LETTER DOXES.
Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not scaled, that is to say, the box is fastened
with sealing wax, but there is no impression of a
seat.
The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boxes with some recognisable scal, and of sending a chit- book or receipt with thein. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office; the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage stamps,

RAZORS MOST CAREFULLY RE-SET.-
Mr. MOORE begs to recommend his
GOGO SHAMPOO WASH
to the public as unrivalled by any prepara tion ever produced for promoting the growth of the hair. The basis of this compound is made of soap root; the natives of the Philip pine Islandi never use anything else for washing their hair; they are never found bald, and it is quite common to see the females with hair from 3 to 6 feet long. By constantly using this shampoo Wash as directed, you will NEVER BE BALD.
The proprietor offer the Wash to the public entirely confident that by its restorative pro- pertice it will without fail arrest decaying hair. It completely eradicates scurf, dandruff, and cures all diseases of the scalp. It does not contain any poisonous drugs. By its cooling properties it allays the itching and fever of the scalp, which is the great cause of people losing their hair.
to
Mr. Moone has succeeded in being able to put this wash up in bottles without allowing it ferment, and he will guarantee if to keep any. length of tints in any elimate.

Commercial papers signify such papers as, though written by hand, do not bear the charac ter of an actual or personal correspondence, such as invoices, deeds, copied music, &c. The charge is the same as for Books, but all packets of and under 4 oz. weight are charged 5 Cents..
TEA MUSTERS,
Persons who send Musters of Tea through the flat or square instead of round, as it is impossible Post in Tins are requested to have them made
to pack round tins securely in the mail bags. It in believed that the tea will travel more safely in flat tins, which are not so liable as round ones to be bulged in. 4 by 3 by 1 inches is suggested as a good size. The tins should not have sharp
Comers.
