No mail mat ter is to be delivered until the postage is paid, and box rent must be paid one quar ter in advance. Carriers for local collec tion and delivery are to be paid a salary —a feature in the law which will not work to the public advantage, as well as the present regulation, which insures faithful service by making the profits of the car rier depend upon it. As the carrier, un der the new law, will get his salary wheth er he delivers letters promptly or not,, he has no very strong motive, like his inter est, to assist him in searching for persous who have letters directed to them, and the public convenience may often give place to the personal convenience of the carrier.

The maximum weight for the single rate of letter post* age is one-half The rate of postage on all domestic letters not exceeding one-half ounce shall be uni form at three cents; and for each half ounce, or fraction thereof, of additional weight, an additional rate of three cents, to be in all cases prepaid by postage stamps. Drop or local letters, two cents per halt ounce, prepaid by stamp; a»id no carrier’s fees shall be charged or col lected upon letters delivered by them, nor upon any letters collected by them for mauing'or for delivery. If mail matter is not prepaid, double rales arc charged at the delivering office, except soldiers’ aud sailors* letters. The maximum standard’ weight for sin gle postage on printed matter is four oun* nes postage two cents, prepaid by stamps. I Tinted books pay double the above rates, and unsealed circulars pay two cents for eveiy three circulars. Newspapers, liot over four ounces,, pay as follows: once a week, per quarter, 5 cents; twice a week, do., 10 cents; three times a week, do., lo cents; six times a week. do.. do cents'; seven times a week, do., dd cents; one rate or five cents, is added for each issue more than once a week. Letter rates are to be charged on irregular matter, pari written aud part printed, except that pub lishers may send and secure proof-sheets and advise patrons, by writing on papers, when their subscription is up, at printed matter rates. On unclassified matter, where no. specific rate is set down, letter postage is charged. Weekly newspapers are free within the county in which they are published. Magazines issued loss fre quently than once a week pay one cent lor four ounces to their regular subscri bers. Letters must be advertised in newspa pers having the largest circulation within the special district.
