The G.P.0., London.
! Few things are impossible to the Po9t Office. A letter recently posted i at St. Martin's-le-Grand wa9 intended for a house agent in a small Midland town. The sender had forgotten both the name of his correspondent, and the street, and his residence ; but, having an excellent topographical memory, he supplemented his scanty information by drawing a map in the corner of the envelope and putting a " star " where the letter was to be delivered. As posted the envelope bore only the name of the town and this sketch. It was, nevertheless, delivered at its correct destination without missing a post.
