Shippers are reminded that every bill of lading issued by the failroads must bear a 1 cent revenue stamp. The stamp must be affixed by the shipper, and can celed by writing his initials acr< st the face of the stamp in ink, together with the date of cancellation. Careful observance of this requirement will save both the shipper and the railroad agents much annoyance that might easily be avoided. The main thing to be remem bered is that it is not the duty of rail road agents to provide revenue stamps, or to attach them to the bills of lading issued. No shipment cun go forward unless the bill of lading covering same bears a 1 cent stamp. By order of the City Board of Edu cation, it is said, the school children will have only two davs vacation for Christmas, (24th and 25th,) and will be required to return to their books on Monday following.

Never before have they been given so brief a vacation for the Christmas holidays, and the action of the board in allowing only two days for the enjoyment of the season’s fes tivities is being freely criticized.
