THE EVILS OF COMPULSORY PREPAYMENT
or PosTAGE.-Mr Plny Miles delivered
lecture before the Massachusetts Legislature,
on the l4th inst upon tie need of postal
reform In the course of his lecture he men
toned few of the mishaps which have oc-
Cured under the law of compulsory prepay
ment:
A gentleman in Boston mailed a letter TO
person at distance for charitable DUR
pose, and IN consequence of forgetting to put
stamp on it, it miscarried, and came back
to HIM in the course of four months. An
other gentleman, Mr.. Ticknor mailed let-
ter with draft in it of $2,40O and the
stamp accidentally fell off in the Post-OAce
OF course it 'miscarred" and caused him
great trouble, A gentleman in Michigan
had letter lost, in consequence of its not
being prepaid, that contained witness, tes-
timony in an important lawsuit, and before
another copy could be had the witness died
and for want of the testimony he lost tbc
suit and an estate of thirty thousand dol,
lars.
A lady in Ohio, who was separated from
her husband, heard from him by letter prom,
ising to return and live with her if she wished
it, She was very anxious to have him and
wrote to inform him. Her servant girl
stole the stamp off, the letter went to Wash
lngton, was destroyed by "due process of
law" and the husband not hearing from his
wife, married agaiu. The lady read the mar
rage IN newspaper, fell on the floor in a
ht' was taken up, and died the next day
