye co&e, a hard crust
of bread and no butter. Those were "dis
loyal" times, however, and it is almost
treasonable to think, let :ilonc speak about
them.

How Our Breadstuff Trade is Falling Off.
Prior to the breaking out of the war
in which we are now engaged, the
South furnished the great staples which
formed the principal exports 'of the
country. ll \‘:l, Ihe rice
and the toimeco of the Southern States
which alone enabled us to keep the
balance of trade anywhere near even.
With those great staples we principally
paid for our imports. Qur export of
breadstuffs was a considerable item, but
only a very small one when compared
even to cotton alone. Under the ex
hausting process of the war, which has
made so vast and continuous a drain
upon the able-bodied male population
of the country, our production of bread
stuffs has seriously declined, and our
exports have greatly fallen off The fol
lowing table, taken from statistics fur
nished by the Agricultural Bureau, will
show how our breadstuff trade has been
declining under the exhausting process
of the war, which is diminishing our
productive power to an alarming ex
tent :

The sum total of our exports is very
meagre indeed, and deprived, as we are,
of the great staples which have hereto
fore made up their chief bulk, the bal
ance of trade is so enormously against
us that it is hard, indeed, to tell how we
are going to pay for our imports. lii
looking at the figures of the foregoing
table, it must be remembered that the
three yearsjust passed have been years of
more than ordinary , productiveness in
proportion to extent of the land under
eultivation.
We have received definite intelligence of
the expedition which General Grant sent
south from his camp on Tuesday last. Gen.
Warren commands the force, • which con
sists of two divisions of Warren's corps,
-one of Humphrey's, and Gregg's cavalry,
The expedition marched south along the
Jerusalem road, crossing Hatcher's run,
and on Tuesday night reached the Notta
way river, eighteen miles from Petersburg.
This stream was crossed on a pontoon,
which was so quickly taken up that a great
number of stragglers, who could not get
over, Were left on thenorthern bank, where
they were discoverrd by the cavalry recon
noissance that Grant afterwards sent to
Stony Creek station, and on Tuesday and'
Friday last were brought back to the camp
at Petersburg. The main force, under com
mand of General Warren, after crossing the
Nottaway river, turned southwest, and on
Wednesday night reached the Weldon rail
road, south of Stony creek. They then
marched south along it, destroying the roads
as they advanced. On Thursday morning
they were at Jarrett's station, thirty-two
miles south of Petersburg. On Thursday
afternoon they were reported as. still ad
vancing, and were said to be near Hicks
ford, forty-seven miles south of Petersburg.
Hicksford is on the Alehervin river, and
here some opposition was expected. It is
about eighteen miles from the North Caro
lina line, and forty miles north of Weldon.
G railt*s expedition is about fifteen thousand
strong, and is doubtless intended to capture
Weldon, destroy the railroads centering
there, and then return. The Confederates
are evidently preparing to attack Warren.
All day on Thursday last large bodies of
troops could be seen moving front their
southern think, down toward Stony creek.
This would place them in Warren's rear.
We have heard nothing of Warren's ad
vance. Since his reported arrival at Hicks
ford our news all conies 'through Southern
channels. The noise of a battle was heard
on Saturday from the Federal camp at
Petersburg, in the direction of Hicksford.
The reconnoissance that picked up War
ren's stragglers lost one hundred and
twenty-five men. It did very little good.
The country about Petersburg, owing to
the recent peculiar weather, is covered with
The various indications of a contest on the
north bank of the James has disappeared.
The negroes sent to the south side of the
James, opposite the Dutch Gap canal, keep
very quiet in their rifle-pits. No effort is
made to reinforce them. The Confederate
gunboats are in the Jantes, just above them,
and they seem unal de to do any thing. The
I - lewletl I louse batteries shell the canal as
etThctively as heretofore. The negroes have
entrenched themselves on such low ground
that they cannot be hit.
:onerai SherlllalfS column ,Waellated
Millen on the night of December 2nd. He
I,egan his march directly for Savannah.—
His column kept well together, scarcely an
expedition being sent out. He marched
slowly. on the 51h—Monday of last week
--his advance was eighteen miles southeast
o f Millen. Ile was still moving forward at
last accounts, turd on Friday last there were
rumors in Richmond that on Wednesday
he was but forty miles northwest of Sav
annah. This would malp him thirty-eight
miles southeast of Millen. There is no
definite intelligence of this further advance,
however. We have no FICIVIs: from i tenet-al
luster's co-operating:column. It is still in
ti •nclird on the north side of Broad river,
mier rr or the gunboats.
A despatch from City Point, dated Dec.
I it h, says that the latest- news contained in
the Richmond papers of yesterday, Decem
ber loth, from Sherman, says that, on the
tli inst., lie was cast. of the Ogechee, twen
ty-five utiles till Savannah, moving on
that place. on the filth he had marchr,l his
army eighteen miles.

It has berm formally announced that the
exchange of prisoners MIA been transferred
from Savannah to Charleston, and, in ac
cordam.o with an agreement between the
commissioners of exchange, the Federal
bombardment of Charleston ceased On Sun
day week.
General IZA,seerans wits *removed irrnn
the command of St. Louis turd Missouri on
Thursday last. His successor is General
Dodge. No new cornmand is yet given

The damage which has been done to the
Dutch n ;tip ( 'anal, by the'continued shelling
of the Cmifederate batteries on thesouth.side
°Nine James, has at length compelled a
Federal movenient. On Wednesday last a
brigade of negro troops was sent up the
James a short distance above the canal, and
embarked on pontoons. They crossed over
and marched down the southern bank until
a point opposite the canal was reached.
The I '4:tifed:.rate sharpshooters were
driven oil' and the negro,a began en
trenching. During the night a ride pit was
dug, and on Thursday morning the position
was secure. - Very few - men Were killed or
wounded on either side. As the Confeder
ate force was successful ill stopping labor on
the canal, by breaking the drudging ma
chines, it is now to be seen whether ;rant
will replace the machines and renew the
labor free froni molestation. The Confeder
ate iron-clads moved down the James on
Thursday and came within range of Dutch
Gap. Up to Saturday, however, 110 hostili
ties had occurred,and the Confederates made
no attempt to drive the negroes away.
The various reports of a general advance
of (;mitt's southern wing toward
Stony n 'reek Station , lilt the Wel
don Railroad, which have been pre
valent for some days are at length confirm
ed by definite intelligence, Warren's Corps,
one division of Humphrey's, and Gregg's
cavalry began a southern march on Wed
nesday last. They nurrehed down the Je
rusalem road and crossed the Nottaway
River on :n pontoon bridge. They are now
cut off from communication with' Grant's
army, and have not been heard front for
some days. This advance is directly south.
Its object cannot yet be ascertained.
We . have some , intelligence front the
Shenandoah Valley. Gen. Sheridan will
attempt no movement south from 'Winches
ter this season. He is now at Winchester
in his old camp. Ile has about fifteen
thousand men. Three of his bri;_pnles were
sent last week to rein three I :rant The Con
federates south of Winchester make no de
mnnst•ations. They have recently removed
the rails from the railroad between Manas
sas and Gordonville, in northern Virginia,
and carried them to Richmond.
At Nashville the condition of affairs is
the stone as usual. Hood is still laboring
on Ins earthworks. It is reported that rein
forcements are lacing sent to Thomas. 'roe
detachment of troops that held Johnsop
ville, but were forced to evacuate it and:re
treat into Kentucky, were terribly har
rassed in their march. Thirteen are re
ported killed and wounded and sixteen
captured.
The latest report of the losses at the recent
battle or Franklin make the Federal 14,..:4s
nearly twenty-two hundred.
There is nothing new from Sherman's
army. It is almost certain that he is march
ing on Savannah, and that Foster's advance

very near the Savannah River, was intend
ed to make a

The Effect of Example
In the village of Herkimer, last week,
three boys, having no doubt read of the
desolation of the Shenandoah Valley
engaged in " playing confiscation," as
they termed it. They entered the house
of one holy who was absent from home
for a week or two, and spent the most
of two whole (lays in destroying and
mutilating everything within reach.
They ripped open and broke in pieces,
sofas and chairs, broke bureaus and
mirrors, went down the cellar, taking
all its contents in the way of pre
serves, molasses; vinegar, etc. up
into the front parlor and there spread
ing them out on the Brussels car
pet and mixing them up with flour,
meal, feathers from the beds, and al
most every imaginable thing in the
house. They took'n p handfuls of butter
and lard and threw them over the walls
:111(1 furniture, and in fact exhausted all
their ingenuity to perfectly destroy
everything they could end. They then
proposed to " confiscate" two school
houses, entering throhgh a window.
They took down the large maps,
tearing them and throwing them into
the fu mace, broke the school room lamps
in pieces, poured pails of water in the
melodeon, broke the locks from the doors
and did other damage to a large amount.
The story they told of the crimes they
had committed and those they had
planned for future operations, including
the murder of Mr. Champion, the
school teacher, for which two of them
had provided themselves with pistols,
is too awful to be believed of boys, two
of whom are not 12 years of age and the
other only fifteen years of age.—S,yra

HOU . SE- - Alr. Stevens, I'a., ft, tin the 'tun
mittre of Ways and Means, reported back
the joint resolution explanatory or,. much
of the internal revenue act as referred to the
duty on segars, an abstract of which w,,s
printed on Wednesday morning.
Nfr. Brooks, of New York, said that the
Se, retaryt trt he Trt,tom ry had rerun, mended
the tax, 101,1 he new wished to know whether
the Ct amnittee of Ways and Means in tendcd
to change the duty tat tobacco.
Stevens replied that he hail given the
subject sonic consideration, but he did not
know what the eonclusion of the committer
would b.%
Arr. 131,,,k, snp;m•sted thnt the bill be
postponed r, a ro, ,htys for further ex-
ELUMERI!
Mr. Stevens replied that in the opinion of
those tiri,t inst. i noteil, the department lo , t
millions of dollar, ln• the construeinni
illti.111:11 reV,lllle.
Mr, Brooks said that in the opinion of a
large number of manufacturers it was quite
impossible, muter the principle or the law,
ever to have honest mannfacturing of ci
gars. The temptation was so great, the
duty so immense, ;ma the punish : mom so
severe, as to render it at !oust impossible to
preent frauds. By the Illeastlre now
In
fire them there teas no doulrt, trout the lest
talbralatiOn, that the best way was to at
tach a one cent stamp to each cigar sail 1,
and this woolil produce a larger rovaltine
than the principle in the bill.
Al r. Stev, , ns explained !hat all the I (n
-miltee had (lone \Va , to put a proper eun
struetiun on the law in contradiction to a
very erroneous liEWISSI(111 or t h e commis
sion,rs of Internal revenue.
Mr. Dawes, Mass., said that some of the
manufacturers hail stopped nearly entirely
in consequence of this very singular con
struction of the law. Pile construction went
beyond even the law itself: he thought
something more than a simple joint reso
lution was Iteeessary to I . ennsly the defects.
and he hoped his friend from Pennsylvania
would . be patient in clearing the salbjeet
which surrounds the subject.
Mr. Stevens then proceeded to show that
nine-tenths of the cigars uunttiicturedisince
Congress adjourned had paid but three in
stead of eight dollars a thousand, owing to
the construction of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue.
The measure pending was here repealed,
to give the proper construction to the law.
Mr. Brooks, expressed the hope that the
committe would take time 1,, consult with
honest manufacturers. in order to relllON'tt
the existing difficulties I.y as the Secretary
of the Treasury recommends a duty on leaf
tobacco, A duty on cirgars should be con
sidered in the same connection.
Ile repeated that experienced non had
advised a stamp on segars similar to post
age stamps, say one cent, as S fielding the
largest revenue. The temptation to smug
gling front t 'anada and elsewhere was now
irresistible. t rld stamped segar 100 es were
used in which to put new segars, and so a
stamp alone would stop this, besides realiz
ing the largest revenue. Attire suggestion
of Mr. Stevens the subieet was pe =st po ll ed
till Mondriv.
A message was rerei veil' from the Presi
dent reeomtnending that ('apt, Winslow
and Lieut. Cushing each receive a vote of
thanks—the one for the destruction of the
pirate Alahantri,.and the other for the de
struction of the rebel iron-clad Allsenarlo,
this action being necossnry, under the law,
in order that thew. (ileen , may he advaneed

They pray Congress to provide a remedy

in the petition concerned the finances of the

Mr. Washburne, of 111., was opposed to

James C. Allen, of 111., moved to recon

lution, which wag adopted, instructing the
Committee on Ways and Means to inquire
into the expediency of reducing the tax on

Mr. Thaddeus Stevens' New Project
The New York Evening Post is in
formed that Mr. Stevens, "the great
statesman of Pennsylvania," having
lost his gold bill, is about to introduce
another for the regulation of the
perature of this planet by means of the
thermometer. The leading features of
the new act are these :
Resolved first, That all the ther
mometers hereafter to be made of uni
form length and breadth.
Resolved second, That the degrees on
all thermometers be of equal interval,
whether the expansible liquid be oil,
mercury, spirits, or ether.
Resolved third, That all persons in
public office and all housekeepers, are
ordered to regulate their stoves and fur
naces according to the indications of one
of the official thermometers, and that
any person allowing almat of more than
sixty-five degrees shall be deemed guil
ty of a misdemeanor.
peso/red fourth, That the clerk of the
weather he instructed to dispense with
the differences of climate and of season,
until the temperature of the globe has
been able to adapt itself to the notions
of the Committee of Ways and Means.
Mr. Stevens says the Post , l in intro
ducing his new bill, will make as peech
showing how it is in analogy with the
conduct of some of the most illustrious
statesmen of all ages. There was that
ancient (Jreek sage, who wanted to drink
up the river to get at the moon ; there
was the noble I:'hinese chief, who beat
his gong during the eclipses, to keep the
dragon from swallowing the sun; there
was Philip the Handsome of France,
who used to raise money for his pleasures
by mixing copper with his gold, declar
ing the pieces of undiminished value ;
there were the puritans, of England,
who increased the virtues of women by
shortening their top knots ; there was
the great Mrs l'artington, who kept off
an inundation by swabbing it up with
her broom ; there were French kings
who used to prescribe how much each
01 their subjects should eat and drink ;
in short there any number ofdistinguish
ed precedents for both the logic and the
pract ices of the great statesman of Penn
sylvania.
Mr. Stevens, the Republican Premier
o f the House, seems just now to receive
deeper wounds from his friends than his
enemies—and yet we predict he will be
placed again at the head of a committee,
which is to originate, study, consider,
and report all the tax and money bills
brought before Congress.
Careless Writers
The report of P. M. General Dennison
shows an extraordinary amount of care
lessness on the part of the letter writing
community. Threemillion tivehundred
and eight thousand three hundred and
twenty-live dead letters were received
ri lig the past year--over nine thousand
a day. Many of these letters contained
money, deeds, bills of exchange, drafts,
(-becks, jewelry and other valuables.
Some of them were misdirected, others
not directed at all, others unstamped
and others only partially directed.
Thousand of these dead letters were re
turned to the writers; but the great
majority had to be destroyed. 'This
statement ought to teach the public to
be inure careful in their correspondence,
for the amount of suffering caused by
these lost letters is incalculable.
