Oen Buy POSTAL NOTES Now. --The postal note system has been inaugurat- ed this week. The notes consist of :Sixteen denominations, ranging from twenty-five cents to five dollars. The Government's commission will be at the rate of two cents on notes up to 52,50, and three cents on the $5 notes. These postal notes will be issued by postnaasters throughout the .country similarly to post office orders, except- ing that you buy a, postal note the same as if it was a stamp or • postal card. These must be cashed within three months of the date of•their issue. NOXIOUS WEEDS .--GOin g along almost any of the country roads one is struck with the fact that pathnaasters neglect their duties so far as the de- struction of weeds ' is concerned. While farmers are doing their best to clean their farms and keep down the crop of thistles, along- the roadside they are permitted to blossom and spread by every wind, without let or hindrance. So long as this occurs it is impossible to keep them out of farms. If all farmers were to follow the ex- ample of the farmers along the Lon- don road north to Hensall, there would be few weeds in the country. IMPERIAL SOLDIERS WILL GET MED- ALS.—All those who served in the army or Navy, during the Fenian Raids of 1866, and 1870, and in the Red River expedition, should forward their names to the general officer in com- mand of the British troops at Halifax, stating tlaeirregiment. regimental num- ber, captain of the company or battery, places where served while out on active .service to receive medals.

Notice is hereby given to applicants who belonged at that time to the Imperial forces, that all appli- cations for medals for the Fenian Raid of 1866 shoulcl be addressed the general officer commanding the troops, in Can- ada, at Halifax, N.
