BEAUTIFUL PRESENT

desk set given him by his official fam
Ily. the employees Of the Richmond
postal department. Each had do
mated 20 the fund. and The present WAS
purchased. II was an utter surprise
70 Mr. Thornton. and was said by him
10 be by far the most appreciated OF
any present ne received.
The work az the postoffics has been
done well. considering the vast amount
- arst-class matter that has almost
swamped The ceatral Office Every
available man who had any expert
ence whatever In handling the mails
was employed. and even though there
have been few complaints regis
tered, yet the work has been carried
on without any serious obstacles.
The reason for the delay Of many
expected gifts La because OF the great
congestion at many Northern points.
In Washington part OF Union station
has been roped off. and an enormous
amount Of mails bound for Southern
points cannot be reached by the pos
tai clerks. More than forty cars OF
mail have never been touched at
Washington alone Part OF these con-
gssted districts have sent floods of
these mails here with the consequence
that the local employees are forced 70
