PosrAGE TO Nova ScorIA.-During the
last two or three weeks q large number
of letters, amounting to some halfdozen
daily, have been dropped into the Vir-
cinia city and Gold Hill postoHices,
directed to Nova Scotia, each only bear
ing stamps to the amount of ten cents,
when fifteen cents is the regular post
These letters are not detained for
non-payment of postage, but the ten
cent stamps are cancelled and the letters
forwarded with "due fifteen cents"
marked upon them. Thus those stamp
ing their letters short, lose their ten
cents, and the full fifteen cents is col
lected at the destination of the letters,
while those stamped in full are all right.
The Postmasters are not allowed by law
to acknowledge anything short OF the
full postage. The postage to Canada is
ten cents, which probably is the occa-
sion of the mistake being made by those
writing to Nova Scotia. Those inter-
ested will please take notice. We make
this item for their special Information,
at the request of the Postmasters.

We saw a man in that meat
