Letter Carriers on Holidays.

lieving a mail carrier from performing his regular trips on hol-
idays.
DUTIES OF ROUTE AGENTS.
It is the duty of Route Agents to receive and properly sepa-
rate, and distribute a!l mail matter that may be received from
the public up to the time of starting, except such matter as
should be held for postage.

CARRYING LETTERS OUTSIDE THE MAIL

A mail carrier cannot carry a letter outside the mail unless
it be enclosed in a postage stamped envelope, except letters
handed to him more than a mile from a post office, which he
must deposit in the next office he reaches.
Registered Letters.
Registered letters can be sent to or from any post office in
the United States, and are used in sending valuable papers,
money, bonds, jewelry, or other articles of merchandise, when
not convenient to send by express or otherwise. Full letter
postage is required, at the rate of three cents per half ounce,
in addition to a fee of ten cents for registering ; the weight of
each package being limited to four pounds. While the Gov-
ernment is not responsible for the loss of such packages, the
great care observed in their transmission, by the system of a
chain of receipts from all clerks, route agents, etc., through
whose hands they pass, makes this mode of conveyance almost
absolutelv safe.
