LETTER DELIvERY.-During the last
week in December there were received at
the Richmond post-ofice for delivery over
10000 letters.
On the lst of January the Post-office
Department ordered that record shall
be kept of all stamps cancelled in each
post-office in the country. The record tor
Richmond shows that since that date 4S, ,l54
stamps have been thus cancelled. the
largest number in one day was on the 6th
(Monday), when it reached 6,64l. The
day previous the number was only 61o.
Of the number given above it is fair to
presume that not over 3,0OOrequired more
than one stamp. If this be so, it will be
seen that about 900 letters have been
sent from Richmond since the lst OF Janu-
ary, or an average Of $500 per day.
