MONEY ORDER OFF1cE.-The Post Office
In this place was designated as money order
Office by the Department some time ago, and
Mr.. Innes. our efficient Post Master. informs
the public. through the columns of the
CHRONICLE, that on and after the Goth inst.
he will be prepared to accommodate those
who wish to avail themselves of the facilities
which this system affords for the transmits
sion of small sums through the mails. Or
ders for larger sum than $50 will not be
issued, and orders for greater amount than
$50 cannot be issued to the same person in
one day. The chief advantages which this
system has over the ordinary method of ex-
change, are safety, cheapness and dispatch.
The mode by which safety is secured consists
in leaving out of the order the name of the
payee or party for whom the money is in
tended. In this respect a money order diff
fers from an ordinary bank draft. A notii-
cation, containing full particulars of the
order, is transmitted by the issuing post
master to the postmaster at the Office OF, pay
ment. The latter Is thus furnished, before
the order itself can be presented, with the
necessary information to detect fraud, should
any be attempted. In case the order is lost.
duplicate will be issued by the money or
der office of the Post. Office Department on
the application of either the remitter or the
paree, and the duplicate will be made paya-
ble to either party. The fee charged for
issuing an order for $50. is only twenty Eve
cents. It is the. duty of the postmaster issu-
ing the order to forward it to its destination
as soon as practicable. Thissystem has been
in successful. operation for considerable
period of time. and our citizens who wish to
transmit money either to the Eastern States
or any portion of this State, will find it m uch
to their interest to send money orders instead
of purchasing checks. The postmaster will
cheerfully furnish all necessary information.

occasion by Messrs. Peek & Co., Mr.. Marpe,

the little folks partook of an excellent lunch
prepared for them by their parents and

AN election for officers of the Mokelumne
Hill Fire Department, was held at the house
of Eagle Hook & Ladder Company No. l.
on Monday. May 9th. The canvass was a
spirited one, there being number of candi-
dates for first and second Assistant Engineers.
There being but one aspirant for Chief he
was elected without a struggle. The can
vas,,ne of the votes showed the following re-
suit: Chief Engineer. n. B. Disbrow; First
Assistant, George Leger; Second Assistant,
William F. Marpe. During the same even
ing an election for officers of Mokelumne
Engine Company No. 1, was held at their
house. Candidates for the different positions
were as thick as ''toads after q shower"
The "boys" entered intn the contest with
spirit and descnnted eloquently upon the su-
perior merits Of their respective candidates,
Lager, the beverage which "cheers but never
intoxicates." flowed freely during the excit-
ing period, and with many fears, high hopes
and beating hearts the aspirants for "tram-
pictorial" honors awaited the termination Of
the "6ery" contest. which resulted as follows:
Foreman, S. C. Peek; First Assistant. James
Smart; Second Assistant. Henry We'll; Sec
retary, w. X. Boucher Treasurer, L. We'll;
Auditor, T. S. Louttit. The sorrows Of the
Debated candidates were kindly alleviated
BY their successful competitors, that is, SO far
as generous supply of the "ardent" could
mitigate them, and nothing that could tend
to assuage the grief and heal the wounded
feelings of those whose fondest hopes had
been cruelty blasted and whose soaring am
bition had been nipped in its incipiency, was
left undone by their sympathizing friends.

pronounced consumptive. This set me to
