NOTES.
Almanacs heretofore have been suited to the Dial, which in the age of antiquity, was perhaps the only instrument in use for the mensuration of time : but the present calculations are adapted to Clocks and Watches, those machines of more modern inven- tion so generally used in the present day.

VI. JUNE, begins on Monday, 30 days
1840
Rule to find the length of the day Add 12 hours to the time of the Sun's setting, and from the sum subtract the time of rising. The old Rule, which was to double the time of the Sun's set- ting is not correct when the Equal Time is reckoned.
The day will be found, throughout the year, a few minutes longer than formerly, on account of the horizontal refraction bav- ing been allowed in making calculations.

LONGWORTH'S
Letters and newspapers are delivered out of the office every day, except Sundays, from 73 A. M. till 7} P. M., and on Sundays from 9 to 10 A. M. and from half past 12 to half past 1 P. M.
Newspapers to be forwarded by mail should be enclosed in a cover, and left open at one end, and the number of free papers, and those for subscribers respectively, endorsed on each packet ; and all newspapers enclosed in one package, provided they should not excecd twenty in number. If a letter or memorandum in writing is contained in any news- paper, the person who deposites the same forfeits five dollars, and the package becomes liable to letter postage.
Letters to be sent by mail should be addressed to the place of their destination in the clearest manner; they should always be directed to the nearest post-office, if the person to whom addressed does not reside where there is an office, and the name of the State should not be omit- ted ; letters are often mis-sent, from their ambiguous direction-a punctual attention to this rule may prevent delays and miscarriage.
1G If an abatement of letter postage be claimed, the letter must be opened in the presence of the postmaster, or one of his assistants ; and if such letter should, instead of being overcharged, happen to be under- charged, the deficiency must be made up by the applicant.
All letters which are lodged to go by the packets must be distin- guished by writing per packet, for there are places of the same name in the United States, similar to those in Europe.
