Postal Relations with Canada.

The Postmaster General has issued the following order to postmasters: On and after the first day of January, 1875, all printed matter of the second class, destined for Canada, will be treated as though it was destined for the United States, the arrangement with the Canadian postal authorities being that it shall be delivered free of charge. All matter of this class coming into our offices from Canada will be delivered by this Department free of charge. The same rule also applies to transient newspapers and postal cards. On and after February 1st, 1875, the single letter rate to Canada will be three cents, prepayment obligatory, and all letters received from Canada will be delivered free of charge.
