The post Office department reports
that during the past year the sum of
$15,605.69 was removed from dead let
tiers for which it was impossible to
find owners. Ordinarily a letter will
contain something in the way of name,
address or clue to enable the depart
ment to identify the sender, and it
seems remarkable that such a large
sum should be without apparent own
