INTEREsr1G TO BACHELoRs.-As the
wise Judges Of the land have decided that
most letters to young ladies may be held
as promises Of marriage by the dears; and
as our young friends no doubt are still in
elincd to drop line" if the expense of
the thing isn't i whole wOman,'we submit
the following formula for their corrospon-
dence, which may become useful in these
fightful times:
"My Dear Miss send
you tho books which you desired to read
&c, &c. N. i. No legal inferences to be
drawn"
BE sure and never sign your name, and
always write in disguised hand.

BEWARE OF MAN TRAPS The Su
preme Court Of Connecticut has decided
that correspondence in writing betwccr
a marriageable female and an unmarried
man, is presumptive evidence of an engage
ment! The Judge says:
"That an engagement exists, or an of
fer has been made and accepted where {
correspondence takes place between such
parties as are described in this case, is, We
think, in accordance with general expert
ence, which is one of the usual and most
satisfactory tests Of human evidence; and
although, when taken alone and discon-
neeted from other facts, it may not be so
strong as some evidence that might be sug-
gested, yet we hold it competent to be sub
mitted to jury, and from which they may
find promise to marry, if the evidence
satisfies them Of the fact"
Bachelors and cousins should beware Of
committing themselves. They should be
as chary of the use of their pen as a poI;r.
clan who is a candidate. for public Office,

SIR: 1t is impossible for me to answer fully and
exactly tho several inquiries embraced in the Sc
mates resolution of the 18th of March last.
The present clerical force of my Office is barely
sufficient to perform its current business and TO
answer tho resolution fully would, i have no doubt
require it to be doubled for the space least of one
year
Tho circumstances of the case are such that am
compelled in great degree, to resort to estimates
and even then without such data as to render the
results strictly reliable.
The first inquiry in the Senate's resolution calls
f'for the whole number of letters which passed
through the Post Office Of the United States during

the paid from the unpaid; those paid by stamps
from those paid by cash. also, the number of free
