RANDOM NOTES ON NATURAL HISTORY.

NOTICE. 



We beg to urge upon our Customers the necessity of Writing 

 Carefully and Distinctly all Names and Addresses. 



We have almost continually two or three letters filed awa^' that have not been signed 

 at all, or else the writer gives his name and the cit}', and neglects to make mention of 

 the state. This last we frequently rectify by referring to the envelope. If these letters 

 contained stamps or postal note, the writers usually write again after a time, explanations 

 are then in order, and matters easily adjusted ; but in the interim, and about some others 

 that are never explained, we are doubtless subjected to many railing accusations.
