POSTAL PUZZLES. INSTANCES OF DEPARTMENTAL PERSPICACITY, A couple of instances of postal perspicacity are reported from the Llangollen district. Among the letters which arrived at the Pontfadog Post-office during the week was one which may be described as a postal puzzle. In place of the usual address, the face of the envelope bore a sketch map of the district between Chirk and Pontfadog, including the Great Western Railway to Oswestry, viaduct 9e*r*0 £ > Holyhead Road, Chirk Church, Hand Hotel, audi all the prominent landmarks of f -*a t'18 l°ft-hand bottom corner wss printed 11 To postmaster at Chirk. Please follow the rod line until Pontfadog is reached. 0 indicates where this note is to be left. I forget name. Little wonder that, at first, the postmaster at Pontfadog was rather puzaled. Oa closer examination, however, it was found that there was a red line drawn from Chirk Post-office along the Glyn Valley Railway to Pontfadog, and at the end of the line was the 0, where the Swan Hotel is situated, and to the owner of this house the letter was rigbtiy delivered. A second letter, from Rawtensfall, was addressed" to a private individual, "c/o the Wynnstay Arms, Saint CoJlen-ap G-wynawg-ap GIYDdawg-ap Oowdra-ap Caradog Freichfras—ap Meirion-ap Eraiou-ap Cyneddfa Wiedig." The writer thus sets forth the pedigree of St. Collsn but it must have required cute Celtic perspicacity to discover that the destination of the letter was Llangollen, where it was delivered without delay.
