ERRATA. ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. Postal Rates and Regulations.-The new Postal Convention with the United Kingdom, which goes into operation on January 1, 1869, establishes the following rates of international postage: I, Letters twelve cents per single rate of fifteen grammes, one half ounce, in the United States, and six pence (twelve cents) in the United Kingdom; pre-payment optional. A fine of five cents in the United States, and two pence (four cents) in the United Kingdom, is, however, to be levied and collected, in addition to the deficient postage, on each unpaid or insufficiently pre-paid letter received by one country from the other. 2. Newspapers, two cents each in the United States, and one penny each in the United Kingdom, if not exceeding four ounces in weight. 3. Book packets, including printed papers of all kinds, and patterns or samples of merchandise, including seeds and grain, when not exceeding one ounce in weight, two cents in the United States, and one penny in the United Kingdom; when exceeding one ounce, and not exceeding two ounces in weight, four cents in the United States, and two pence in the United Kingdom; when exceeding two ounces, and not exceed ing four ounces in weight, six cents in the United States, and three pence in the United Kingdom; and when exceeding four ounces in weight, an additional rate of six cents in the United States, and three pence in the United Kingdom, will be charged for every additional four ounces, or fraction thereof. The postage chargeable as above upon all articles of printed matter, including patterns or samples of merchandise, must be fully prepaid at the mailing office in either country, and is in full to destination, the receiving country delivering the same in all cases without any charge whatever. GAZETTEER. Cameron.-West Cameron p. o. is abolished. South Cameron is a post office in the south part of the town. Corning.-Gibson is a post village. Sylvester Gillett, son of Joseph Gillett, one of the early settlers of Corning, then Painted Post, says his father came to this town in 1779 or 80, but from other information we think he made a mistake in the year; as to the other items we presume he is all right. Mr. G. was obliged to go to Tioga Point to mill, a distance of forty miles. His mode of transportation was a canoe, and the time occupied by the trip about three days. He purchased a farm upon the river flats for five dollars an acre; it is now worth about one hundred. In 1813 he was a soldier in the company of Captain John Kennedy, and at the sortie opposite Black Rock, on the Canada side of the river, was wounded. He was removed to the residence of his father-in-law, at Honeoye Hollow. Mr. Gillett owned a mare that he frequently rode to his father in-law's, and while there awaiting transportation, that mare broke out of her inclosure and went fifty miles to Honeoye Hollow, and was harnessed with another horse to carry her master to his home upon a feather bed. This was regarded at the time as a very singular circumstance. Greenwood.-Rough and Ready p. o. is abolished. Jasper.-North Jasper is a post office in the north-east part, Wayland.-Perkinsville is a post village. Woodhull.-Hedgesville is a post office. East Woodhull is a post office in the east part.

The Reynold's Steel Tempering Works, Reynolds, Barber & Co., Proprietors, at Auburn, are largely engaged in the manufacture of Reaper and Mower Knives, Plane Irons, Chisels, &c. The process by which they temper steel is a peculiar one, and as patented by Mr. Reynolds, is the result of over forty years labor. This gentleman always worked on the plan that tempering steel was simply changing it from a fibrous to a granular state. He certainly has succeeded in producing a finer granulation (temper) than has ever before been produced. Messrs. Reynolds, Barber & Co., control the patents for these processes, and are applying them successfully in all their manufactures.Their establishment is capable of turning out an immense amount of work, yet their orders are now, and have been for some months, accumulating far in advance of their present ability to supply; a circumstance which they will not long allow to be the case. We predict that the time is not far distant when all Mower and Reaper Factories and farmers will use their improved sections. See their advertisement on page 6, fronting the Introduction.
