Tin two local postmastsn, In common with others of the country, have received a notice from the postmaster general, which officials fixes the re-adoption of pre-war postal rates to take offect on July 1. From the first of the coming month on, the rates on all first-class mail will drop from three to two cents an ounce. Drop letters as well as those going out of town will be two cents, while postal cards will be one cent. The notice from the postal headquarters also states that those persons owning three cent stamped envelopes or two cent stamped cards will have the privilege of returning them to the postofflce and getting them exchanged for two cent envelopes and one cent post cards. No money will be refunded on stamps, but stamps of smaller denomination will be given in exchange. The exchange of the stanfps will be closed after August 1.

Due to the falling off "in mail and the huge increase in the cost of handling mailed material, the government found it imperative to raise the rates on first-class mail matter.

The law which was passed ordering the raise in mail rates provided also that the rates should be dropped to normal six months after the culmination 6f hostilities.

Last Saturday one of the most violent rain storms that has ever struck the vicinity visited PiBtakee Bay and Fox Lake, while Monday of this week the locality of Johnsburg and Spring Grove were visited. Monday's storm was of a most freakish nature, a real cloud burst occurring just this side of Johnsburg, and for a hort time the road leading past the Al. Pepping place was entirely flooded and impassable. However, the earth and creek near there soon took up the water and the highway was again passable.
