i THE CITY MIssIoN.-We are requested to
publish the following for the information
of all interested in the work Of this associa-
tion: ia. ..,., r.,
All visitors Of the City Mission who were
not present at the meeting OF the Society
Saturday will please take notice that by a
vote OF the Society all orders are to be sus-
pended during the coming week except
those calling for tea and sugar for the sick.
| Tie treasury OF the Society is so low,
lowing to constant drains and few new con-
trlbutiops, that the ladies are reluctantly
obliged to curtai their expenses in this
way until some means OF 'replenishing the
TREASURY shall be found. Not only are the
funds almost exhausted, but the supplies OF
| old clothing, shoes, &c, are exceedingly
limited. ... f.... r.. +. .:.sE.;.s
| In view OF the destitution among the
many sick and otherwise needy OF the city,
this state Of pecuniary exhaustion is ex-
ceedingly painful to the visitors, whose
hopes OF relieving sickness and starvation
are suddenly cut of. ,.- -s
| This week the regular soliciting commit
tee of the Society will canvass the city
anew, and IL is earnestly hoped that they
will meet with such"a generous and prompt
response from our citizens that the Sotiety's
EeXbausted treasury may be filled and their
empty wardrobe once more replenished.
REGISTERED LETTERS Notwithstanding
1.-THE frequent explanation Of the method Of
Registering letters for transmission in the
jIlmaiis, we are informed by post-afice off,
cials that many persons who present letters
|for registration seem utterly ignorant of
1.-THE fact that the only difference in the start
between registered letter and one not re-
.gistered is that the sender gets receipt for
the former, and has to pay, in addition to
postage, a registry-fee Of ten cents in post
age stamps Tor one ten.cent sGdmp). A let
tier to be registered should be sealed or
Iclosed, and the postage and fee prepaid
lWith stamps iustas III Were to he dropped
jintp the ereeeptacIe tie l,est-ohee or in a
Istreet letter-box. The name. and address Of
1.-THE sender (which should be on every letter
|sent through the mails, whether registered
or not). must, moreover, be written or print
ed on the envelope. When these simple
conditions are complied with, the letter is
ready for registrations. The stamps required
| toprepay the postage on letters, registered
Tor unregistered, are procured in this city al
the "stamp.window," not at the register
ing counter. When money is enclosed in 8
registered letter the amount should not be
made known to the registering clerk.
