thought they were the advance of

so. • -
Buller, according to bhe relieving
force, is ra,pidly moving north along

expected Buller's mate column will

hills that had been occupied by tbe
enemy to the southwest were bare of

A despatch from Ottawa says e -The
Post -Office Department has issued the
following notices to the public: -
The reduction in the postage rate
ein • bank pass -books, which was
announced in the supplement for July
last, has been extended to the pass-
books used by building, loan, and in-
vestment. societies. Such pass -books
will therefore in future pass by post
at the 'ate of one cent per two
ouncee. ,
Several eamplaints, some of which,
it is feared, are well founded, %Mee
reached the department respecting the
removal of stamps from letters in
course of post. Such a practice is
Most reprehensible, and should any
act of tthis nature be proved against
an officer of the postal service, the
(tepee -talent would deal with the mat-
ter very seriously.
The department Me endeavoured on
more than one previous occasion to
impress upon postmasters the neces-
sity of caretuity examining the ad-
dresses of !titters they 'reeeive, and
particularly ot those addressed to par-
ties Wholul they do not know. In the
latter case there is always a possible-
ity that • the letter has been new.
sent through a misreading of the ad-
dress or otherwise. • A postmeater
receiving a letter addrelised to a bust-
nees firm, hotel, bank, or other mem
institution which does not exist in his
locality may be reasonably certain
the letter is not foe his delivery, even
though the name of hig offiee appears
thereon. A poetmester may tuwaye
tend specially to the proper braneh
dead letter office a letter which for
any reeison be cannot deliver.
The question le minetiraes rais5d, as
to whether there is not a reduced
rate of postage on unsold newspapers
returned to offices for publication.
There is no reduced rate on such, mat-
ter; the, rate is the ordinary printed
raatter one of one tent per four ounces
