1^ The Dead-Letter Office, which 

 receives 12,000 to 15.000 or more letters 

 ■every day in the year, is a monument 

 of the carelessness of the people. 

 That office would be speedily closed if 

 every writer of a letter always used 

 the " return request envelopes," giv- 

 ing on them his own or her own 

 address or residence. This, too, would 

 be a great satisfaction to the writers, 

 for they would then know in due lime 

 if a letter was not delivered.

t^ The stock of the Bee-Keepers' 

 Supply Co , of New Comerstown, O., 

 is being rapidly sold. The standing 

 of the incorporators is vouched for 

 by bankers and others in that city. 

 Mr. Shoemaker desires to say that 

 his correspondence is so large that it 

 is some behind, but letters of inquiry 

 will be answered, and receipts for 

 stock subscribed will be sent as rap- 

 idly as possible. The laws of Ohio 

 decide that there cannot be less than 

 5 nor more than 15 directors ; and re- 

 quire a statement of the business sent 

 to every stockholder once a year. 

 The profits, or dividends, are declared 

 by the stockholders at their annual 

 meeting. Those who want stock in 

 this Co. are requested to apply soon, 

 as it is being rapidly taken. *
