On. Tuesday evening of last week the

went to investigate the trouble. To leis

The Jubilee Stamps.
There was an immense crush of
buyers of Jubilee postage stamps at
the postoffice all day on Saturday,
and the receipts must have been
enormous. The purchasers bought
all denominations of the stamps and
many t,.ok a whole set. The specula-
tors were there in full force. and by
energetic work secured a good ..stock
in trade. It was estimated tout: the
issue would last for three nit ,ths but
if the sale keeps up as at present, ono
week will be sufficient to clear it all
out.
The crush was not confined to the
general postoffice. At all of the
branch offices where the supply was _
small the demand was so great that .
the stamps were speedily disposed of
and many would-be purchasers went
away disappointed.
Several policemen had their hands
full in keeping the crowd in line at
the postoffice during the morning. --
