Nye white, of St." Paul, Minne ota, is under the municipal lock and key, with two charges booked against hira:ihat of cheating and swindling;, and that of selling goods wit'h out li cense. Nye arrived here a week or ten days ago and began a canvass of houses, for the sale of letter boxes. The box he offered for sale was a simple affair of tin, costing the purchaser 25 cents. He claimed to represent the pestoffice de partment, and stated that unless the people bought these boxes, the letter carriers Would not deliver their mail. He presented a circular at the different houses, where he called, reading as fol lows: "The attention of householders is di reeled to the great public convenience which would result from every house holder having a place for the reception of their mail-matter. In this connee- ticn, your attention is called to page S54 of the IJ. S. Official Guide, January 18, 1S34, which reads as follows: 'Pat rons m cities wnere letter carriers are employed are advised to provide letter J boxes at places of business or private residences, thereby saving mucn delay in the delivery of mail matter.' Every household can now be supplied with a mail receiving box, which will be leas ed at the nominal rate of five cents per jear. It is not rented for one year on ly for five cents, but it is put up for a term of five years for 25 cents. It will be your own property during that time, and ycu may take it with you from one house to another, when and wherever ycu move, i nis is not a collection dox, but the universal adoption of these 're ceiving boxes' will greatly facilitate the free -mail 'delivery system and lighten the burdens of the. letter car riers: and we hope that the people of this city, as in ether cities, will assist the carriers, and not compel them, to wait often in storm and rain the con venience of the people 'to open the doors.
