BUSY TIMES

At the New Haven Postomce-An
 Avalanche of Mail Matter-Over
 Two Hundred Bushels of Parcels
 More Than Usual-From $15,OoO
 to $2O,e0o Day More Than
 Usual.
 The postofice during these days pre-
 sents an appearance of activity unrivaled
 even by the busy marts of trade on
 Chapel street. The business being trans
 acted here this Christmas is exceeding
 anything in previous years and the corps of clerks has accordingly been consider ably increased. Policeman Bradley is
 stationed in the vestibule to see that there is no attempt at thieving and to give in formation in general to those that wish it. Messrs. Hayes and Candee at the stamp windows are overwhelmed by an avalanche of business but are as courteous and polite as ever. A system has been
 adopted for disposing of bundles that greatly capacities matters. The bundle is immediately weighed, the amount told the one presenting t,and then it is handed over to another man to put the stamps on, instead of causing the mailer the trouble of again handling it. Thus much confu- sion that might result is avoided. Im- mense baskets are constantly kept filled with packages and already the extra mat ter due to Christmas has reached over two hundred bushels. In the registered letter department, over which we find Miss Siebke, Mrs. Letter and Miss Letcher pre- siding, there is from $5, 900 to $10,00 ex- tra sent in cash value of letters daily. An equal extra amount in value of letters is | daily received in this department.
 In the department of registered parcels, packages are constantly weighed, regis
 tered and sent out amounting to an enor- nous quantity. Yesterday 207 parcels ! were registered and sent out up to five | o'clock, containing all sorts of articles for Christmas presents.
 The money order department, which is
 conducted by Misses Lyon, Warren and | Pardee, has been doing business about equal to the registered letter department,
 handling about 5000 or $10,000 extrN in | value daily. The mailing of the bull of | city matter for Christmas begins to-day Soon the letter carriers will appear like dromedaries of the desert under their bur den of Christmas presents. Some will
 have to draw after them little wagons in l which to carry the enormous | array of mail matter is presented
 to the postohice to handle the many calen- | dars which are sent out by the various firms of the city. One establishment alone
 sends out upwards of 50,0O0 circular paste | board tubes containing calendars. Thus l in divers and sundry ways the business is l swelled until the result assumes astonish- | ing and we'll nigh alarming proportions. l Postmaster Sperry has never showed his | ability in the postof6ce better than at the | present in providing for the handling of | such ponderous and cumbersome amount | of mail. Under his management the post office system of New Haven has come to
 be acknowledged one of the models of the l country.

About Two Wandering Boys.

Two boys, who gave their names as Fred J. Brady and Harry c. Haywood: aged sixteen and fourteen respectively, were handed over to the department of Organized Charities early yesterday morn ing. They were boys of apparent respect ability, who had desired to see some thing of the world without first acquiring the requisite means. With six dollars a piece they had gone by the Fall River Line to New York, where, finding that their money failed, they started to walk home. They walked to Port Chester, where they got ride to South Norwalk, and thence to New Haven. Superintend- ent Preston telegraphed to the boys pa rents in Boston, and they were last night taken home by them.

POINTS TO HAWLEY,s WIFE.

The MunsOn Murder in Huntington.
 SHELTON, Dec. 22.-Additional facts con- corning the Munson murder case Elsewhere reported) have been ascertained as follows: The guilt of the murder would not appear now to rest upon Hawley, as was at first thought, but rather upon his wife. She has been jealous of her husband for long time and it is thought that she may have committed the deed through this jealousy. It is not generally known in this locality that last year Mrs. Munson was fired at several times through the window while no one else was in the house but Hawley. She will be placed under arrest tomorrow morning and the hearing will probably be Saturday. Coroners Downes and Dolton came up from Bridgeport to-day and held the autopsy. They did not announce the result of their examination. The body is now lying at Bedient's morgue.
