Mrs Ward, an eccentric physician Of
Philadelphia, has gone down to her
grave under the impression that the av-

she has advertised Tor a man and his
wife to take charge Of her establishment

brought many applicants, but the re.

not intended that the Postofice Depart

been TO make the Department self

quently been made, but the increase Of
mail matter consequent upon suoh re-
ducIions, has BEEN so grsht That tho
revenues were not diminished to any
considerable extent. The reduction Of

ment Of postage Oh Gecond.class matter
and the Introduction Of secret message
cards to take the place OF short letters,

are some Of the measures proposed by
some Of the friends Of reduction, and
We oHn zee no good rsasop why these
MEASURES should not be adopted. And
while Ne arc on the subject OF postal
reforms. We would suggest the propriety
Of adopting some measurs by which the
sender may DO informed OF the receipt
OF the order by this paysS. The use OF
q card similar TO the one used
in tho transmission OF registered
letters. would answer the purpose.
As il is, the sender Of a money order has
no means Of knowing whether bis order
has reached its destination except by
information from the receiver. which is
often neglected. and such neglect often
causes mucha anxiety on the part OF the
sender.
