(Haverhill (Mass.) Gazett.) In spite of the fact that a post- office inspector was in this city re cently for the purpose of investigat ing violations of the postal regulations which impose a penalty of $10 in every case where persons are discov ered sending written matter in pack ages mailed at third-class rates, the violations continue, and in the last four days no less than four packages have been held up by the local offi cials. In fact, hardly a day passes without a violation of the law being discovered. The postmaster is re quired to make a report of each vio lation and a fine of $10 is imposed in each case. Wlhen the violations are called to the attention of the parties sending the packages they admit their guilt and plead ignorance of the law. The law now requires that every package shall be opened, and whether the per sons sending them vouch for their contents or not, the packages are opened just the same, and their con tents examined so that it is impossi ble to avoid discovery. Even should a package be allowed to pass from the local office unopened it would be of Mrs. J. A. Hames, was beautiful. The boys and girls bad the yard clean ed off nicely.
