A NEW DEAL.
CHANGE OF EXPRESS COMPANIES.

CHANGE OF EMPRESS
 Contracts have been signed between the Housatonic railroad and the United States Express company, whereby the latter will have the exclusive privilege of the express business on the roads operated by the former, beginning March 1, now occupied by the Adams Express company. The road includes the main line from Bridgeport to Pitts field, Mass. the Danbury & Norwalk division and the New Haven & Derby division. ..-....
 The advent of the United States Express company on the Housatonlc line will be welcomed, especially at stations where there is no postal money order system. Said express company issues both domestic and foreign money orders, at nominal fee. Their lines cover more miles of railroad in this country than any other express compa- ny. We also have reason to expect 8 reduction in the rates charged by the Adams Express company.
