caring for the poor belongs not alone to
the society; it is the duty Of all citizens.
The society only agrees to furnish the
poor with the things given them, to dis

II is rule of the Post Office Depart.

signed to the use of any person until the
rent for the same shall have been paid at
least one quarter in advance, but rigid
adherence to the rule is so near impossi.
BILE that it is not attempted, and we learn
that the Post Master of this city, finds it
extremely difficult to enforce the same.

notice of trent due" is put into each
box and the occupant IS expected to pay
Immediately and thus renew his right of
use. On the first day Of July, four months
ago, due notice was put into the box
used by Judge Page. 1t being a 'lock
box" he could remove the contents at
his pleasure, and he accordingly carried
away the notice without paying the rent.
Shortly another notice was placed in the
box and that was torn up and thrown
upon the floor by the selfimportant Page,
as were half dozen others before the
expiration of the quarter. Having per-
m tilted Page to use the box, the Post Mas
ter charged himself with the rent, as he
was bound to do, and rad the same from
his own pocket. At the beginning of
the present quarter, the customary notice
was placed in the boxes, and the one in
Pages box was carried away or torn up
as the others had been. Near the close
of the last month the P. M. wrote the
following letter to Page asking him to
pay his rent, then past due four months {:
