The new case which Postmaster
Hagerty has just put in position al
the post-office is very ornamental and
convenient. The numbers on the cal
boxes run as high as 800 although
there are actually but 316 the place o.
four boxes being occupied by the de
livery. The case also has 32 lock boxes
Judge Edward Derby made the cast
and every joint, and part attest to his
skillas mechanic. The woodwork q
the case will be grained and vanished
The lock boxes are provided with th'
Yale patent lock, the keys for eacf
lock being of different pattern. Th'
price of the call boxes is 60 cents {
year, of the lock boxes $500 and q
cents for each key two keys going
with each lock. The amount of mai
matter received and forwarded at thi
Office is increasing rapidly, and Post
master Hagerty is deserving of grea
deal of credit for providing our peopl
with such a convenient and handsome
case. In the time of Postmaster
Luther and Ross few boxes (abou
4O) were all that was needed to suppl.
our citizens with mail matter. 1t is
we'll known fact that the increase o
mail at a place denotes an increase il
population and business. Then com
pairing the old post-office with tn
new we see substantial prosperit.
that is steadily increasing.
