Employed in the Postal Service of Canada" dealt chiefly with the rates of postage and as these are important we feel it is necessary to reproduce most of this rather lengthy document _in extenso:_-- PRINCIPAL RATES OF POSTAGE. LETTERS. 5.--On letters passing between any two places within the Dominion of Canada, a uniform rate (irrespective of distance), of three cents per 1/2 oz., if prepaid; and five cents per 1/2 oz. if unpaid. 6.--On letters between any place in the Dominion and any place in the United States, 6 cents per 1/2 oz., if prepaid; and ten cents per 1/2 oz. if unpaid. 7.--On letters to or from the United Kingdom, in Mails by Canada Packets, to or from Quebec in summer, or Portland in winter; or by Mail Packet to or from Halifax, 12-1/2c per 1/2 oz. On do. in Mails via New York Packet, 15 cents per 1/2 oz. On letters to Prince Edward Island, if prepaid, 3 cents per 1/2 oz.; if posted unpaid, 5 cents per 1/2 oz. On letters to Newfoundland, to be in all cases prepaid, 12-1/2c per 1/2 oz. On letters to British Columbia and Vancouver Island, in all cases to be prepaid, 10 cents per 1/2 oz. On letters to Red River, to be in all cases prepaid, 6 cents per 1/2 oz. NEWSPAPER RATES. 8.--Newspapers printed and published in Canada may be sent by Post from the office of publication to any place in Canada at the following rates, if paid quarterly in advance, either by the Publisher, at the Post Office where the papers are posted, or by the subscriber, at the Post Office where the papers are delivered:-- For a paper published once a week, 5 cents per quarter of a year. For a paper published twice a week, 10 cents per quarter. For a paper published three times, 15 cents per quarter. For a paper published six times, 30 cents per quarter. If the above rates are prepaid by the Publisher, the Postmaster receiving payment must be careful to have the papers so prepaid separately put up, and marked, distinctly, as prepaid. When the above rates are not prepaid in advance, by either the Publisher at the office of posting or by the subscriber at the office of delivery, the papers are to be charged one cent each on delivery. 9.--Canadian Newspapers, addressed from the Office of publication
