VIRGINIA POSTAL MATTERS. The

and so far there is not a man that seeks the
office, although it is situated in one of the
most thriving villages of Virginia, and the
salary of the Office is about $35 per month.
The present incumbent, George G. Round,
has rendered his resignation, and the post.
master-general has so far received neither
application or recommendation for the
place. 1t is not believed that this state OF
facts will exist long after the publication
