bulletir mati and

Sir,—I notice on the P. O. board today that 49 bags of matter are crossing the Caprs that the remaining bags have beer sent to Pictou to cross by the Stanley. Yester- day 45 bags were attempted to be brought over whilst 122 bags remained at Cape Tormentine. Since that time another day’s mai! should have reached Cape Tormen- tine so that it is fair to assume that over 150 bage have been sent to Pictou for further delay. That the number is large in clear otherwiee the Post Office Depart~ ment would pot suppress i Tr18 is ihe first day that the bulletin boars aid not contaio the information and the ‘public is left to imagine how many bags remain at{Cape Tormentine.
