Postal-Card Troubles.

Postal cards often give rise to peculiar troubles. A Rochester lumber dealer mailed one to a discharged clerk, accusing him of swindling, and the clerk has obtained a verdict of $450 damages, based on the publicity of the charges while passing through the mails. A similar charge is on trial at Pittsburgh, the plaintiff being a sewing-machine agent, to whom his employer addressed an accusation of improperly retaining money. An Omaha clergyman publishes a card that he frequently receives advertisements of wines and other liquors printed on postal cards, which is likely .to create a false impression on tfee grinds of the people. ’ •
