Mr.. r H. Hewitt, of this city,
has received letters patent for an
improvement in the fastenings of
mail pouches which seems to us to
be far superior to the old clumsy
contrivance of a multitude of sta
pie, aud straps. 1t Is claimed, and
it seems every way feasible, that
by means Of this invention a mail
pouch can be opened and closed in
about ones Xth the time of the old
ones-a decided advantage to post
masters aud mail agents where
rapidity of action is required. The
new apparatus can be easily and
with very little expense attached
to the pouches now In use, so that
in case Of its adoption nothing
new would have to be provided ex-
cept the fastening itself. 1t is alb.
solutely secure aud as it locks from
a central staple IL easily adjusted,
one movement OF the hand OPEN
ing or closing it. A number of
gentlemen who have long been fa-
miliar with the old contrivauce,
examined the model and pro-
nounced u favorable opinion upon
it. Mr., Hewitt has been in The
mail service tor sunle time us
agent between this place and
Dsming apd has had opportunities
of noting where provement
seemed Imperative. We hope he
will meet with success with his
invention. The patent was OH
