Invention for letter Stamping.

--A most ingenious invention for the saving of time and labor is now in use at the post- office in Quebec. It consists of a letter-stamping machine, which is calculated to stamp thirty-five or forty letters per minute. The action of the machinery is so arranged that it will pile the letters neatly, in the order in which they have been stamped, thus facilitating dispatch to an immense extent. The inventor, a well known mechanic of that city, is about to procure a patent for his invention.
