The property on Broadway, Albany, formerly
known as Peck's restaurant. has been sold by John
Tweddle to Joseph Sporborgh for $4,000.
House rents In Poughkeepse are going up enor-
mously and there is much comment upon the fact
among mechanics One house in South Clover
street which was rented last year for $500 win not
be let this year for less than $500. Another house In
the upper part of the city which rented last year for
$3.50 cannot be had this year for less than S400 ADD
to this the fact that the city Is not supplied with
sewerage water, and it will be readily perceived
why those who are compelled to pay high rents

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
From the Toledo tohio, Blade, Feb.

From the Toledo (OhiO) Blade, Feb 81
The people OF Belgium, Switzerland ana Great
Britain are enjoying the privilege Of sending their
thoughts and wishes on the wings OF the lightning
ut cheap rates. and the citizens OF this great and
progressive republic not long consent to be de-
priyed OF blessings the governments Of Europe be-
stow upon their subjects The telegraph companies
have rendered important service to the nation, but
their interests must be held secondary to the interests
and convenience OF the entire people. 1t Is estf-
mated that ten cents per message on the average
would be sufficient deray It's cost to any part OF
our country. The telegraph and the post office are
naturally related to each other, and no good reason
can be given why they should not both serve the
people on the same principle and under one general
Arrangement So for as the public interests are con-
cerned the two branches are inseparable.
Men OF wealth, heavy business operators, specu-
ators, &C., only can the telegraph as frequently
ever pressing the emergency, the poor man can i'll
afford the cost OF sending over the lines, at present
rates, the message which would comfort his family
or secure Benefit for himself The government must
In every practical way provide for the speedy trans
mission OF at rates the people afford to pay.
The people are In no mood to tolerate m0nOp0lies
which hinder the speedy communication OF the peo-
pie one with another or which conhne benefits to the
wealthy which might as well be extended to citizens
OF moderate circumstances. Cheap kilograms will
benefit the rich as well as the pocr for right wrongs
no man.
Congress will do well to give all corporation rings
the goby, and Keep In view the greatest good Of the
greatest number Cheap postage, the money order
system and cheap kilograms are incalculable bless
ings to the common people. Ii the subjects of ars
toCratc and mOnarchial countries enjoy these
conveniences and benefits the citizens Of this free
country cannot afford to do without them.

Po.tal TeIegrnphic DIovcments in ENGLAND.

tFrom the London Mechanics Magazne.l
The present year commences far more favorably
for teegraphy than did the last and indeed, 1t may
with safety be said that there Is hope OF tee-
graphic extension now than there has been for some
years. our last numbers have presented to our
readers retrospect OF telegraphic progress during
the past year. It will be now our object 70 throw
some light upon the works waich Will be completed
during the present year, and upon those that VIII
most probably be undertaken.
by the middle Of the year the transfer OF our net
work OF internal telegraphy VIII have taken place.
The enormous amount OF wires, instruments and
dterfei belonging to the various telegraph compa-
mics Will have passed from their hands to the POST
master General Tor the carrying out from that time
the telegraphc services Of the country by the adj.
ministrtton OF the Post ONCE. Many view the
change with gloomy ideas OF the State control: but
we cannot share those ideas, but, the contrary.
look forward to an improved teegraphic service as
the result Of the change from q series OF opposing
companies to the uniting OF the whole under one
system. general reduction OF tariff, from neces-
sarily decreased amount OF expenditure, may be-
regarded as an early consequence OF the transfer,
bringing about large increase or business for tele
grapny will then be accessible TO many to whom
hitherto IL could only be used rs luxury or In
OF imminent need That the service itself will NOS
decrease In efficiency may safely be stated for with
the change the same efficient stan will be trans.
ferred. Extensions will be made to places hitherto
unsuppled with telegraph wires, and we may con-
graduate teleQraphists generally upon there being o
greater prospect OF work than there has been for
some time.
