1t is matter Of surprise that so many

thereon. Prepayment in full on such
matter is compulsory. and unless so pre-
paid such matter will not be forwarded

jects it to letter postage. There are now in
the Los Angeles office bewteen 1900 and
1000 such packages being held for insult
ticient postage. When such matter is de-
posted for mailing the pc tmaster is re-
quired to notify the addressee that there
is package to his or her address. upon
which there is postage due. and upon re-
ceipt OF the amount due the package will
be forwarded. About one-third of the
notices sent out are responded to and the
consequence is that two.taids of such
matter is thrown in the waste. and peo-
pie wonder why their friends never re-
ceived the papers and packages sent. If
patrons OF the Office would call dt the
stamp window and have their papers and
packages weighed, much trouble and delay
would be avoided. and expedition in the
delivery of the mail would result.

to Keep Up an Unceasing Search
tor q Confederate

Capt. John l.. Vance, the father Of
Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Vance,
who is on q visit here to his son from
Virginia. received letter few days ago
which proves that if man is anxious to
accomplish something ana sticks to his
purpose, a matter Of thirty three years is
not going to interfere with the realiza-
tiUn OF his pursuit.
The letter, dated Marietta, O.. is self
explanatory, and reads substa ntially as
follows:
"On the I'd OF March, 1852, l, a boy OF
49, was serving in the Si1ty-second Ohio
infantry. Late that night surgeon
asked for volunteers to 60 little beyond
our line and carry in confederate officer
who was chilled from cold and loss CT
blood. 1t was on the ridge in the wood
where the fighting ceased. Four of us
offered our services and followed the sur
geon. We found a fine looking young
man severely wounded in the leg. think
near the knee. We took him in a blanket
to the hospital fire and returned to our
post. Duty soon called me to another
field. but the gentle manners and appear
ance of that officer won the heart of ar
enemy. from the records | am satisfied
that the officer is one of three men.
You are one of these three. Captain An
trim of the Fifth Virginia and Lieutenant
Neal are the others.
Can you kindly give me any light?
I am already under obligation to con-
federate officers and soldiers for their
help in this search. l have no other
motive than a friendly wish TO leaMi the
fate OF brave soldier, whom even in
the terrible scenes of strife | learned to
pity and honor
The letter, signed by Martin R. An
drews, a prominent educator of Marietta,
mad reached its destination when it was
handed to Captain Vance, who lost no
time in answering it. He tells the story
of the uniform kindness to him by his
federal captors until retaken two months
later by Jackson when he defeated Banks
at Winchester. lie also relates the kind
ness of young lady who took him Co her
mothers house and with the aid OF an
army surgeon, nursed him back to life.
He married her after the battle OF
Getty sburg and carried her away from the
battlefield to the valleys of Virginia.
The letter concludes with hearty in
vitation from the man in grey to the
man in blue to visit him at his happy
home in Abingdon in the near future.
