POSTAL CIerIxs Kesigntng.

Ira e. Smith, one of the oldest
postal clerks on the Ohio River
Road, in point of Iservioe, has sent
in his resignation to the depart
ment to take effect on the first of
next month, and the designations
of several other clerks will follow
in the course of few weeks. They
give as reason that since the in
auguration of the through train
service on the road, and the oonse-
quent lengthening of the mail runs
to nearly double, without an in
crease in working force, the labor
involved almost goes beyond the
point of human endurance, and the
men are resigning rather than work
themselves into ill health. The
run was formerly from Wheeling
to Kenova, 223 miles and is now
44O miles.
Within short time full postal
car service will be established, and
the matter will eventually be bet
tered, but rather than wait for that
that time the clerks are resigning.
