NEW POST Ai ENVELOPE. - The Tost
Office Department is about issuing two
new varieties of the stamped euvel
opes, which are well calculated to meet
t ie wants of the business public, j
They are the ordinary letter s'z ?, with ?
the double rate six cent stamp, ami
the official size, bearing a single rate
three cent stamp. Heretofore in
sending a letter weighing half an
ounce and more in the letter size Gov?
ernment envelope, it has been neces?
sary to use au adhesive stamp to it<-y
the excess of postage, thus ?isfignring
the appearance of the envelop.1, and
causing au increase of labor i:: tho
work of cancellation. Soin regard to
the oflicial size of stamped envelopes,
with an inclosure of ?ess weight than
half an ounce; the use of thc stamped
envelopes necessitated the loss of <uie
rate of postage. Both o? tin s?, in- !
conveniences areobvjptled My the h-suo !
of. the nev envelope:;, which will soon
be for?salff at the principal p?st offices
throeghout the country. The euvel- I
opes bro of a neat appearance, having '
the embossed stomps in the usual j
