POST OFFICE STAMPS. Post-office stamps for the convenience of pre-paying postage are to be issued on the 1st of July. The stamp for ten cents will be of the head of Washington, colored black. The five cents' stamp will be colored brown, and will represent the head of Franklin. The law says --
"Any letter or packet, with one or more stamps affixed, equal in amount to the postage properly chargeable thereon, may be mailed and forwarded from any post office as a pre-paid letter or packet: but if the stamps affixed be not adequate to the proper postage, the postmaster receiving the letter will rate it with the amount deficient in addition."
