PROGRESS OF INTERCOURSE.


1t will hardly be credited as fact,
though true, that at no more remote a
period than 1888, there was but one mail
route in the whole United States, which
extended no further than from Portsmouth
10 Philadelphia, or Baltimore that the
mail was then carried in a portmanteau
by man Oh horseback, Messrs. Hyde
and Adams being the contractors and Car
giers); that itaRassed from Boston to
Hartford only once a week, and this was
then its uust rapid progress; aad that
now there Gre three thousand two huatlred
and fifty POST Office establishments; more
than four hundred and sixty mail contrac-
tors; and the mails are carried a greater
distance every week than the circumfer-
ence of the globe. Mr.. T.. Psase, Of
Shrewsbury, who is now alive. was the
first who contracted, in 1888, to carry
the mail in stages, in New England and
with the exception Of a contract made the
year before TO carry that between New
York and Philadelphia, in the United
States. To the assiduity, enterprise and
perseverance Of this gentleman, is the
country indebted for a great part of the
accommodation now so justly appreciated.

We continue to hear of thefs and
murders, and we do not find them alto
gether in our great cities. Wherever
intemperance can prevail, the worst vices
accompany it. But it has greater ten.
dency to the violation of life than Of pro,
perry. 1t has the same effect upon man
in and out Of civil society. 1t brutalizes
his manners, and destroys all the guards
of sympathy by increasing the irritation
Of his passions. All the evils the Indians
feel, other men of Incorporate habits
feel, and it would be contrary to fact to
say that the Indians feel them in the great
est degree. Nothing can tend more i'm
mediately to make all men alike in the
worst sense, than intemperance'

ACCIDENT.


Last Friday night, between eleven and
twelve o'clock, mulatto woman was ia
ken to the Pennsylvania Hospital, from
Blackberry Alley, aud died the next
morning. Her death was occasioned by
fire.
Ia coming down the stairs Of the house
she lived 10, her handkerchief was caught
by the flame of candle she was carry
ing; she Immediately rushed into the
street, and stood with her arms extended
at full length in blaze, and screamed out
murder, fire, &c. while every part Of her
clothing was reduced to ashes. The heat
was SO intense, that before any person
got to her, an excoriatioL took place on
her head, face, and arms, aaa almost ev-
cry part of her body, ai1i;ai The nails Of her
hands and feet were all burnt.
The publication Of this account is
meant as caution to those who set and
work by a candle; but more particularly
to those who are given to intemperace to
avoid it, for they, Of all others, are APT
to be careless, and sleep when they should
be on the watch.
