[Illustration: QUAINT ADDRESS.]

It is only fair to the "Blind Writers" to say, that the address heading
of the Dean's letter was withdrawn before the signature was submitted to
them. With that clue they would readily have been able to find out the
writer's correct name from their books of reference, so that the Dean is
not likely to suffer delay of his letters in the Returned Letter Office
through peculiarity of signature.

During a recent Christmas Season a parcel, containing a lb. roll of
butter was received, without address, in the returned Letter Office,
Bristol, from a Devonshire town. As the parcel could not be returned to
the sender within such a time as the contents remained good, the butter
was sold for cooking purposes. When placed upon the kitchen table, the
edge of a yellow coin was observed to be slightly protruding from the
roll. The coin turned out to be a sovereign, and search was made to

would-be imitators are warned that such practices are strongly

The Corporation of Bristol erected electric light ventilators in
different parts of the city. At a distance, possibly, these ventilators
appear, to the short-sighted, to be Post Office pillar boxes, as they
are iron boxes placed on the pavement near the kerbstones. They differ
in many respects from the familiar Post Office boxes, for, instead of
being round, they are square; they are painted of a different colour,
and are only about two feet high. They are without indicators, notice
plates, and doors. There is a slightly raised top for the passage of
air. Through this opening of one of the boxes letters have been recently
posted by three separate persons. Such carelessness is astonishing.

The Electric Lighting Authorities, to prevent further mishaps of the
kind, arranged to have t
