AN EXPRESS FREIGHT TO BE ESTABLISH

ED BETWEEN THE DELAwA RE Pc
NINsULA ANDN NEW YORK
Arrangements have been made, says
the Dover SENTINEL, between the Phil
adelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore and
Pennsylvania Railroad Companies, to
establish new Express Freight Line
between the Delaware Peninsula and
New York. Cars will be provided with
improved ventilation, especially fitted
for this line, on which the Westing-
house Air Brakes will be used. The
trains will be run at rate of speed to
insure their arrival at Philadelphia on
schedule time, say0 o'clock. p. NJ, and
AT Jersey City at about o'clock, A. NJ,
in season for early delivery at the New
York markets as well rs to connect
with the morning express lines East
and West from that city. The advan-
tage of obtaining the best prices for
their produce will thus be secured to
our farmers and merchants at the great
distributing market of the East, and we
feel assured that the accommodation
afforded by this line, will induce the
shipment of great quantities of fmarket-
able products, such as poultry eggs, fish
and fresh meats as well as merchan-
dize generally, requiring quick trans
portation.
We understand that cars are being
built by the companies, fitted with stalls
and fastenings for the special transpor
tation of live calves, sheep and lambs.
This will prevent the crowding of toe
many animals in the same car, and
insure their comfortable and safe tran
sit.
Arrangements are made for return
ing freight of every description from
New York and Jersey City to all point.

A NEW ICE HOUSE:
A FINE PEAR TREE
A MAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT,
Il GPeaf Inipr0peDs ent.

NEW ICE HOUSE AND A SKATING RINK
TO BE ESTABLISHED ON SOUTH SIDE.
Messrs. j. Conrow & Son, proprietors
of the new "Arctic" Ice Company, have
purchased of the C. r. /. Company and
others about acres of land on the South
Side, near Third street bridge, having a
front of 700 feet on Christiana avenue
and 700 feet ON the river, where they pro-
pose to erect large ice houses, and build
q public wharf.
They will bank in the whole place and
have it flooded in winter for the purpose
Of gathering ice and establishing skat-
ing park.
These wharves will not be less than 200
feet in length and will be extended as
the demands on them may require. The
ice house will be so by $50 feet on the
ground and 80 feet high, and will be ar
ranged in three apartments; that next
the river being intended for the storage
of Eastern ice, and the two other apart
ments for ice that may be cut from the
pond. In the summer the marsh will be
used for moving or pasture.
The improvements will be quite exten-
sive and their total cost will probably
amount to S25,0o0. The firm is one with
plenty of capital, and it pays as it goes,
so there will be an actual disbursement
| Of capital amongst our people. They have
| already three ice wagons on the street,
and will shortly put on fourth.

Are sewing Machines Healthy I?

The London Lancet says: Some few
wears ago one of the London hospital
physicians called attention TO the fact
which had come under his notice re-
pcatedly among the out patients under
bis care, that the use of the sewing ma
chine was injurious to the health of
those who habitually employed it for
many hours together. The patients
suffered from nervous debility and other
symptoms referable to its employment,
and admitted that the constant ex-
ertion which necessarily occurred in
using heavy double actioned machines
had an exciting and exhausting effect
upon them. These statements were
somewhat strongly denied at the time,
but we think the almost universal adop
tioa of hand worked machines in family
life since the date shows that there
was pretty general feeling among
the profession, and probably the
public, too, that the exercise required for
Young ladies in order to work the treadle
machine was not calculated to improve
their health. Facts which have recently
come to our knowledge show that TIE
evil was no imaginary one, and that
many workers at the sewing machine or
machines of similar character do suf-
fer very materially in their health. One
of the heaviest forms of machines is, we
belieye, that employed in "braiding,"
and young women working in this de-
partment have suffered very materially
and have been compelled to discontinue
the employment. But the distress is not
confined to one class OF employees; II
seems to affect pretty generally all those
who use the feet alternately as the mo-
tive power of their machinery. If the
workers themselves or their immediate
supervisors were to speak out, there
would, we believe, be abundant evi-
dence found that machining Is
a most exhaustive employment,
and one which gradually breaks
down the health. When it is considered
how great the employment of sewing
and allied machinery by female opera
tives is, and that many city houses have
dozens of them in their establishments,
it is obvious that the evil we have re-
ferred to is not slight one. We would
be tho last to interfere with the female
labor marI1e:, always overcrowded as it
is with needy seamstresses, but it is not
unreasonable to ask whether in the case
of large establishments employing
dozens or egep hundreds OF machines, it
would not be possible to adopt steam as
the motive power, and 10 Fetain the te-
male hand only as the guide of the ma
chine thus get in motion. If a steam
engine can dive many spinning ma
chimes or looms, one does not fancy there
could be much difficulty in giving the
necessary motion to sewing or braidlng
machines, the work Gf which is not one
whit more intricate.

gathered it were sent away by the drug
gists because few pounds suficed to
supply the demand. AT present colchi-
cum seed is quoted at thirty-fve to
thirty'six kreutzers per pound in the
price currents; and in spite of this high
price a well hnown firm, which about
two years ago lad occasion for a larger
quantity, could not get it because the
drug had in some inexplicable manner
vanished from the trade.
Latterly the consumption or coiehlc1m
seed has increased in so remarkable a
manner as to attract the attention Of the
authorities OF the Grand Duchy Of Hesse
il has even been ascertained that the
gathering of this seed has grown into a
regular business in various parts Of the
Hessian and Bavarian Odenwald. Ac-
cording to an official communication, an
Upper Hessian burgomaster inquired of
the apthoritses what if any tax the peo-
pie would be required to pay, who should
gather the colchicum seed for the brew
ers. The gendarmes brigade of Neu-
stadt gave information to the authorities
that in the neighboring village of Sand
pnSh PSOPiC hHh DCNh At4utotcu W tue
town crier to gather colchicum seed,
and the gendarme who gave the inform
alton had been told upon inquiry that
the seed was to be gathered for the beer
brewers.
Upon the strength of this information
the authorities instituted investigation,
by whic. it was ascertained that the
gathering of colchicum seed, which was
formerly carried on only by the children
of poor parents, had become a lucrative
source of revenue for grown persons
AT the railway station of Dieburg alone
10000 pounds of this seed was shipped,
and single broker, r., is said to have
shipped eighty hundred weight, guam
tity which, as we remarked above, was
formerly amply sufficient to cover all
the demands of the trade.
The use OF colchicum seed in the adul-
teration of beer, therefore, would seem
to be proved beyond the possibility Of a
doubt. If they do these things in the
green tree, what shall be done in the
dryY If such be the case in Germany,
