The Postmaster General has modified the
postal regulations OF 1879 relative to letter
carriers, by extending the limit of age OF
persons nominated for appointment as let
ter carriers, so as to include applicants not
over forty-Gve years old, instead of not
over thirty-fve as heretofore. The reason
OF this action was that the thirty-ive year
Limitation practically excluded soldiers
from appointment TO these positions, as
there are very few men who served in the
late war who are not now over thirty-live
wears of age.

Under William iii, registration was
for the first time turned to account as a
means of raising revenue. The earliest
statue having this object was called "An
Act for granting to His Majesty certain
rates and duties upon marriages, births,
and burials, and on bachelors and widow
ers, for the term of five years, for carry
ing on the war against France with Wig
Or" The duty on marriage under this
act ranged from Is. Cd. to ESQ, in proper
ton to the rank of the bridegroom; that
for births from 2s. to ESQ; and that for
burials from Is. to more than ESQ. The
statute also exacted from bachelors and
widowers above the age of 25 yearly
sum varying from Is. to f12 los. 1t
imposed penalty of e100 on those of
the clergy who should neglect registra-
ton, and empowered the Tax Collectors
to examine the registers without fee.
As might have been expected, births
were now concealed that the cost of reg
istration might be ESCAPED. This led to a
further enactment, which required par
ents, under penalty, to give notice of
births to the clergy within five days Of
their occurrence.
