SUGGESTIONS TO THE PUBLIC.

Facilities are given to the post-office officials in the discharge of their daily duties, and greater security afforded to the public, by careful attention to the fol- lowing recommendations:

Make the address on letters legible and complete, giving the name of the post-office, county and State. The name of the street and number of the house should also be given on letters addressed to cities where let- ter carriers are employed; while the letter will eventu- ally reach its destination without a number, the omission is often a cause of hesitation and delay. In the case of letters for places in foreign countries, the name of the country as well as the post-office should be given in full. Letters addressed, for instance, merely to " London," without adding " England," are frequently sent to London, Canada, and vice versa, thereby causing delay, and often serious loss.

On local or drop letters, at offices where free deliv- ery by carriers is uot established, one cent for each half ounce or fractiou thereof.

REGISTRATION' OF DOMESTIC LETTERS.

Letters may be registered on payment of a fee of ten cents in addition to the regular letter rate of post- age, but the Government takes no responsibility for safe carriage, or compensation in case of loss. Post- masters are required to register all letters properly presented for that purpose, but no letters are to be registered on Sunday.

Third and fourth class matter may also be regis- tered, but must be unsealed, fully prepaid at the proper rates, and conform to all requirements.

POSTAL CARDS.

The object of the postal card is to facilitate letter correspondence, and provide for the transmission, through the mails, at a reduced rate of postage, of short communications, either printed or written in pencil or ink. They may, therefore, be used for or- ders, invitations, notices, receipts, acknowledgments. price lists, and other requirements of business and social life; and the matter desired to be conveyed may be either in writing or in print, or partially in both. The postage of one cent is paid by the stamp impressed on these cards to any office in the United States, and no further payment is required. No card is a " postal card" except such as are issued by the Post-Office Department. According to the provisions of the Treaty of Berne, postal cards may be sent to the following named countries (or others included in the General Postal Union), on the prepayment of postage two cents, viz: Algeria, Austria, Belgium,

Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Great Britain and Ireland, Greece, Holland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and Turkey ; also to Newfoundland, on prepayment of two cents, and to Canada same as do- mestic.

POSTAL MONEY ORDER SYSTEM.

The money order system is intended to promote public convenience, and to secure safety iu the trans- fer, through the mails, of small sums of money. All principal Post Offices receive money and issue drafts for the same upon other Post Offices, subject to the following @arges and regulations:

DOMESTIC RATES .- On orders not exceeding $15, 10 cents ; over $15 and not exceeding $30, 15 cents ; over $30 and not exceeding $40, 20 cents ; over $40 aud not exceeding $50, 25 cents.

CANADIAN RATES .- On orders not exceeding $10, 20 cents ; over $10 and not exceeding $20, 40 cents ; over $20 and not exceeding $30, 60 cents ; over $30 and not exceeding $40, 80 cents ; over $40 and not exceeding $50,$1.

BRITISH, SWISS, GERMAN AND ITALIAN RATES .- On orders not exceeding $10, 25 cents ; over $10 and not exceeding $20, 50 cents ; over $20 and not exceeding $30, 75 cents ; over $30 and not exceeding $40, $1 ; over $40 and not exceeding $50, $1.25.

A money order may be issued for any amount from one ceut up to fifty dollars inclusive, but fractional parts of a cent must not be introduced into any money order or account. When a larger sum than fifty dol- lars is required, additional orders to make it up must be obtained. Not more than three orders of fifty dollars each can be remitted by one person each day to one payee.

An order is only payable at the office upon which it is drawn. The order should be collected within one year from its date. After once paying an order by whomsoever presented, provided the required infor- mation has been given by the party who presented it, the Department will not hold itself liable to any fur- ther claim, but in case of improper payment of an order, will endeavor to recover the amount for the owner.

FREE POSTAL DELIVERY.

The Free Postal Delivery System is similer to the one so successfully maintained in several of the large Eastern cities. There are forty-two districts, each of which is in charge of a carrier, who delivers promptly all mail matter received at the Post Office, upon which is written the correct address, street and number of the party for whom it is intended.

All persons who desire their letters, etc., retained until called for, must leave their address at the Post- Office.

CHURCHES.

Dixon & Bernstein, Show Case Manuf's, 250 Market St.

BAPTIST. First Baptist Church.

Location, north side of Eddy street, between Jones and Leavenworth. Pastor Rev. E. H. Gray D. D., residence Blundell House, southeast corner of Fifth and Market streets.

This church was organized in June, 1849, under the laborsof its first Pastor, Rev. O.C.Wheeler. The society purchased a lot on Washington Street, between Dupont and Stockton, in the Spring of that year, for the sum of $10,000, and erected a wooden edifice thereon. It was dedicated in August, 1849, and was the first Pro- testant house of worship erected in California. Mr. Wheeler's påstorate ended in November, 1851. He was succeeded by the Rev. B. Brierly in May, 1852, who of- ficiated until May, 1858. In July, 1859, Rev. D. B. Cheney was called to the pastorate, and continued in charge until 1867, when he was forced to resign on &c- count of ill-health. After his resignation, Rev. C. A. Buckbee officiated as pastorate supply until the arrival of Rev. J. B. Thomas, February, 1868, who continued in charge until December, 1868, when he also was com- pelled by ill-health toresign. The Rev. A. R. Medbury took charge in November, 1870, and officiated until June 1, 1872, being succeeded by the Rev. E. B. Hul- bert, who officiated as Pastor until December, 1877, when he resigned, on account of ill-health, and was succeeded by the Rev. G. T. Abbott, who officiated until January 1, 1879, when he resigned, and a few months after the present pastor, Rev. G. H. Gray, took charge.

During the Summer of 1857 a substantial brick edi- fice was erected on the site of the old edifice, in which the congregation worshipped until the Summer of 1875, when the lot and building was sold for the sum of $29,500, and the erection of the present place of worship immediately commenced. Services werc first held in the vestry of this building the fourth Sunday in January, 1876. While the edifice was being erected, the congregation worshipped in Washington Hall.

From this church the Columbia Square Baptist Church was organized, December, 1862 ; the Tabernacle Baptist Church, December, 1865 ; the San Pablo Bap- tist Church, February, 1867, and the Fifth Baptist Church, September, 1869.

Number of communicants, three hundred. The Sabbath School has an average attendance of about two hundred and fifty. The library contains about one thousand volumes.

Sabbath services morning and evening. Sabbath School at half-past twelve o'clock P. M. Prayer Mect- ing every Monday and Wednesday evenings; Church Covenant Meeting the Wednesday evening preceding the first Sabbath in each montlı.
