NEW YORK.
A Postal Treaty..

New York, December 90. The postal treaty
with the Dominion of Canada which was com
pleted yesterday, and approved by the cabinet,
was signed last evening Under the treaty letters
and printed matter for any part of the Dominion
will be sent under our stamps and rates, and while
letters will begin to be thus carried only from the
first of February, the carriage of papers will begin
from the first day of the new rate of two cents per
pound for printed matter goes into effect in the
United States. 1t is estimated that under the new
arrangement our government will lose not more
than $40, 600 per annum, while the convenience
and business interests of the people will be great
" advanced. 1t is possible that similar arrange
ment will be entered into with Mexico, after
while, and the sea rate on letters to Cuba also will
be lowered. The Postmaster General is also de-
sirousof establishing weekly slow mail to England
under which three cent postage stamp will carry
letter from any part of the United States to any
part of Great Britain and Ireland The double
rate would still be called for on letters sent by fast
steamers, but the single rate would be saving
and convenience to thousands of poor people who
have friends in the old country. Mr.. Jewell
thinks he get the slow mail carried for $40 per
ton, and this would enable him to arrange for
three cent postage.

Home Trade.

Home Trade.
Mr. Editor Il clip the following from your is
sue of the Doth, under the title Of "Home Trade"
81 notice that some people prefer to give their
trade to Boston and Portland, when they can be
as well and cheaply served by our own merchants
and tradesmen. What sort of policy can 1t be
called, land how much is the business OF our city
benefted), when people 60 to Boston for q suit OF
clothes, barrel of sugar, silk Dress or even for
a mess of oysters. Such people, think, are very
munity in which they live 1t is wrong policy"
have a very few words in reply. 1t is no doubt
true that parties who go to Portland or Boston can
be served as well and cheaply by our own mer-
chants but it is also that they not so serv-
ed For example: rot long siuce gentleman Of
this city bought suit of clothes in Bangor, paid
his fare to Bangor and return, and the whole cost
was less than the same quality of goods would
have cost him here. Another article of household
ornament was purchased in Portland for 81 10
which could not be bought here for less than $500
Another article was put at price OF $l5O0 IN tins
city, which could be purchased in Portland for
$500, and the merchant in this city, when he
found his customer hesitated aboat the price, Of
fered the goods for $500. Traders who mark
goods at $500, which they sell at profit for
5000, must expect to drive away trade. pair of
overshoes which could not be bought here tor less
than ~ 25, were purchased in Boston for 81 62.-
These are only illustrations, and among our trad
crs there are no doubt rare exceptions to the gen.
eral rule. The Friend of Home Trade" knows
these statements are true he has been feartully
cheated and blinded by his home trade zeal.

A Most Daring Safe Robbery in
Portland.
About 100000 stolen.

Portland, December 80. About six o'clock this
evening Thomas Pencil, Treasurer of Cumber-
land county, was knocked down in his Office and
the safe robbed of between $4,000 and 900 in
bonds and money A few moments previous he
passed into his office, and in the corridor observed
two men who on seeing him went down stairs.
He sat down to his desk to do some writing, hav
ing unlocked the safe and taken out his books.
Just then a stranger came in and asked him to
cash check. He said he could not, and hearing
rap on the window started up to see who it was.
The man then struck him severe blow on the
head with club knocking him senseless 1t is
supposed that another man outside then came in
and together they opened the safe, pulling out the
drawers and taking all the money they could find.
They then rifled Mr.. Pencils pockets and escap-
ed through the window, and passing through a
court got on to Congress street.
Mr. Pencil was discovered aoout twenty min
utes after the affair occurred, by newspaper car
rier, still insensible. Physicians and the police
were summoned, and Mr.. Pennell was taken into
the Mayors Office where he soon after recovered
consciousness, and described the men, who he is
confident be has seen before
LATER.
The amount of the county's money stolen is
$1,000, done up in $1,000 packages. There was
one bond of $1,000 and five of 500, each belong
ing to Mr. Pencil, and $500 in bonds belonging
to his son, which are known to have been taken.
Mr.. Pencils wallet containing $40 and some
valuable papers was also taken. Mr.. Pennellwa
