Pdtent.-Messrs Muoney & Marshall Ilar-
ness Makers, at No. i West fifth Street, has
been granteda patent on a carriage saddle loop,
which is far superior TO the old saddle or iill-
proved saddle loop. II is made OF mal!cable iron.
and is so ingeniUusly arranged that it works
perfectly free with the back band TO Which It is
strongly attached, and prevents the wear that
has been SO much annoyance hcre oiorc. 1t also
strengthens the terrett through which the lines
pass, to which it is attached 1t adds much to
the strength Of the whole saddle, and makes it
much neatef, stronger and cheaper. Persons
having horses would do well to call at the above
establishment and examine the patented article
for themselves.

THE LEGIsIAruRE.-The 18th of March
has been named as the last day for receiving
new business. If that time is adhered to the
session will soon come TO an end. Beyond the
advance the public interests. The measures Of
reform proposed by the Republicans havepg been
generally voted down. We do not wish to con
denim unjustly but it really seems that the poem
in, another columns describing Zip Van Win

Rapid as has been our national growth
in population during the last ten years,
orr postal growth has been far more rapid.
While the population has grown from thir-
ty-one millions to thirty eight, or less
than twenty five per cent, our postal ex
! penditures have increased from eleven
| million dollars to twenty-six, an increase
of nearly one hundred aud forty per cent {:
that is the growth of the pos. Office has
been more than Eve times that of the po-
pulation. This is mainly due to the change
coming over US as a nation. Our Atlantic
communities are rapidly exchanging the
pursuit Of agriculture for that Of manufac-
lures. Every year witnesses q growing
amount of business in the manufacturing
towns aud cities, and business carries cor
respondence with it; while those commu-
mites that continue to rely on the produce
of their farms are falling off both in bust
ness and in population. A gentieman who,
during the past year, revisited his boy
hoods home in Vermont, found that ten
of the neighboring farms had passed, at low
hard working owner of the eleventh. The
old houses, still stood, windowless and half
roohess, only to remind the paeser-by of
New England farming generation rapidly
passing away. Rhode Island is composed
of Providence and its suburbs. Six of the
cities of Massachusetts contains one third
of her million and a half of people. The
tendency of the age aud of the nation is
toward Capitalization in cities. But there
are other causes than this for the rapid
growth of the post-office. The past de-
cade has witnessed postal improvements
greater than any made since the days of
our first postmaster-general, Benjamin
Franklin. Ten years ago the mails stop
ped at every large office, were there sorted,
and dispatched the next day. Now much
of the sorting aud handling is done in the
cars, while flying through the country with
a speed of thirty miles an hour. No rest is
destination. Formerly every one had to
cities, where carriers delivered, collecting
an extra charge now government spends
a million and half on the letter carrier
system. Then all sums of money too small
for banking were sent loose in the mails-
the dead letters alone then contained eigh-
ty thousand dollars year in small Gums,
and a million aud a half in checks, that
never reached their destination to-day
nearly sixty million dollars are annually
sent in money orders, and that system has
been extended to all parts Of the civilized |
world. Then five million dollars worth of
postal matter passed free through the mails; |
to-day every letter, every paper, pays it's |
own way. By the abolishment of franking |
at the commencement of the present fiscal |
year, the old postal deficiency of some six |
half. To say nothing of letters sent by |
the departments and by members of Con- |
gress, all of which are now prepaid, the |
payment of letters addressed TO the de- |
partment and to members, on the private |
business OF the Writers, will annually add |
over half million dollars to the postal re-
ceipts. ~. &c.,
