THE PQST OFFICE. 
To the Editor of the 1 Intelligencer .* 
Sir, — I cordially agree with the sug" 
gestions of the Rev. F. 0. Morris (Intel. 
No. 155, p. 200), and will only add, ill 
the words of the great Agitator of Ireland, 
“ Agitate, agitate, agitate,” until the evil 
complained of is remedied. 
As however, proverbially speaking, we 
should “ give'the — ” I beg his pardon — 
“ give every one his due,” it is but fair to 
state, on behalf of the Post Office, that, 
during the past and present year I have 
received many boxes of insects through 
the Post from the Isle of Wight, Cam- 
bridge, Torquay and other places, all of 
which have arrived without injury to the 
boxes or contents. In one instance I 
received a box by rail, it being too large 
for the Post, which was so carefully 
packed that not one insect was displaced 
or broken. 
Still, although it appears that much 
damage has' occurred, I think it is, in a 
great measure, attributable to the sending 
of improper boxes. Doubtless there are 
many officials in the Post Offices who, 
having no sympathy with entomologists, 
are prone to mischief, and would feel 
pleasure in destroying that which is 
valuable to others; then, in all such 
cases, it may be well to “ Agitate, agitate, 
agitate.”
