The investigation of East Haven asylum as a result of the death of Laudy Jackson of this county, should and must go on and we hope sufficient publicity is given the matter that it will not lie lost sight of. 'fllmse in charge ami those responsible will n<> doubt hope that the "incident" as Mr. Drown calls it. may soon blow over and things continue as they have. We have seen no explanation or reason for employing a man whose home address was not known and ( who after permitting the death of a ( pat ent is discharged and permitted to leave. That fact also should be explained and many others with it Old timer, tell us tint while the i frost d d much damage to fruits and \ garden truck and some to all other crops there is a very good chance fol the lorn, oats aud wheat to get through I'liis is disputed by some lint i one man who admits he is usually a it pessimist about crops, made an in ve ligation this morning and declares w that already little green shoots from rt the roots, prove that with a few ti showers and some hot weather it will a survive the set back.

•ountry. it is doubtful whether the ■;i.,e at bar will definitely decide .vhetber or not our ancestors "hung >y their tails from the trees" as Mr. Bryan puts it. Tlie "letter mortality" for the year i‘,124 increased by 2.000,0 W pieces of nail over that for tae preceding year. Nearly 22,000.000 letters failed to •each their destinations last year and tided tlicir journeys iu Uic dead Jet er office. Tile reason for Hiis does lot li<- in carelessness or indifference in the postal service. Illegible, in■orrecl and insufficient addresses were primarily responsible. Anyone who has ever sent a letter that failed lo arrive or who lias waited anxiously and in vain for much-desired mail 1 ought lo realize in a small degree at least bow much personal misery is caused by lost letters ami packages. ‘ There is in addition a huge postage ’ bill paid, as well as a lot of time' ami energy wasted by clerks trying! to make up for the writers' mistakes. Two things, quite s'mple for every let ter sender, would help greatly to re duce this waste. The first is to make the address legible ami as nearly accurate as possible. The second is to place in the upper left hand corner of the envelope the sender's correct address. If the letter cannot be de livered. then, it will lie returned to the sender. Some persons neglect this precaution because they tliiuk that a return address on an envelope, parthulaily m social correspondence, doer, nut look well. That is a silly point of view. o— '
