A LETTER has recently been delivered
in France after being detained IN the
postoffice for half century. A singular
discovery was made three weeks ago in
the course of the operations now going
on in the general postoffice in Paris. In a
pannel near one of the boxes was found
letter, which had been pasted exactly
so years ago, and which by some mis-
chance had got stuck in the pannel in
stead of finding its way into the box. The
letter was duly forwarded to the person
to whom it was addressed, who, still
more strangely, wss alive and received
it safely. The writer. however, has been
dead many years.
