It has generally been described as

lasted from nine to two.

Wo lad the following item in the
of tho Ft. Worth Gasette
i Albany, under dale of Sept.
Under the new postal law whioh
goes into effeot October 1, and under
whioh the price of letter postage is re-
duced to two cents, all letters must be
prepaid, or they will not be forwarded
to their destination. The law has
been, heretofore, that one full rate,
three cents, would carry a letter to its
destination, leaving the receiver to
pay whatever balance might be due.
But this is now to be ohanged, and
full rates must be prepsid, be they
two, four, Six, or eight oents, or any
amount, before the letter csn leave
tbe home office, and it will be well for
all parties who have been a trifle care-
less in the past to remember that as,
by so doing they iniy save muoh de-
lay, aggravation and inoonvenionce in
tbe future,—Texas Faryi snd Ranch.
Belton Reporter: Ws nave before
us a newspaper curiosity. It is a
copy of the Ulster County Gaxette,
published at Kingston, N. Y., Jan., 1,
in the year 1800. It was tbe first
number published afther the death
of General Washlngton,and Its heavy
reversed column rules and dash rules
with deep heavy border, indicate tbe
spirit of mourning that the people of
the United States felt for the great
man. It givee a foil aocount of his
death and bnrial. Here is tbe clos-
ing eentencee of the editor's notice of
tbe foneral obsequies : "Tbe sun was
not settiag. Alas! tbe sun or ou>ar
was aet forever. No— tbe name of
Waahington—tbe American pros!
dent and general—will triumph over
death. Tbe unclouded brlghtnees
of bla gloiy will illuminate the
future ageel"
Tbia paper is the properly of Mr.
L. Rounds, a young man employed
in the Reporter oloe. It was his
father's and grandfather's. Although
neerly eighty-four years old, there
is net a break in it snd rhows that its
owners have exercised remarkable
care in ita preeervatlon.
