TEE NEW PRIVATE POST CARD.— A con espondentof the Montreal Witness calls attention to the statement now going the rounds of the press that the use of the private post card, by affixing a one -cent stamp to an ordinary card, is now legal in Canada. He received such a card on Jan. 2nd—for which he was charged four cents. He wrote immediately to the Post Office inspec- tor, who replied to the effect that the instructions relate only to cards of 'British origin, so that an ordinary card on which only a one cent stamp is affixed, posted. in Canada, will be rated letter pottage and double the deficiency charged. All readers of THE NEWS RECOND who may have been misled by the erroneous statement previously published, will pleasetake notice of the error.
