Postage.

By Editor

We copy the following from the "Advent Herald" relative to postage on letters, which we think is a proper course to be adopted.

"As all letters (not weighing over half an ounce) may now be sent a distance of three thousand miles for three cents postage, when paid by the sender, which, if not thus paid, will cost the one who receives it five cents, it is expected that hereafter all who write letters will pay their own postage. Where a person wishes for an answer about what only concerns himself, or his own business, he will, besides paying his postage, enclose a letter-stamp to pre-pay the returned letter with.

Those writing from Canada, can now pre-pay their letters to any part of the United States for six cents."
