POST OFFICE NOTICE.
On the 9th November, 1878, when the S. S. Charlton was leaving for Port Darwin, Cooktown, and Sydney, some Chinese put a packet on board addressed to Chau Li, Cooktown, which con- tained 92 letters for Chinese there. This packet was overearried to Sydney, and sent back from Sydney to Brisbane. Having become open in the transit, the 92 letters were sent on separately to Cooktown, each one being charged 12 cents. These letters would probably be refused by the addressees.
Chinese traders are warned to bring their let- ters to the Post Office, so as to avoid such delays and charges as those described above.
