is expected that the fight will be

;It is said, apParently on good autl
ority, that the President's message will
make no recomrnendatien about postal
telegrephy. The reasons which pre-
vail against sech advice are said to be
mainly a belief that the firm establish-
ment of civil -service reform would
imperiled by the sudden doublirg or
trebling of the employes of the Pest
office Department, and the doubt
whether private competition is not
sufficieut to keep the telegraph service
of the country where it ought to be.
There are about 1,000000 employes ill
all grades of the postal service. To
extend postal telegraphy to nil pies
of the 'United States and make it coin-
cide with the present postal servise
would require as many more emples•eee
if not an even greater addition to the
Department. The sttain of such dup-
lication' of the service is 'something to
makeeven the most •sanguine beliceer
in postal telegraphy pause.

• Fruit Tree Swindle.
In t vicinity of Tilsonburff /ast
week a young man respectably drees-
ed, called at the office of an insuranco
agent and money broker, well-knowit
for his shrewdness and integrity, and
suffered him three farmers' notes fer
sale, or as collatrel security. The
notes were drawn in favor of the Vie-
toria Nursery Company, or bearer for
sums of $4:200 and $150. One of these
notes he recognised as hosing been
giver./ by a hard-working Gbrman farm-
er named John Amburn; of the town-
ship of Middleton. Beingsatisfied
that the farmers would not be likely to.
buy that many trees, he, after asking a
few questions, in snob a Way as to gaih
the confidence without arousing the
suspicion of the stranger, became satis-
fied that the signature was 'genuine,
but obtained by fraud; and though he
ain'i,! have bought the notes for a third
of the face value he immediately wrote
the farmer that he had beeii ofrored
note for $200, but refused it, and to at
once come to Tilsonburg, if it Was ob-
tained by fraud, About six o'clock a
very excited German appeared on the
secue, accompaied by a couple of triend3
and, acting on the. advice of the byokee
the farmer secured the services of the
Chief of Police, and in it short tiro°
that officer had his bird safely caged in
