The Cannon Ball Express.

The Long Island railroad company announces that the cannon ball express to Greenport and Shelter Island will be put on next Friday and Saturday. It will be omitted then until the following Friday and Saturday, when the summer time table goes into effect, and will be continued regularly every day thereafter.


Better Postal Facilities.

An improved postal service for Long. Island has been arranged by the New York post office by means of which mails will arrive at points east of Babylon four hours earlier than heretofore. A mail train will leave Long Island City at 5:15 o'clock in the morning, running through to Amagansett, where it will arrive at 9:32 o'clock. The New York morning papers will be carried on this train, and will be ready for distribution throughout Long Island much earlier than heretofore.
