►v c- Oo I 9 s 3 8 ' J > ls 4ou* tMI ** ■ Wo t* “Ifr Vork State Lit iitECTlSi THIRD OW dear to the eyes, when the heart’s beat is loyal, Are the time-honored features of one’s native place; Your home may be humble, but no Palais royal Wears half such a rare, irresistible grace. We love our own streets, we love our own people, We love the old school where we oft were “ kept in The Capitol, State-House, each sky-kissing steeple, And e’en the old Post-Office — ugly as sin ! It’s ugly, but trusty ; it cares for your letters; And you are its debtors, so praise it most lusty ! Each postman to-day, at the New Year’s first dawning, Greets his cherished Dutch city with smilingest face, And begs, as he hands you the mail of the morning, To tell you the state of the Post-Office case. Since last he addressed you, he’s done a year’s walking, To bring you your letters, and merit no blame; jf / A 2 Letter Carriers’ To-day “ Lend a Hand,” or, there’s no use of talking, He ’s really in danger of going dead lame ! In all sorts of weather he ’s kept on the go, And it’s dreadful, you know, on legs and on leather. Oh ! if it be giving instead of receiving, That makes the soul blessed—why, then it is clear That the postman ’s the cause of a deal of deep grieving, For he won’t let you give, save just once in a year ! His tramp never ends, like the soul of John Brown, From Monday’s first dawn on to Saturday’s eve, In the cold and the heat, “ marching on ” through the town, He does all the giving , and the public receive. In all sorts of weather he’s kept on the go, And it’s dreadful, you know, on legs and on leather. Jade Fortune, dear public, suppose you deceive her, By getting the start of all postmen to-day ; You can make each of us — an exhausted receiver Exhausted, yet fresh, as we go on our way. And when the New Year, just arrived, has departed, May we all, in its record, see naught to o’er grieve, But say, as we think of our deeds, tender hearted, “ It is surely more blessed to give than receive.” All hail to the New Year, may it not be ablue year; God make it a prosperous, happy and true year ! Annual Address. 3 M&raal .a >>€>*k< FREE DELIVERY. Free Delivery of Letters by Carriers, at the residence of owners, may be secured by observing the following rules : 1. Direct letters plainly to the street and number, as well as Post- Office and State. 2. Head letters with the name of the writer’s Post-Office and State, street and number. Sign them with full name, and request that answers be directed accordingly. 3. Letters sent to strangers or transient visitors in a town or city, whose special address may be unknown, should be marked, on the lower left hand corner, with the word “Transient.” 4. Place the postage stamp on the upper right hand corner, and leave space between the.stamp and direction, for postmarking, without interfering with the writing. 5. To insure direct delivery, persons should be particular, when directing letters, to state whether the street is “South,” “East,” “West” or “North.” N. B.—A request for the return of a letter to the writer, if un¬ claimed within thirty days, or less, written or printed, with the writer’s name, Post-Office and State, across the left hand side of the envelope, on the face side, will be complied with. Letters bearing such indorse¬ ments will be returned to the writer free of postage. Persons having their mail directed to the street and number, and wishing to get it on Sunday, can do so by calling at the Post-Office between the hours of 8 and 9 a. m. and 6 and 7 P. M. Parties now renting Boxes, or receiving their mail matters through General Delivery, can receive their mails, at their residences or places of business, regularly, and without risk, by the Carrier system of Free Delivery . An order to this effect, left at the Chief Clerk’s desk, will secure immediate attention. The advantage of the Free Delivery system cannot be too highly estimated. It is more regular, more secure and more convenient than the Box system. Many letters pass through the mails, reach this city and are deposited in the boxes safely, but, because of a divided responsibility, fail to reach the firm or family addressed. The Carriers are all sworn to a faithful performance of service, and are under heavy bonds for an honest discharge of duty. If the business community could be induced to cease sending Boys to the Post-Office for their mail matter, and accept the means provided by the Department for a safe delivery of letters through responsible Carriers, a great evil would be corrected, and many losses, now occur¬ ring, prevented. 6 Letter Carriers’ MONEY SENT WITHOUT DANGER OR LOSS. Especial attention is called to the Money Order system, as a safe and cheap method of transmitting small sums through the mails. Orders are issued in sums not more than $50. Larger amounts can be transmitted to the same person at the same time by additional orders. On orders not exceeding $20, - - - - - - - - 10 cents. Over $20 and not exceeding $30, --- -----15 cents. Over $30 and not exceeding $>40, -------- 20 cents. Over $40 and not exceeding $50, - - - - - - - - 25 cents. Valuable Letters should be taken to the Post-Office and Regis¬ tered. If money is to be remitted, a Postal Money Order should be obtained. If upon points where there is no Money Order office, then the letter should be Registered. Money should never be inclosed in an ordinary letter. No fractions of cents to be introduced in an order. The Money Order office will be open from 9 A. M. to 7 P. M. Never inclose money in a letter. Always procure a Money Order. Edward Low, Wm. W. Bennett, A. S. Davis, Clerks . Persons posting Letters containing values should be careful to require them to be Registered, and to obtain from the clerk a receipt for the same. Registration is not an absolute guarantee against the miscarriage or loss of a Letter ; but a Registered Letter can be traced, and the posting and delivery or non-delivery can be proved, when an unregistered Letter cannot.

The law provides that ‘ ‘ prepaid and free letters shall be forwarded, at the request of the party addressed , from one Post-Office to another, without additional postage. A letter which has been delivered by the Post-Office to an authorized person, and by him re-directed to another Post-Office, cannot be forwarded to its new address without the pre¬ payment of postage. Drop letters can be so forwarded; but they must be charged with letter postage — three cents for each half ounce or fraction thereof. The provisions of this act do not apply to any mail matter, except letters. POSTAGE ON NEWSPAPERS.

Six times a week, Tri-Weeklies, - Semi-Weeklies, - Weeklies, - Semi-Monthlies, not over 4 oz., Monthlies, not over 4 oz., Quarterlies, When not so prepaid, 35 cents per quarter. 30 do do 15 do do 10 do do 5 do do 6 do do 3 do do 1 do do 2 cents each.

The United States inland and Atlantic sea postage (which, in each case, on and after the ist of January, 1868, is ten cents the single rate), is increased by an additional rate, one-half ounce, or fraction thereof. Upon letters for all other places, an additional rate is reckoned for every one-quarter ounce, or fraction thereof. % Note 2. — When the letter “ b ” is prefixed, an additional rate is to be added to the foreign portion of the postage for each four ounces, or fraction thereof, if the news¬ paper exceeds four ounces in weight. The foreign postage, in each case, is ascertained by deducting, from the amount set down, the sum of two cents, which is the United States portion of the postage on a single newspaper, regardless of weight. In all other cases the postage is for each newspaper, without regard to weight. Note 3.—The rates set down for book packets and packets of patterns, etc., respect¬ ively, are to be charged for each four ounces, or fraction thereof.

Stamps cut from Stamped Envelopes cannot be used to prepay Postage. The use of such Stamps is punishable by a fine of Fifty Dollars. The regulations of 1866 pr(fvide that they “lose their legal value.” “The Postage on Stamped Envelopes, spoiled in directing, may be refunded, in Stamps, by a Postmaster, if they have never been sent by Mail, and the misdirection actually occurred at the place where redemption is claimed. In no case is an Envelope to be redeemed at the Post-Office to which it is directed.” POSTAL RULES. Many errors occur by persons not observing the following regula¬ tions in depositing letters, papers, or miscellaneous publications, in the office for mailing : All Drop Letters must be prepaid by Postage Stamps. Prepayment by stamps required on all letters to places within the United States. Full prepayment, by stamps, required on all transient printed matter, foreign and domestic. By inserting the county in which the office is located upon all letters, many errors in superscription might be detected, and mistakes in mailing be avoided.

DIRECTIONS TO KEY-HOLDERS. Upon positive information of a fire NEAR your signal box, unlock the door and pull the hook all the way down ; then wait a few moments, and, if you hear no ticking in the box, or alarm on the bells, go to the next nearest box to the fire. Never open the box or touch the hook except in case of fire. Never give an alarm except from the box nearest the fire. Be sure the box is locked before leaving it. Never let the key go out of your possession, unless to some respon¬ sible person for the purpose of giving an alarm, or when called for by the Superintendent.
