It is required of each Postmaster to keep an account of Newspapers and Pamphlets received, according to the following form,
and to forward it to the Department with his other transcripts as a part of his quarterly account. No account need be kept of
Newspapers and Pamphlets Sent ; but the account of Newspapers and Pamphlets Received must be kept with great care and ac-
curacy.

Lexington, County of Fayette in the State of Kentucky, from April 1,
