Scarcely day passes but we hear of teams be-
ING stolen IN part or IN whole and during the past

way have been deprived of their only means of
support Every man in the county, aud espe.

letters, and 366,9l6 newspapers. The increase
over the previous quarter has been 2s9, 1855 sea
letters, and IA, ,879 newspapers. The daily aver
age Of domectc correspondence, added TO the
above sea letters, will show that 6,409,l7 letters
have passed through the Office during the quarter
The average daily number of distinct mails, de-
spatched for the same time, is 4,SO0; and about
the same number are received and despatched
daily.
The number Of letters advertised, for the quar-
ter is az, 2,J77; 8O78 Of which have been delivered
to the proper owners, aud the remaining "a ,299
have been sent to the dead letter Office at Wash
ington.
Add to the above the great quantity OF domes-
tic newspapers, daily passing through the office,
and some estimate may be formed of the work
performed in the New York post Office.
II appears from this, that the total number of
California letters received and forwarded at the
New York Post Office in single quarter, was,
33O,772 These at the present rate Of postage,
amount to $264,6l7 per annum. And the pay
for this service amounts to 100000. But
then the newspaper postage, which is enormous,
n not included. Neither is the Cuba postage.
Adding these and the receipts, will probably no,c
exceed the pay.
II 10 true that our government has adopted
the foolish policy ofreducing the sea postage TO
some ten cents, for route two or three thons-
and miles long. This was absurd on many ac-
counts. It enables all Europe to send letters
by our steamers at less than cost, to the Pacific
instead Of tnxing that correspondence for the
support of our navy. And it transports letter
70 the Pacific ten times as cheap as from Phia-
delphia to New York-dstance considered =
What reason ia there in that!
Our line Of steamers to Liverpool, also, nearly
repay to government their annual compensation
notwithstanding they encounter the competition
ofthe Cunard vessels Of double their number.

N5-The following amusing story about the
historian Of the Mexican war,-the editor OF the
Picayune,--is told in the editorial gossip of the
'.Knickbocker," !" for March.
.'rhat WASH texactly the right thing that George
leans "Picayune" daily journal, did down at the
brothers Harper's private office, one pleasant
morning in May, when James was His Hon
or the Mayor You see, the way Oft was this :
when George went into the counting room, he
asked for the mayor The colonel pointed to
the adjoining private Office, raised Sitting
room, and said, Hes in there: there's delega-
ton there from the female officers Of The Martha
Washington Temperance Society, of which the
mayor is the honorary president I' go IN and
see him, said Kendall. DO, said 'the colonel,
Il guess they're about through; they've kept him
talking there for some time, now. George enter
ed, his face a little flushed, from rapid walk
down to Cliff street, and he did so, he made
aware OF the presence of some two dozen mem
bers of the martha Washington Teetotal Asso-
caton, III solemn conclave, their president, the
mayor, IN their midst, with face partly from
the warmth of the morning, and partly from ex-
element, even more flushed, il anything, than
Kendall's. George was received, beyond slight
greeting from 'the mayor with ominous silence;
but he 'knew his course Come, Harper said
he, let's 60 and get another drink it's 'leven
o'clock, he added, taking out his wach ant
you dry agin .. am y 'rhe mayor says he had
been taken aback' before; but the GOODNESS and
outrageous mpudence of that tack could Mt be
beat. 'The women looked daggers while Kendall
was pretending to be hurryng me to go with him
and take Il drink called moral suasion.'

Of the herd:
I'VE have il on the undoubted autho ity of a

Jenny Lind's singing the Herdsman's or Echo

reverie in the Courthouse yard, by the delicious
melody of Jennys call, "Come Kline" immedi-
ately obeyed the summons by believing forth n

learn that the maternal grandfather of this COW

her own life. she was fed on s,wede turnips.
This accounts for her instructive COW belowgian
