vne S.w Rates of Telegraph.

The Western Union Telegraph Compa-
nv have Voluntarily made reduction oi
their tariff on messages transrnitteu over
their lines, which will enable business
man and others to make more frequent
use Of the telegraph, and bring u more
within the reach Of the people lhey
have been literally patronlzed by the
-Sul,lie. aud this concession Is highly hon
CRADLE and will be most sensibly appre-
ci.ted hy the business public. The new
rate, went into operation on Friday, Octo-
Der l-t
Tho new system adopted varies from
the old one in that the distance is com
puted BY air line instead Of by distance
OF miles ~ formerly, or from every Office
to every other Office, which made l0,S9O,-
900 entries necessary, The surface of
the map from Cape Breton to Omaha, and
including all Of Texas, has been divided
into squares Of fifty miles. BY giving q
tariff from the center Of Il square instead
Of from each office within it to any office
in auy o.her square, however distant, it
reduces ia" entries Of tariff from 1O,S90,-
600 to $50 eco, without any complezity,
and hy a process moro susceptible Of a
general just appreciation. When the
otho havc been provided with the tariffs
be-weon these 800 squares, all that will
be necessary when a new otiea j. opened
will be to notify all Offices that an Office
has been opened in certain square, and
the tariff is at once known. The Rule has
been modified, however, SO that there will
be in 10 case any advance from the old
rates. The practical operation of the Rule

AGRIcULTCRAL.--The Washington Co.,
\. Y, Agricultural Society closed its
annual Fair on Friday, Oct lst, and from
the report of delegation Of our citizens,
who made an excursion to Salem, we are
inclined to think our Washington County
neighbors have even excelled their usual
y satisfactory efforts.at their annual dis
plays.
But while the party were forced TO
confess our own County Fair as being in
ferlor IN some respects, we were happy to
receive the acknowled gment that the
EARLY Rose" and samples of other varie-
ties of potatoes and oats that were con-
tributed simply far exhibition by our
townsman John Landon, were decidedly
superior to the show of the Washington
County competitors for premiums on the
above named articles
The show of horses, cattle and agri-
cultural Implements, and also the floral
display, were particularly creditable, and
we may take occasion to notice a portion
of the catalogue at a more convenient
season.
