...behavior of some of the students at the Post-Office on Sundays has lately given rise to considerable annoyance; not patient enough to take their place in line and ask in their turn for their letters, they must needs elbow their way up to the front and get some friend to ask for them. The line is thus often kept motionless for two or three minutes, while one man is asking for the host of friends standing around.
