Many boxes of letters are received at this lost Office not sculel, that is to say, the bat in fastened with sealing wax, but there is no im-' pression of s asal,

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boros with soma twognisable sal, and of sending a chit- book or receipt with them. The grissich, of the latter preonution leaves a doubt as to whe- ther the contents of the box vor reached the Post Office, the omission of the formuar, as to whether part of them zaight not have been sb. stracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps
