THE NEW POST OFFICE STAMPS
AND ENVELOPES.

A number OF our friends In the coun-
try ask if the old style of stamps and
stamped envelopes are no longer good in
their respective localities. We answer
that the old stamps are good at all Offices
in Illinois and Indiana which may not
be earlier supplied with the new, until
the first Of October next; and the old
envelopes are good at all Offices not EARL
err supplied with the new, until the 10th
of September. In Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Michigan, the old cnvcl
opes are good until October lst, and the
old stamps until October 18th, except at
Offices that are supplied with the new
prior to those dates.
In every instance in which pos.oflice
is supplied with the new stamps and en-
velopes, the postmaster will, undoub,cd.
ly, be instructed to exchange the new for
the old. The goveinmrnt does not in.
tend to defrand any honest holder; but
to carry out its object successfully, the
time for making exchanges is necessarily
limited at each office for few days -
