TIh laws and regulations of this departmen are so many and complicated, and ar so often changed, that it is bard for th general public to keep thoroughly posted A great many people do not know wha is included under the heads of first second and third class matter, nor th rates of postage on each class. Thi article from Mr. Boone will give tha information and a great deal more. W suggest to our readers to clip the articl out, and paste it in some convenien place for reference: SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC. Facilities are given to the post officl officials in the discharge of their dail: duties, and greater security afforded t the public, by a careful attention to thi following recommendations: To mail all letters as early as prac ticable; to make the address legible an( complete, giving the name of the pos office, county and State; to see tha every letter, newspaper or other pack age sent by mail is securely folded an( fastened. A much larger portion of the un, delivered letters could be returnec if the names and addresses of the senders were always either fully ani plainly written inside or embossed or the envelopes. Persons who have a largE correspondence find it much more con. venient to use special request envelopes Those who write an occasional lettei can avoid much trouble by writing the request to be delivered on the envelope Postage stamps should be placed or the upper right hand corner of the ad dressed side of all mail matter. Stamp. cut from stamped envelopes, mutilatec postage stamps and internal revenuc stamps cannot be accepted in paymen1 of postage. ~ To use, or attempt to use in payment of postage, a postage stamp or stamped envelope, or any stamp cui from a stamped envelope, which ha, been before used in payment of postage is punishable with a fine of $50. In using postal cards, be careful no' to write or have anything printed or the side used for the address, except th< address; also be careful not to paste gum or attach anything to them. The3 are unmailable as postal cards wher these suggestions are disregarded. Printed matter, merchandise, and other third class matter cannot be for warded to the office to which it is ad dressed unless the postmaster is fur nished with postage for such purpose All packages mailed at less than let ter postage should be wrapped so theil contents can be readily ascertained without destroying the wrapper. Mattei contained in sealed envelopes, notchet at the ends, defeats the objects of the law, and is therefore made subject t< letter postage. The sender of any article of the thiri class of mail matter may write his 01 her name or address therein, or on th4 outside thereof, with the word "from above or preceeding the same. To enclose any written matter it printed matter subjects the mailing party to a fine of $5, unless the party addressed pays letter postage on th packages. The following articles are unmail able: Packages containing liquids, pois ons. glass, explosive chemicals, sharp pointed instruments, sugar, or any othei matter liable to deface or destroy the contents of the mail. The following are the rates of postag< on first class matter: On letters, sealet packages, mail matter wholly or partly in writing, except book manuscript ani corrected proofs passing between au thors and publishers, and except loca and drop letters or United States posta cards, all printed matter so marked a to convey any other or further informa tion than is conveyed by original print except the correction of mere typo graphical errors, all matter otherwise chargeable with letter postage, bu which is so wrapped or secured that il cannot be conveniently examined b: postmasters without destroying the wrapper or envelope, all packages con taining matter not in itself chargeabli with letter postage, but in which is enclosed or concealed any writing o1 memorandum or anything chargeable with letter postage, or upon which if any writing or memorandum, all mattei to which no specific rate of postage is assigned, and manuscript for publica tion in newspapers, magazines or pe riodicals, three cents for each half ounc< or fraction thereof. The following are the rates of postag< on third class matter: Mailable matte' of this class embraces all pamphlets occasional publications, transient news papers, magazines, books, periodicals hand-bills,posters, sheet music (printed) prospectuses, maps, proof-sheets, cor rected proof-sheets, and regular pub lications designed primarily for adver tising purposes or free circulation, 01 for circulation at nominal rates, ar< subject to postage at the rate of ont cent for each two ounces or fractioi thereof.

They each had a horse, and were taking the ups and downs together in a double buggy. They had several ups as well as downs before coming to South Fork, where the first serious down was experienced. In crossing, the crockery drummer's horse slipped his bridle while drinking, and horse like, he thought the water might be sweeter and more limpid farther down t stream; despite all efforts of driver and the shoe horse who each tried to pull the other way, he persisted in having his way and continued till he got into a quicksand up to his flanks, and then stuck. It was an awful moment-it seemed there would soon be two drum mers less-that the places which knew them would know them no more for ever. They prayed, then plunged into the flood, unhitched the horses, and suc ceeded in relieving the sinking animal. The next consideration was the buggy. This was no small job, bnrt they re joiced at length on seeing it safe on terra firma. Of course they were a little damp after getting out of the water, but have felt happy ever since, par ticularly as they afterwards learned that in that same place a four mule team with wagon and a load of corn, as also a buggy and horse, all sank to rise no more. This consoling information they obtained from Mr. John Duncan. 5 TRANSFERS OF REAL ESTATE. The following transfers of Real Estate were recorded during the week just closed: Mallie E. Bowers to D.

Debility, whether it be inherent, or caused by overtaxed strength, or protracted illness, has a most depressing influence upon the mind, breeding an abject melancholy nearly akin to de,pair, and enforcing the abandon ment of cherished projects and high hopes. Happily, the enfeebled system, even in ex treme cases, is susceptible of invigoration. It is proved by incontrovertible evidence that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an unfailiug strengthener of the weak, and that in addition to vitalizing the physical organization, it es tablishes regularity among those organs upon whose efficient discharge of the duties im posed on them by nature, continued vigor and health depend. Thousands of instances might be cited to show the regenerating influ ence of this health-giving agent in cases of debility, liver disease, dyspepsia, nervous ailments, constipation, intermittent fever, urinary and uterine troulDes, gout and rheu matism, and other maladies. 14-4t Commercial.
