Stamped letter sheets just issued by
the postofiice department for the first
time will be on sale at the various
postof1ices about October /. Like the
stamped envelope they will be sold at
the price of postage with the cost Of
paper added. The manufacturers Us.
sumo all the risk in placing the letter
sheet upon the market, as the post
master general was in doubt whether
the demand would justify issuing it..
The continuation of the sheet will de-
pend entirely upon the sale. 1t is
about two years since the twocen
postage bill became law. The effect
upon the postal card for q time was to
curtail its issue, but that point of de.
preston is now passed and more cards
are used than ever.

Last Sunday morning, about
o'clock, some of our citizens were
rudely awakened from their slumbers
by terrific report, caused by the
collision of the Montreal passenger
train and the yard engine, the latter
being attached to quite a number of
freight cars. The two engines were
badly damaged also several of the
freight cars. Providentially none of
the train men were seriously hurt, one
or two being slightly bruised. Several
circumstances Seem to have transpired
in bringing about the accident, but it
will probably be ascertained, during
the official investigation into the mat
ter, upon whom the blame rests.
