Stamped envelopes of the same kind are to be furnished. They will be ready early in July. New Internal Revenue Stamps will be issued in place of those now in use. They will have a border around the vignette, on which will be printed, at the top, figures representing three or four years, as ’63, ’64, *65, and on the sides and bottom, the names of the months and figures for the days, from 1 to 30. The method of cancellation will be to cut out with a knife, before affixing the stamp, the whole border, except the letters and figures representing the date required. This will render the second use of a stamp impossible. Stamps of a similar character have been suggested for postage. Cambridge : Electrotyped and Printed by Welch, Bigelow, к Co, - i 6 !
