THE Posi- OFFICE ARRANGEMENTs.-A Sc
rious charge is made against the Postmaster
General A Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press charges that he is proceed
ing systematically and with deliberate purpose
to curtail or discontinue mail services in the
Northern States, under pretence of lessening
the expenses of the department. Meanwhile,
scarce mail route or post office has been
meddled with at the South, it is avowed. 1t is
true that maiLroutes in this quarter have felt
the operation of this new scheme of curtail-
ment, without apparent reason. The failure
of the post Office appropriation bill does not ex-
plain it; for in this there is just as much rea-
son for suspending the entire mail service as
there is for reducing it on some of the mail
routes.
There is many mail route in the south
west, which costs heavily while it pays scarce
ly anything. There is very little business on
such routes. To leave such routes untouched
and interfere with the service only in that part
of the country which pays its own mail ex-
penses and adds handsome surplus, is not
wise management, to say the least of it. This
charge WHICH mas Deen ulauo III Ine L llaQcl-
phia Press has been reported in other journals.
1t becomes more and more apparent every
year that great reforms are needed in the man
agement of the post Office business. There
have been too many costly experiments, too
many expensive schemes for rendering parti.
zan services by means of unnecessary or ex.
travagantly paid business contrived for the
purpose in connection with the mail service
Moreover, immense sums are paid every year
from the receipts of the department to support
the franling privilege. Let the frankingprivi
lege be abolished, and the numberless tons OF
documents, merchandise, and other notions
which itnow sends free through the mails every
quarter, will either pay postage or disappear
from the mails, and thus lessen the expenses Of
the business. How long must we wait for
such reforms :?

THE YALE STUDENTS AND THEIR New
BoAT.-The Yale students will arrive here to-
day with their new race boat. This new boat
wa sordered at late day because the Volan-
tie, the old champion boat of the "Yale Navy
was found to be be badly warped, and there
fore unsuitable for the coming trial of skill and
muscle. The Yale boys deny that they ex-
pect to cheat the crowd" Their time for
practice with the new boat is so short that
they do not expect to make themselves so COM
pletely "masters of the situation" as to war
rant that expectation. This modest tone will
not lessen their efficiency as oarsmen, we pre-
sumo. The New Haven Palladium of Tues
day has the following:
"Quite crowd of students and others were
assembled at the steamboat wharflast night on
the arrival of the Elm City, to see the new
boat built by Mckay of New York for the
Yale Navy, and intended to be used at the
great College Regatta at Worcester Fortu-
nately they were not disappointed the boat
arrived land more than satisfied the sanguine
expectations of the Navy. An accident had
happened to her while on the Elm City, which
| will not injure her for the race, however. On
the trip up, one of the passengers, being in
| toxicated, endeavored to step over the boat,
and in so doing, stumbled into it, and broke
off a small piece from the inside just astern of
the stroke oarsmen's seat. Her builder, Mr..
Mckay, who came up with her, thinks that
the injury can be repaired so that she will be
as safe and swift as if it had not happened.
In one other respect the Yale boys are disap-
pointed, though not through any fault of her
builder. 1t seems that it is the custom at
Yale to have the stroke oarsmen on the star
board side, while the Harvard boats have their
stroke oarsmen on the port side. In ordering
the boat the Yale men neglected to mention
this popularity, and the boat is built like the
Harvard boats, which may prove serious in
convenience, as the crew selected for her are
selected and trained according to the Yale
| fashion, with the stroke oar to the starboard.
But the new boat is perfect beauty. She
is fortysix feet long, thirty inches wide and
eight deep, and when manned will draw only
three inches. She weighs a very little over
$50 pounds, being built of Virginia cedar, and
though she carries a coxswain, it is believed
she is adapted for greater speed than any 9TH
er boat in the country. With time for prac-
tice in her, the Yale crew might win, even
against the new boat and cracked crew of
Harvard, but the day is so near that the
chances are fearfully against them"

PLANS FOR A New CABLE.-The severe and
disastrous failure of the ocean telegraph exper-
iment, last year, has not prevented the organ
ization of new efforts to accomplish what Mr.
Field and his associates came so near achiev-
ing. One of the plans now on foot is to raise
a part of the present cable, in the belief that
the defects may be found near the shore, and
that it may be useful in future operations
The other is to lay an entirely new cable,
with larger conducting surface than the old
one, free from that wire covering which made
it so heavy, and surrounded with some fibrous
materials impervious to water, making it at
once very light and very strong. For this lat
ter project a company has been already form
ed, and its preliminary operations are in very
rapid progress. Whether the plans are des-
tined to succeed Or not, they are worthy of the
encouragement of enlightened and right
thinking men. 1t is not probable that the
prospect of success would give us the ST. vi
tus dance again, or leave us in such very
awkward predicament as the last experiment.

PASSING CoUNTERFEITs.-John Stevenson,
who recently went from Southbridge to New
London, Conn, with 'first class recommend
ations from Southbridge, Worcester and Fitch
burg, where he is well known" was arrested,
Tuesday, 10Th, for attempting to pass counter
felt money. About $50 in counterfeits were
found upon his person, some of which he at
tempted to pass at saloons and other places.
1t was claimed in his defense that Stevenson
only carried the money for the sake of learn.
ing people how to detect counterfeits, and that
if he had offered bad bill it was unconscious
| ly done. The case is on trial at Norwich.

BAILEY's BRooKFIELD EXPRESS. The
great express system that has grown up in this
country upon the heels of the rail roads could
not be done justice to in newspaper para
graph, or in less than large volume. But
wagon express system has now recently
grown up between business villages and towns
adjoining this city, that has quite surprised
us, especially when the wagons run by the
side of the railroads that have expresses on
every train. This is accounted for by the con-
venience of having the messenger call at the
door to take your order, and return the goods
at the door on his return, and instead of going
in villages where there is no express deliv-
cry, half mile or more to the depot to send
your message, and then going a number of
times perhaps to see if return is made. And
then again the same man who takes your or
der, is the one who does your errand, and on
his return can report all business done to you
in person.
j. L. Bailey of West Brookield started
month or two ago a wagon to run through
all the Brookfelds to this city. And we
noticed the other day that he had come
out with new covered. wagon OF the best
style and convenience, redolent with varnish
and paint, from which the gold and red letters
herald his business and route, which seems to
indicate merited success.

ADRoIT SwINDLING IN RoxBURY-Fery
Curious A fdir.-Miss A. A. Goddard, by pro-
fession a physician and spiritualist, who has
recently lectured to the ladies of Boston and
vicinity on physiological subjects, and has
been handsomely noticed by the reporters,
has been recently detected in some extra-pro-
fessional conduct, which is to be the subject of
legal investigation. Her little delinquencies,
as they are related in the Traveller, consist in
making false representations to lady in Rox-
bury, by which she was induced to pur-
chase house, and afterwards give it up,
much to her modification and damage in
winning the confidence of a gentleman in
the same suburban city SO far as to become in
debted to him for several hundred dollars, Civ
ing her note with false endorsement; in
trading at grocery stores at the expense Of the
landlady, whom she had deluded with the idea
of purchasing house; in obtaining goods
under false pretences to the great sorrow of
various confding merchants in borrowing
money of sundry persons without the means
or the expectation of paying, &c. &c.

EXCURsIoN.-Ihe Catholic Library and
Debating Association, of this city, had their
second annual excursion and picnic, yesterday,
at Lake Saunders, on the Norwich and Worces-
ter Railroad. About one hundred and fifty
left the depot at about eight o'clock in the fore
noon, accompanied by Goddard & Aldrich's
Quadrille Band, and arrived at the place of
destination, the beautiful pond, about midway
between this city and Norwich at nine O cIock.
at which time the clouds which had overshad-
owed the sky had cleared away, and the re-
mainder of the day was as pleasant as could
be wished.
Repairing to the beautiful grove on the east
side of the pond, the exercises of the day were
commenced by dancing, boating, fishing, and
other amusements, which lasted till about
noon, when the company retired to the tables,
and partook of the plentiful supply of refresh
ments which had been provided. Mr.. Henry
Murray presided, and, after the dinner exer-
cises were concluded, made few appropriate
Introductory remarks. A humorous poem,
full of points and hits, many of them having a
personal bearing, was then delivered by Mr..
John Mcdonald, which excited general merri-
ment.
After an interval of singing, and music by
the band, interesting remarks were made by
Messrs. Daniel O'Connell M. ]. McCafferty,
and others. Messrs. McConville and d.
O'Nel rendered the two favorite duets Lar
board Watch" and eff had but a thousan
a Year" in a most excellent manner; Master
Edward Murrey delivered part of one of
Patrick Henry's speeches, very acceptably.
After few closing remarks by the Presi-
dent, the company separated and spent the re-
mainder of the day in the pleasures of boating
dancing, fishing, &C., till the steam whistle
summoned them to leave, at quarter before
5o'clock. They reached home little before
seven o'clock, having enjoyed themselves to
great satisfaction, without the occurrence of
any accident to mar their happiness.

Poae. Farmer IL Co.


We have learned that to this firm of For
warders in New York city, Mcssrs. Hoffman,
Benton 4 Co., of this place, are indebted for
the receipt of their Goods via the La Crosse
Railway. On receiving the first instalment
they dispatched an order to the Agent of
the NJ & NJ. r. r. at Milwaukee, to call at
the La Crosse Depot and ship the balance of
their goods by our own road to McGregor.
The services of Poag, Farmer Co., of New
York city, will not be required hereafter in
the transmission of Merchandise to this
point or to any other place in Iowa which
receives its freight here. The NJ. & NJ. Road
is entitled to this business and having the
facilities to receive goods at Milwaukee and
dispatch them west on more reasonable
terms than any other Road of that city,
there is manifest injustice to shipper and
Railroad to send goods kiting a mile and
half by team from the wharf up to the La
Crosse Depot and then boating them down
the river 60 or 20 miles from the western
terminus of that road to McGregor.
Mcrcha ITS of Northern Iowa! Beware of
Poag, Farmer 4 Co., and when you ship
west be sure to stipulate that your goods
shall travel by road identified with your
own interests. ..-, ..~~"
