LETTER BOXES.
Many boxes of letters are received at the Post
Office not sealed, that is to say, the box is fastened with sealing wax, but there is no impression of a seal

TRA MUSTERS.
Persons who send Musters of Tea through the Post in Tins are requested to have them made Bat or square instead of round, as it is impossible. to pack round tins securely in the mail bag. It believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so lable as round ones to be bulged in. 4 by 3 by 1 inches is suggested as a good sire. The tins should not have sharp.
