any amount of stamps which remained on
liand at the close of the preceding quar
ter, adding thereto the amounts received

Department
Any letter or packet with one or more
postage stamps affixed equal in amount
to the postage properly chargeable there
on, may be mailed and forwarded from
any post office as a prepaid letter or
packet; but if the postage stamps affixed
be not adequate to the proper postage,
the postmaster mailing the letter or pack
et will admit the prepayment of as many
rates as the stamps upon it represent,
and charge the excess with postage at
the unpaid rate to be collected at the of
fice of delivery.
All postage stamps affixed to any let
ter, packet or parcel of any description
must be immediately and effectually can
celled in the office in which the letter,
packet, or parcel may be deposited for
deliver or transmission.
At the large offices they will be can
celled, with an instrument to be furnish
ed by the Department. In post Offices
not so furnished, the stamps must be thor
oughly cancelled by making several
heavy cross or parallel lines upon each
of them with a pen dipped in good black
iuk. The cancelling instrument should
be used with black printers' ink, when
that material can be obtained:
If the cancelling have been omitted on
the mailing of the letter, packet, or par
cel, or if the cancellation be incomplete,
the postmaster at the office of delivery
will cancel the stamps in the manner di
rected, and forthwith report the delin

Importaxt Decision. It has just
been decided in Pittsburg that a Sheriff
has no lesjal riciht to hire men to aid him
in preserving the peace. Atthe late riots
in Pittsburg in the iron works the Sher
iff employed certain military companies
to defend the mills. He may command
citizens and soldiers to aid him in keep
ing order and quelling riot, and it is the
public duty of every man to obey him,
but he has no authority to hire. Ity this
decission the Sheriff will have to pay
2,000 of his own mone.
