Missed or Delayed Correspondence. When correspondence has been missent or delayed (both of which are liable to happen occasionally) all that the addressee need do is to note on the cover, Sent to or Retcited at 7p.m., or as the case may be, and forward it, without any other writing whatever, to the Postmaster General. This should be acted on the first time cause of complaint occurs; it is a mistake to Ist such matters pass for fear of giving trouble, a course which generally gives more trouble in the end.

PARCELS. The public is reminded that there is no such thing as Parcel Post to Europe, &c. Much trouble and disap- pointment are caused by persistent attempts to sand- small valuable trifles through the Carice, Articles of Dress, Post. Fans, Fanoy Work, and similar presents are con tinually being refused, the sendars having uften spent more in Postage than would have paid the froight by steamer. No mund ta be made on such parools of the refund value of Stamps obliterated before the nature of the contents was discovered.
