The relations of Mr.. Cakes Ames
with his fellow-members have somewhat
changed since 1868. They keep calling
on him now to know il he has anything

A RESULT OF CARELEssNEss.- The
Burlington Free Press says:
"Few persons realize how large per-
centage of the losses and detention of
letters in the mails is due to careless
direction. We may mention case in
point. The Postmaster of Burlington,
Mass, living in community so small
that ne can know all its members, is in
the habit of sending to the Post Office
in this city from time to time the letters
received in his Office which he perceives
cannot be intended for persons in that
village. Three or four days since pack
age of ten letters was received here from
the Massachusetts Burlington, all plain
ly directed Burlington, Mass and all
but t,co intended for business men of this
city. The last package previously re-
ceived t,Oo weeks before contained nine
teen misdirected letters, taoelve of which
belonged to persons residing here. Here
were twenty letters misdirected to sin
gle post office in three weeks time. As
there are no less than eighteen Burling-
tons in as many States Of the Union,
the Massachusetts Burlington probably
gets but small share of the letters in
tended for Burlington, VT, but directed
to some other State, most of which
reach their destination, if at all, through
| the dead letter Office.

A WOMAN WHO Dared.-A tramp
entered the house of Daniel Shea, about
one mile from Nashua, N. H., in the
absence of Mr.. Shea, and while his wife

articles, when Mrs Shea came upon the
scene and securing an old musket went
for the robber and knocked him down,

dropped the ten dollar greenback and
endeavored TO close with Mrs. Shea Cor a
