length, fitted up with every conven-
fence and facility for handling mails,
each car containing 1872 boxes for let
ters, and hanging capacity of 65
pouches for papers, etc. The amount
of mail handled by these postal clerks
is something enormous. During the
month OF February Mr.. johnson
handled 49lj packages Of letters, esti.
mated by the department to contain
80 letters TO a package: $40 sacks of
papers, estimated at 300 to a sack, and
1888 registered letters. Seventeen
years ago one man performed the
work with comparative ease; and
now, quite frequently, three men are
necessary. In accordance with estab-
lished custom, all mail matter is
weighed 80 days in succession each
four years, and the rate of increase the
present year as compared with four
years ago, is fully so per cent. The
mail leaving Island Pond last Friday
alon e, weighed over half ton. But
this can be explained by the fact that
each Friday morning the HERALD
does considerable to swell the grand
total. Lack of space this week for.
bids any further mention, but in a
future issue we will again refer to this
matter.

The ball in honor of the Inaugural

attended by nearly 60 couples, and en-
joyed as only such ball could be en-
joyed by those who had waited "a
years for the opportunity. The supper
at the Stewart House was all that
could be desired, and the music by
Bigelow's Orchestra was excellent, as
it always is. But the question has
been asked was the naming of quad
