Mailing Letters.

WHY A GREAT MANY ARE NEVER RFcEIvED-A FEW
PLAIN nULEs TO BE oBsERyED.
Notwithstanding the minute directions given,
from time to time, in the matter of properly
directing letters, large numbers are mis-directed
and fail to reach their destination. In most OF
such cases the Mail Agents, Postmasters, and the
Post Office Department in general, come In for
"a large share of condemnation. Almost every
day letters are thrown into the Office with three
cent stamp upon them without the least sign Of
any direction. In other cases, the letters are
properly directed, but have no stamp, and often
a stamp but not for the right amount. Some
times the name Of the State where the Post
Office is located is omitted, and sometimes the
name of the Post Office
Here is a case in point Of letter that came
down over the W. IL W. II. Il. yesterday, that
cannot reach the person for whom 1t Id intend
ed. unless he sees TINS notice and goes on the
hunt ofthe letter. The following Ii tue direction
in full, written too, in bold, round hand and
easily read - MIR. John Robb. Care OF Alex
apder Kennedy Esq. Chester %, Pa.
This letter may reach Chester County without
difficulty, but as there are probably over
one hundred Post Offices in the county, 1t
ia little difficult for a Mall agent Or
Postmaster to determine at which particular
Post Office MIR. John Kobb, or Alexander Ken
nedy. can he found.
A few days ago, letter very nicely addressed
to Il lady was simply sent to "Lancaster County,
without the name of either State or Post ofilce
No doubt the lady looked anxlously, but looked
in vain for her expected letter.

article,we would simply state thst u ls hot aoso
lutely necessary to name the county on the al
dress Of letter but the name OF the person y
whom it is sent, the Post Ollce and the StaU

EARNEST RRMoNsTRANCE AGAINST MR. LESLEY
SCHEME OF $4,000 YEAR TAXATION.
A bill introduced into the Senate, at Dover, by
Mr. Lesley, and apparently very harmless and
innocent little thing, is creating much excite
ment at New Castle, among the people. Thty
say there is an active, full-grown snake in it,,
and a strong remonstrance has been sent to
Dover, against its passage. The remonstrance
states -
1.-THE object OF this bill as we understand il, is
to give the education committee of the Trustees
of the New Castles commons with the consent
of a majority of the school voters) power TO LAY
tax Of $4,000 for the support OF the schools
under the control OF the said Trustees. 10 this
measure, gotten up by the Trustees OF the COM
mons without consultation with and without the
knowledge of the people Of the the town, We
utterly opposed. 1t is unjust, wrong and OPP
