Queer Letters Received at Postonicc

Probably no class OF men in the
world have so peculiar experiences as
postmasters and post office clerks
They are receiving all the time com
munications which are both sad, ridi-
culous and amusing There was re
ceiyed at this post office a short time
ago letter from Sterling, Mass The
letter read that boy about is years
old had come from Skowhegan to
Cambridge to college The writer
said he would like to find him but
gave no name nor his object An
other letter came here from Roches-
ter and the writer said that she had
young man boarding with her but
didn't know where he was. thought
he might be dead and thought the
ostmaster here might know whether
he was or not. No name or descrip-
ton was given of the boy.

the well when others he'd failed. The
depth is twenty-seven feet and a big
stream was encountered, sending out
a flow sufficient, Gault says, to irri-
gate his farm of 100 acres.

twenty feet, when suddenly the strata
