ped his shoes and socks, and started al
about 10 o'clock al night. He says that
during the first half mile his feet became
very cold after that they commenced
burning. When about half way home,
he slipped about so that lie could scarce
ly maN any progress, and putting his
hands to his feet found they were as
hard as stone. He 60. home at about
o'clock. without having stopped on the
way. When walking on the floor his
tread made about the same noise as if lie
were wearing wooden shoes. The bot
IONS of his feet and all the skin TO his an

taken of. 1t is said that he was perfect

Re giStering Letters.

This IS great imposition upon The bus
mess public by the Government. The
latter charges the former the sum Of FIVE
cents for registering letters, containing
money or drafts. and three cents for con-
veying those letters TO their respective
places Of destination, but refuses 10 as
sumo any responsibility for losses. It's
Postmas,ers steal the money, which the
act OF registering kindly points out to
them, and the Government pockets the
fee for lis safe transmission. The papers
are everywhere complaining that they
lose more money from registered letters
than from those which are not, and are
urging their subscribers not TO register
letters. Godey's Lady's Book says thai
nine out of ten Of its losses by mail have
been registered letters, and in no one In
stance has one of them been traced up.
This is outrageous villany, and The Gov
ernmenl ought not 10 shirk lis RESPONSE
biliiy.
