THE POST OFFICE.
TO THE EDITOR. Sm,—How long are a suffering public to have their shins broken by Btumbling up those dark horrible steps to post their letters? Surely a clerk could walk to the front door to collect them; or better, a pillar-box could be placed by the Cargill fount, Bad characters stand about those dark streets, and nuisances are committed there making it unpleasant for respectable females. The postmaster is responsible for many a dispute between man and wife, for you must either pocket your letters, to the great hindrance of business, or lose your train or tram, your dinner, and your temper to boot.—l am, etc., Mercatob. Dunedin, July 11.
