oHALEi l ACKAGES DV EXPRESS. It any

for currying small packages to the same
fcates charged by the postal department,
(which is oue cent per ounce, or sixteen
ents per pound. At these rates the
American Express Company now carries
parcels to all points on its lines. In most
nstances the Express Company will have
he advantage, since it delivers it packges

ing him severely on the arm after which,
vhe son acting only in self defence, leveled
he dangerous instrument directly at his
hroat. It struck the collar bone tearing
uway the Hesn and inflicting another
kvouud. and had there been nothing to ob
struct or had the iron gone but a little
tarlher "another Ulster County horror"

afterwards had him arrested on a warrant
served by Constable Quick. The case is

was accompanied by his family, and he
traveled from his home at Kane to this
place in the most delightful manner at
this time of the year villi his own horses
and carriage. The iuimediato occasion of
his visit was to enable his son and daugh
ter to unite with the Presbyterian Church

much caie cannot be exercised in the pick
ing of potato bugs, to prevent them from
coming in contact with any part of Ihe
body where the skin is broken or scratched
and the hands should not be used about the
body in aay way until after a thorough
washing. John Harwick, a citizen of this
place, has had some ezperienoe in ibis line,
a relation of which may prove of benefit to
others. While at work in his potato-patch
a week or two since, with his shirt-sleeves
up slaying the bugs by the hundreds, a
small abrasion of the skin on one of his
arm 8 took a notion to itch, and he care
lessly scratched it with his nails, thereby
introducing the poison into his blood and
he has been suffering since in a terrible
manner. His arms rust, and finally his
whole body became covered with poisonous
eruptions, the irritation from which has
deprived him of sleep for a number of
nights. We are happy to state that he is
improving.

Co-operation In Suilding.
Hon. Josiah Quincy, in a letter
printed in the Boston Advertiser, says.
A number of Germans who were accus
tomed in their own country to a system
of co-operation, purehased a tract of
Und ia Dedham, Ten of them erected
houses for their own use. A separate
mortgage for about 82,000 was taken
on eaoh house to secure a joint and
several bond signed by the ten owners,
by whioh they agreed to pay $6 a week
into a savings bank to the credit of the
mortgagee and trustee. One-half of
each deposit is onough to pay the inter,
est semi-annually at seven per cent.,
aad the other half goes on interest, with
a certainty that in a low years it will
pay the principal and leave the houses
unincumbered. On the first days ol
January and July the mortgagers have
sent their deposit book,s to the trustee
and mortgagee, who has drawn the
semi-annual interest and returned tba
books with their accumulations to tbe
owners, every payment increasing his
seourity, and tho association taking
only tho risk that every holder of real
estate takes who leases bis property
Ten or more industrious and temperate
men. who bad confidence in one
another, might form such an associaton
with peculiar advantages. They might
chose their locality either together or
separately, giving excellent security
that they would pay their interest
semi-annually and tho principal in
fixed time.
Milford Pa July 16 Tho final sur
vey for the Lehigh and Eastern Rail
road is new being made and the work
of grading will shortly bo commenced
The new road will run from Hazelton,
Pennsylvania, to about one mile east of
Port Jervis, New York, where it will
connect with the Erie. The distance
of the new route is ninety-eight and one
half miles, and runs from Hazelton over
tti a Pocono Mountains crossing the
Delaware, Licawanoa and Western
Railroad west of Sroudsburg, thence
passing up the Delaware Valley to Port
ervis. Ihe route is a comparatively
easy one to build, and a. 1 . nuse
president of the road, states that So,
000,000 is sufficient to buid, equip and
put the road in running order. As
soon as the survey is finished the work
f grading will be begun.
