PASCUA POIIT—CIRTIFICAILS OF POSTISO.—With
• riew to striving at • conclusion whether certificatrs
shell be given on the posting of parcels, the Poet-
master-Demsral has decided to try the plan
trtally at • few selected towns. At the = poet-
. lithos* towns, forms of oestlficate will lie on
the public counter, and anyone bringing • parcel to
post, if he desire • certificate, may fill up one of these
forms with the name arid addrese of the person to
whom the parcel la dinectal, when it will be tbe duty
of the °thew in attendanco to stamp the form with the
aloe stamp. Tbis certificate, it will of course be
understood, does not indicate that any liability
attaches to the l'ustmaster-asneral in the event of lose
or damage. A list of parcels, when more than one
parcel is brought by the same person. may be similarly
stamped with the office ntecip. This of course will
obviate the necessity of filling up • separate form in
respect to each parcel.
