,rr immediate knowledge. we have heard 1t
declared by persons of unquestionaole vera
.;.,, chat letters have been denied to them
when. at that very time there was one or
more of such in the post-ofiice for them.
This. of all others, the most provoking act
ot carelessness, and one likely to involve the
most serious and disastrous consequences to
the community, has repeatedly been com
mtted by boy of perhaps twelve or thlr-
teen years of age,-who. as we have be-
fore stated, can with difficulty read the di-
rection on the face Of letter-and who is
intristed with the very important duty OF
delivering letters and papers. Does not this
fact look like "want of attention to his 3u-
siness," on the part of the postmaster!
How far he is remarkable for general ac-
commod aton," is thing OF but little con-
seouencc:-nothing more is required OF him
than his duty as public officer; yet, we be-
lieye, if that was called in question it


would fall as far short of what the rules of
etiquette prescribe, as his conduct as func-
tionary, lacks the duty required of him by
the laws Of his country.
