THE POSTAGE LAW AND THE COUNTRY
PRESS.


The Senate Committee has reported the
House bill with various amendments among
others striking out the provision for the
free circulation OF papers for 80 miles or
within the County. The Committee are
sadly behind the times and understand but
little of the wants or wishes OF the people,
and seem 10 think the postage laws and
mail arrangements were intended solely for
editors and others residing in large cities.
The House, we are certain, will never
agree 10 this alteration, as the people in the
interior would rather see the whole bill
fall than have it passed as reported by the
Senate. The loss of revenue from this
source, would be much less than is imag-
ined. In looking over our list we find the
number of papers mailed, is something less
than one fourth of our issue, and the desl-
nation Of one half of these is over 80 miles,
so that IN reality the department would
only loose the postage on about one eighth
of the number published. Tn the older and
more thckly settled counties, the proper
tion sent by mail is still less, as the pub
fishers have an express of their own TO car.

MR.. BROADlIEAD.

As some of the Free traders profess to
hail the election OF MIR. Broadhead as salts
factory TO themselves, we will give our
readers some evidence Of his views on the
subject of the tariff. Mr.. Broadhead, du-
ring his Congressional career, has always
advocated Protection to American Indus
try, and voted against the passage of the
tariff of '46. In June 1916, he made an
able speech against that tariff, foil report
of which is published in the appendix to
the Congressional Globe of that year, page
97S from which we make the following
extract:
''Having thus shown, Mr.. Chairman, that
the treasury has been replenlshed, aud the
faith OF the nation maintained under that
practical operations of the existing tariff of
1912, what has been the condition of the peo-
pie ] nave no hesitatian in saying that it
has been generally prosperous The produc-
ttonS OF AGRICULTURE, ard the MECHANIC
ARTS have been MUCH GREATER than at any
former period of our history. The laboring
classes have been furnished with employ
ment, the most important of all means OF
benetitting them. The greatest good which
can be conferred upon the poor, is TO furnish
| them with useful and profitable labor It is
honest industry which makes the man The
interest of The laboring classes should be an
object of primary regard. We are here the
Representatives Of LABOR, and should never
be unmindful of our solemn duty 10 aid and
advance its interests. Every member upon
this floor, from the northern and western
States, owes his seat 10 the men who labor
and TO them is his highest responsibility
Labor is the great source of WEALTH anC
that policy which stimulates industry, anc
gives to the laborer The REWARD OF HIS TOLL
is BEST ADAPTED TO PROMOTE THE PRosPERI
TY OF THE COUNTRY. LABOR UNDER THI
EXISTING TARIFF (ls42) has been MUCH
BETTER REWARDED than under a hori
zontal scale of ad yalorem duties"

last TO secure better wages. One lady, a
shirt sewer, stated that she had been making,
for the California trade, shirts for two firms,
in Maiden Lane and William street, (Which
she named,) at Cd and Cd piece per dozen.
They were to be well stitched in every
way, and all she could make was two dozen

further stated that she had not eaten any

THE RAIL ROAD.

placed under contract. The survey and
location are completed, and the report of
the Engineer is highly favorable. We
learn from an authentic source, that nego-
Citations are now on foot for its extension
down to the Central Railway, and up as far
as Sunbury.
This is the first promising movement in
favor of a railroad along the East side of
the river, a route which ought to have
been adopted long ago. The success of the
enterprise at Zerbe's Gap has given rise to
this movement, and we hope will stimu-
late further enterprise in this section of the
County. We have always believed that
the success of that enterprise would stimu.
late, and eventually serve to effect the inn
provemcnts in which Sunbury is more i'm
mediately interested. The expenditure O
capital in one section OF the County canno
fail TO be of immense benefit TO every
part of it.

ICE AND ICE HOUSES.

The three cold days and nights of last
week produced on the river about five
inches of most excellent ice, from which
nearly all the ice houses in this place were
filled during the past week. Ice four or
five inches of even thickness, is better than
that of greater thickness to pack away by
hand, and can be more readily cut into
squares of convenient size, for handling.
One of the great secrets in keeping ice, is
proper draining and good covering of
some non-conducting substance. Saw dust,
Turner's chips and shavings are the best ar
ticles we know of. All three mixed, will
DO very well. After the ice has melted
from the sides, from four to six inches fill
up the space with saw dust or with sha-
wings, packed, and then cover the top with
the same to the depth of about six inches.
A loose straw covering is of little or no
use, except TO protect the ice from the rays
of the sun. 1t requires something that will
follow the crevices and adhere to the ice.
Bran is an excellent article to preserve
small quantities of ice in the house or cellar.
In our ice house, which is about four
feet under ground, we have small divis-
ion of about four feet wide, for milk house
or cellar apartment. The partition is
simply lining of plank or boards with a
narrow door in the corner, communicating
with the ice. Into this we empty the saw
dust, &c., before filing the ice house, to be
used agin in April or May, or when the ice
has melted from the sides. We have uset
the same material this way for the last fou
years.
Some years since we kept ice until Sep
tember in cellar by digging a hole 4 by
feet, and about 8 feet deep, and boarded "
to the ceiling. The cellar, however
should be dry one as the ice would soor
waste if the water should get into it ever
for short time.
