THOMAS II. BENTON, in,
,Src'y Of the Board.
Dead Letter system Abolished.

Dead Letter System Abolished.
On the 2lst of January, 1862, the
President approved an act passed by Con
gress, authorizing the Post Office De
partment to return all dead letters to
their writer's. The Post Master General
was of the opinion that the revenue de.
rived from a charge of double postage on
such letters would more than equal the
expenditure caused by an extra clerical
force in the Department. Thus far the
system works very smoothly, and all let
ters not reaching their destination, in
stead Of being burncd by the cartlosd,
are now carefully sent to the writer's and
double postage collected OF course
many valuable letters are returned, but Of
their value the writer, not the Depart
ment, should DO the Judge. The follow
ing notice on the envelope iuclosine tho
dead letter to the postmaster explains the
further object of this law:
"The inclosed letter is sent to the wri-
ter under an act Of Congress, approved
January u, 1862; if not delivered and
j douJh postage collected, as required by
this new law, it must be returned to the
"Thrd Assistant Postmaster General'
within one month, with the reasons for
non delivery indorsed on it, according to
section 1919, of Post Office Regulations.
wf retained a longer period, the post
master will be held accountable for the
postage, whether delivered or not. The
date of receipt at the post-otce must be
marked on the letter.
"The postmaster will not allow the en-
veope to be opened before receiving tho
postage -----
PRESIDENT LINCOLN "A Washington
correspondent of the Springfield (Msss)
Republican says:
Nobody is making reputation faster
and surer now than President Lincoln.
When Congress assembled he was at .
discount in both branches, and many OF
his old political friends treated him with
marked neglect and dscourtesy. Now
all are fastening to do him reverence
His integrity, his wisdom, his caution, his
strength as a man and a statesman, are
warmly admitted on all hands; and he has
more than any other man in the nation,
he respect and confidence of Congress
md people, conservative and rsdiesls,
The army and civilians. lie does not
move fast; but he moves strong and sure.

ONE OF Mr.. LINCoLN' : STORIES.
Some gentlemen were in conversation
with the President the other day, and
the future was spoken Of, and some inqui-
ries made as to what would be done with
certain troublesome questions that must
come up. Mr.. Lincoln replied that one
time company of Methodist ministers
were together, and were on their way to
some public meeting. As they were on
the point of departure, some one came on
with the alarming intelligence that the
bridge over the river they were to pass
Lad been carried away. How the com
pany were to get across the river was
the exciting question. All but one en-
gagged ia the discussion, aud he was tho
most venerable Of them all. Alength he
was appealed to to know what should be
done. He replied: Brethren, | am an
old man. God has led me into and
through many trying scenss; but long
ago | learned never to trouble mySe,ii
about crossing a river till | come to IT.
This was told in the Presidents lnlmita-
Bile manner, and produced profounder
sensation than many he tells. bosfo"

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE TIP.
TON UNION SCHOOL.

FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE TIP.
TON UNION SCHOOL.
To the Board Of Directors, and Patrons
ofthe Upton Union School:
The past has been an eventful year.
Never before in the history Of this coun-
try hasthere been so much to divert the
attention Of parents from the education
of their children and to draw the minds
Of the young from their studies. The
tramp of the warrior, and the sound of
martial music upon our streets, and
around the school-house, have oftim,s 60
excited our pupils that nothing but the
calmness, and gentle persuasion of we'll
known and much respected teachers,
have, on many occasions, prevented the
school from temporary disorganization.
1t was we'll for the school (and especially
the lower departments) that it was in the
possession of faithful and long tried
teachers.
War is a tremendous evil aud no class
suffer so drcadfully from its blighting ,u-
fuence as the young. But amid all the
anxiety and excitement, the school has
been we'll patronized; and we have rsa-
son to thank God it has been a success.
The school during the year has been
graded into five departments, viz: The
Infant, the Primary, the Secondary, the
Grammar, and the High School.
The Infant Department has been gra-
ded into four divisions; the Primary into
three ; the Secondary into three; the
Grammar, two; the High School into
four.
The Infant Department has been in
charge of Melinda NJ. Rumsey. The fol-.
lowing is her report:
