/ The Bosrog Posr OFFIce.--Some OF the papers
in this city complained of the delay at the Boston
Post Office in forwarding the Hlbernia's letters
Mr.. Hollenbeck, the mail agent, who was there
when the mail arrived, and who assisted in as
sorting and getting it in readiness for the first
Southern mail, assures us that it was only accom-
plished by extraordinary exerions on the part of
the clerks in that office. There were upwards of
one hundred thousand letters for the United
States and the Canadas; being the largest mail
except that brought out by the Acadia in 1910,
when she put back in distress, and came out with
two monthly mails. 1t must be borne in mind
that there are other important mails to be de-
spatched, and other duties to be attend
ed. which prevents placing the whole force Of
that office upon the New York and Southern
mail matter, to the exclusion of every thing
else.
Every thing was done that energy, skill, and
perseverance could accomplish-all, excepting
few of the miscellaneous, and not business letters
were separated, and made up for this and the
Southern cities, so that no delay was occasioned
on arriving here, but forwarded by the Southern
mail the same merning.
