said that his resignation has been forwarded to

be taken between the 1st of March and the lst of
May, by the Shcriffs of the counties, assisted by
deputies appointed by themselves and q list of
qualified voters is to be made, in accordance with
which the vote is to be taken for members of the

lSrERLOCUTORY SATISFAeTION-A CORES
pondent ofthe Boston Ledger tells the following
good story:
Last winter the American Telegraph Com
pany erected an additional line between Boston
and Springfield, and one of their EMPLOYEES was
instructed to stake off the distance between
the two cities. Stalking off means this, that
the poll sare to be set at equal distance for the
wires to run upon, about or rods apart; but
previous to their being set, man goes over the
route and stakes off the distances in order that
the cars, as they come along the track can roll
them off where they are wanted
Mr.. Palmer, Senior, was employed one fine
morning, pacing and stalking the distance be-
tween CharestOwn and W Worcester when wiry
specimen of a live Yankee, who had been watch
ing him over the fence anxiously, entered into
a conversation with him, as follows:
lnquistive Individual-F;ne morning-ain' t

Palmer-I think so-don't you?
Ing. Ind.-Yes-what are doing here?
P.-Don't you know?

What makes you step off so
P.-Well, to tell you the truth, I'm walk

P.-Two or three days.
your legs ache did you sleep out doors or at
hotels kind o thought your boots looked

(Out of breath)
P.-Not very tired-no-at friends, black
boots when get TO Worcester, and brush my
coat also. Started from New York
Ing. Ind.-Where you going, any how
I.-Going to Halifax.
Inq. lnd.-Going to walk out the way?
P.-Yes; certainly.
lnq. lnd.-Do tell what are you putting all
those stakes down fori
Csc as to find nay way back, you fool, you
