urated by the Adams Express Com

Pennsylvania Railroad, some time since,
the rates on packages were consider a.
bly increased. Ii is now the intention
of the Express Company to SO reduce
these rates as to make them as low
as they were when the baggage depart
ment of the railroad had charge OF
this branch of the business. -Er.
