The Post -Master General has decided to relax the regulations on the subject of permissible printing on the face or address side of private post cards pass- ing between one place and another in Canada. No objection wilt, therefore, in future be made to printiug, designs, etc., provided ample space is left for the address and that there be a perfectly clear space free from. border, left for chu postage stamp. It is important that the postage stamp should be as consent uous as possible on the card, in order to facilitate its rapid and accurate can cellar ion in tbe Post Office and for tbia reason the sl'atte immediately surround ing it should be quite clear. Uuden' arraugements agreed to by the United States Post Office such private cards will be allowed trausmissiou through the United States mails, but no other countries have so agreed, and cards beating such designs, if forwarded to such other countries, would be liable to be returned to Canada conned Proceedfni M, The council met pursuant to order of the Reeve, at the Town.
