Postage on Newspapers.

All Of our readers may not be aware that
thepostage on the Buge, ifpaid quarterly IN
advance, is but half cent paper, Whereas
if not paid thus the rate by law is two cents
per paper. 1t is not the duty of the Post
Master to retain papers on the account Of
non payment OF postage but it is his duty
to collect the fourfod rate when pre- payment
has been neg octed. Every newspaper read
err should take note of this, aud thereby save
IS cents year on one newspaper.
