MEssRs. EDIToRs:


There is a company which has established
itself in this cily for The purpose Of Carrying
Parcels 10 various parts Of the country. Pub
lie rumor says that its charges are very mode
rate that they are absolutely cheaper
than any other mode Of conveyance.


Now I think am prepared 10 show that
public rumor in this case has made serious
mistake,


recently received a package from IN York
weighing less than two ounces and had 10 pay
fifty cents for the transportation! sttag'a


BY the NALL would not have had 10 pay
more than twenty cents for the same package
letter postage. y,g q is


think, therefore, Messrs. Editors, that the
company in question ought, without delay, to
publish The rates al which it carries parcels, in
order that the public may be able to elect be-
tween il and the mail when they have packa-
ges to be transported less than half a pound in
weight. Very respectfully, ,is h
~ OKE OF THE PUBLIC.
