It is characteristic of the energetic management and the disposition to oblige, that the Co-operative Society has always shown that in response to suggestions made a few days ago, its managers will endeavor to obtain reduced rates from some one of the through Western and of the New York city lines for members of the society who choose to take advantage of the offer. It is not yet known whether the desired rebates can be obtained, but every effort will be made to secure them. If on account of the short time left for making arrangements no reductions can be obtained for the Christmas recess, it will still remain a suitable object for the society to try to procure them for the spring recess and the summer vacation. All men who intend to sign are requested to sign today, so that the society may have a basis for calculation in its endeavor to secure the desired rates from the railroads.
