The Dead-Letter ONCE.

The story of Adca Barron, published in
recent number of the 4 nickerbocker, which
turns upon some missing letters, has brought
TO mind an incident related by Frank Gran
gcr. MS having occurred while he was at the
head ofthe post Office department. A letter
was one day received from postmaster OF Il
town /; New Jersey, enclosing letter yer!

oyerit, indicating that II hHd been for u Tong
umc placed in Tue paper or card rack of some
bar-room or shop. The supcrscriPiion, If
there bud ever been amy, had entirely faded
away. The postmaster wrote that lac had
found il in his leaer-boX and had tried in
vain to discover who had deposited il there,
in order that il may receive proper direction
us il apparently contained money. As II had
uot been advertised, it was not, in striCtness,
n dead letter; but lie sent il 10 the depart
mcut in order that they might dispose OF IT,.
The Postmaster General took the RESPONSE
billy Of opening it, and found that il WINS da-

auecdote from Cis,'s Cincinnati Advertiser:
"Mr b, Il farmer of Delhi township,
Hamilton county, Ohio, sent his man into

apples, among other produce. The load was
sold, with the exception of the apples. These
