For some time past, says the Cincinnoti Times, there have been complaints made by | the Post Office Department at Washington of | the lange number of letters, with money in | them, lost in transunission throngh Ohio, and | which is said to far exceed that of any other {State In consequence of theee complaints | the United States Marshal has been unrem’ | ting in bis efforts to ferret out and bring to justice the depredators, in which, with the as- Setance of Messrs W. J. Brown and T. P. Shalicrots, the mail agents, he has been so far successful, as to arrest within the past five months no lers than eleven masters, charged with this system of peculation, all of whom have been examined before the United States Commissioner. and several held to bail to stand their trial at the Ostober term cf the United States Circuit Court. There is no greater evil than dishonest postmasters, rnd in many instances the suffering they create i« almost incalculable, aninstance of w came under our observation a few yoars since in St. Louis. The bead of a family, consisting of a wile and five children, having some business to transact in Texas, left for that place, and when there, discovering that he might employ himself for some time in a very profitable man- ner, he wrote to his wife in St. Louis, inform- ing her of poe wep ses of his lengthened ab- sence, and at the same time sending her a re- mittance to defray her expenses, for they were comparatively poor. and expecting to return in a short time, be had left her with but little money. Time passed, and having finished bis jobin ower on, he wirardind Austin, where he was profitably empl»: for two months longer, when he tacand ae tomas to find a Ictter, which had been in the post office there for some time, from his wife, in which she bitterly upbraided him for leaving her destitute, and stated that she was shout being turned out of her abode in consequence of not being eble to pay the rent He immediately went to the post office to as- certain if his letter. which contained the money he had sent ($150 upon one of the New (r- leans banks) had been forwarded. He was assured that it had, and with a heavy heart he sailed for New Orleans on his way home, from which he had been gone for nearly six months, The sorrowful sequel is soon told Arrived at St. Louis, he found that his unfor- tunate wife, who had failed receiving the let- ter containing the money, which was lost be- tween Texas and that city, and who was in consequence reduced to the bitterost shifts, tor they were comparatively strangers in St. Louis, turned out of her once happy home, and heart-broken in the belief that the hus- band of her heart and father of her children had basely deserted her, had six weeks pre- viously taken her youngest child, an infant of nine months old and in a fit of desperation, apon a dark and stormy night, had cast her- self and it ihto the Mississippi, the turbid waters of which soon stilled in death the un- quiet throbbings of her maddened brain The poor motherless children were, in the meantime, taken care of by public charity. The wretched husband, who, during his 4 sence, had beguiled the weary working hours of the day with happy thoughts of a blessed reunion with the loved ones, when he should return successful, and whose visions at night waft him off once again within the blissful cir- clo of all he held dear, might well envy the peaceful slumbering of her who lay in a sui- cide’s grave—for the body had been found the day afier she had committed the rash act, washed ashore on Bloody Islaund—but he lived Yor his children, though a brokea-spirited and joyless man ——— The Dead “ ‘There's not adust that floats on air But once was living man.” Scientific writers assert that the number of persons who have existed since the beginning of time, amounts to 30,627 843,275,075,846. These figures when divided by 3,095,000—the number of square leagues of land on the globe —leave 11,820 689,732 square miles of land which being divided as before, give 1.314,- $22,076 persons to each square mile Let us now reduce miles to square rods, which being divided as before, will give 1,253 inhabitants to each square red, which being reduced to feet, wiil give about five persons to each sqaare foot of terra-firma. Thus it will be perceived that our earth is one vast gaan 4 —1,253 human beings lie buried on eac square rod—soarcely sufficient for ten graves rave must contain 123 persons. Thus easily seen that the whole eurface of our globe has been dug over one hundred and twenty-cight times, te bury its dead. Tne Evitor axp toe Paewren —Black, the editor of the Morning Chronicle, was a great svorite with Lord Melbourne. On one voca sion the Peer said: ‘Mr Black, you ere the ouly person Who comes to see me who forgets who fam.’’ The editor opened his eyes with ustonishment. “You ferget that I am the Prime Minister; every body else takes ee- ialcare to remember it, bat I wish they would forget it, for they only remember it to ask me for pleces and favors. Now, Mr Black, you never ask me anything, and I wish you would, for seriously I should be most happy to do anything in my power to serve you ” “I am truly obliged,” said Mr. Biack, “but I don't want anything.
