ninety.two offices, fro which no returns had been
received during the year, sportion OF which had
been but recently ettablished and are supposed not
to have been in operation.
Considering the large number OF persons en-
poyed In the several post offices, and In the trans
portation Of the m ais; the extent and complica-
tion OF the routes; the numerous and various ar
rangements for separating and distributing the

lowed to large proportion Of the persons employed
in these servises there is perhaps more reason to
be satisfied with the general accuracy and efficiency
of the service than to complain Of the mistakes,
irregularities and accidents which occasionally
occur.
