ITEMS AT HOME AND ABROAD.
We cut the following from the Syracuse
Star. We have encountered the same difficult
ty with our Postage Stamps, and think the sug-
gestions of the StCr are worthy the attention OF
our readers. The practice of pre-paying letters
is becoming so general under the existing law,
that these stamps should be provided with an
adhesive preparation that will not operate as
"fraud." At any rate those who use the paid
stamps should look to it that they stick.
Postage Stamps.
The public ought to be aware that the post
are stamps are not now as they were formerly,
prepared for Use with gum on the backs so that
they can be fixed readily and firmly to the en-
vclope. In consequence of Il want Of care
very large portion of the prepaid letters bearing
evidently marks of having mad the stamp affixed,
arrive at their destination charged with i've
cent postage, and there is no remedy, however
evident it may be that the stamp has been lost
from off the letter. The unhappy consequent
ccs arising from this defect, are that the price
of postage is increased rather than dlmins ed,
and correspondents lie urdcr the imputatlon of
olacourlcsg Ill hot plcPuyi NY ic,'o'' vi

communications to editors and others whose
express condition is their prepayment
The public IRE cautioned of the necessity of
FASTING on the stamps themselves and thus
remedy what in he post Office department must
lr c,Ilod n dctnct, bu, in the cose of an indj>
vldull would be called fraud.
