A Hint to Stamp Collectors.

The army of postage stamp collectors should be on the lookout for a Dutch live-cent stamp, of exceptional value in the market. A short time ago in the Netherlandish letter-stamp factory at Haarlem, a few sheets of livecent stamps were accidently printed with blue ink instead of yellow. The mistake was first discovered by the postal officials at the stamping of the. letters. Several had already been sold and used, however, and a sum of fifty gulden is now offered for single specimens of these misprints.
