How TO FORWARD MONEY THROUGH
A Posi- MAsTER.-The rules of the Gen.
efai Post Office, are very strict. and every
honest citIzen ought 10 realize the OBJ
legation OF CONFORMING as far as possible
TO all rules OF all public Offices: as those
who manage these departments have
plenty of unavoid ,ble tfouble from the
stupid and fraudulent. Now when YOU
wish your Post Master 10 send money for
you to the Emanclp ,tor, first appeal 10
him, respectfully, that you are one of these
who always conform to rules, and try to
make pubic business easy. Then ask
him 10 do you the favor you desire. If
he is a man Of business. he may feel that
1t Is too much Of a tax upon his time, to
write letter containing necessary direct
lonS about the money, and other inlorma.
lton connected there"jth; SO, to obviate
this, have u letter ajread written for him,
(not letter from yourseIf) that he can
sign, Just as ifit had been prepared by a
clerk of his own there will then be moth
ing for him to do, bat Just 10 put his name
at the bottom, close the letter, (aIready
dire, ted by yourSelf) and pat his frank on
he back. Very few Post Masters Will
refuse to do as much as this for any neigh
Dor, if properly applied to-day, do not
overload the letter with other things.
The letter may read thus:
"Sir-Mr. A. .. [your own nameI
wishes me 20 forward To you the sum of
S-fOr payment for yo1,, paper, to be ap-
piled to The following subscriptions.
{Eiere give all the names, sums, Post Of
.fce address, STATE, and other directions
and explanation necessary, and then tits
ready for him to sigu.)

THE EARTHQUAKE.-A correspond
ent of the Ledger thinks the supposed
earthquake Of Saturday evening IN this
city was nothing more than the jar and
noise Of an exploding meteor. An eye
witness, walking in the neighborhood of
Walnut and SchuykiII Fifth streets, about
9 O'Clock, was suddenly startled by the
rushing Of ball of fire, as large as ones
head, With few inches of the face Of
our informant. attended with strong sui
phurous smell, and sensation of heat
1t exploded on the opposite side of the
street, near the square, casting forth scin-
tllIatlons Of various cOIo's, with an unusu-
al lie ht appearing like rain Of fire A
report as loud as that Of cannon follow
d,-Phitadelph9a Sentinel.
