There is great need OF n new post
office building at Lynchburg. though the
~, ~ n1,= ~ 1occ IN n
only provides for the improvement OF
tho present structure. 1t is learned at
tho Postoffice Department that tho bus !.
mess of the Lynchburg office has In
creased fifteen hundred fold since the
present building was erected some time
in the eighties The receipts at the
fLynchburg office are about those Of the
Fined, according to an official Of the
Postofflcc Department, and the Income
OF each of tho offices With which, the
comparison Is made is regarded as heavy
for the size of the CITY,
A BIG BILL. i7
Mr. Glass had thought that It might
hs necessary to Introduce a bill for the
relief Of one Of his constitu ents.s whO Is
large tobacco dealer, and who got into
trouble OF a peculiar character, It np-i
pears that some timo ago he SHIPPED q
cargo OF tobacco to a foreign house, sand
that upon its recent abroad there was
complaint made that the shipment was
moi Of tho character ordered, or some-
thing o. the kind. There was some corr
lespohdence, and, finally. tho American
shipper, Mr. Glass constituent, told tho
,nnslgnees to ship the tobacco back to
him, The foreign house did as he had
directed, the tobacco arrived and was
.taken in charge by the orlg gina shin
per, sand after the lapse Of a short time
tic treasury officials demanded the ,pay,
$1nent Of over 1900 duty on the tobac-
co. Payment was made and then the
had to so into the Court OF
Claims III this city In an effort to have
the tariff efunded. Tho case has final
~ been8adjusted to his satisfaction. and
ne gotss back the duty paid on tobacco
