internal Regenue Collections. coli
lections of internal revenue in the Third
district of Virginia for the month of August
lust closed, amount to the sum of S2l3,-
974 81. The amount collected for the corr
responding month last yearwas $3.50, ,12l .06.
The difference in the amounts is satisiactorl-
ly accounted for by the reduction of taxa
ton by recent legislation, and also by the
fact that no distilleries are now in operation
within the district, whereas last year one
single establishment was paying a monthly
tax of about sixteen thousand dollars.
The largest amount ever collected in a
single month in the district was in May,
1870, when the sum footed up 1920, ,693.3s;
The collections in the second petersburg
district for the past month amount to s76,-

currence which should not go among the I'M

Oft that score and get even with his republic
can friends. On Monday, during the progress
of the election, hearse ''might have been
seen" passing quietly down State street to
the house Of the silent dead. Tom was in
frame of mind not naturally suggested by the
appearance of the paraphernalia of death, for
the spirit was in, and not out of the body.
Tom signalled for the driver of the hearse to
stop, and rushing towards it opened the doors
and signalled to couple Of republicans who
were passing on the sidewalk to jump in,
telling them that it was the day of their bur-
ial, and he would see them safely in the grave
yard The scene was extremely ludicrous,
but would have been much more amusing and
suggestive had the mourning and habiliaments
of death been on the other side Of the house.

4 LIVELY TINE AHEAD.

The signs of the times indicate a lively po-
litical campaign in the State the coming fall.
If all accounts be true it is the intention of
the friends of General Butler to place his
name before the Republican Convention as
candidate for Governor. 1t is said that Gen.
Butler is not committed as yet to this propo-
sition, though he does not treat the sugges-
ton with indifference, as it leaves him in a
good position to accept Senatorial honors in
the future, or even higher post should the
country demand his services. 1t has been
urged that General Butler was strong only in
a small district, he is not opposed to .
movement which his friends think will refute
this charge. If necessary he would no doubt
take the stump. fs4t.s
DIR. George b. Loring, in case this pro-
gramme is carried out, will run in the Fifth
Congressional District to I'LL the vacancy
caused by the retirement of General Butler,
or he may prefer a foreign appointment.
General Butler, tits whispered, will have
the support Of the Labor Party and the intlu-
ence of Wendell Phillips, while it is antici-
pated that the soldier element will sustain
him by their votes.
| The opponents of this plan propose to rally
under Messrs. jewell and Rice, though some
of the bitterest anti Butler men suggest tina,
the denomination of Governor Clafin would
settle the question at least this year, as his
chances of carrying the Republican Conven.
ton are thought to be more certain than those
Of any other candidate that has yet beer

tits fact that people are liable to forget, and
they are fully as forgetful upon the subject of
the weather as upon any other subject How
often have we heard the exclamation within a
few days, when speaking of the opening of
navigation on the Kennebec, ''Noihing like it
has occurred for century," Although this
might in some cases have been modified by
the statement that the river was clear at this
time in 1926, yet this has not satisfied one of
our antediluvian friends, who states that in
1910 the steamer John w. Richmond came
into Hallowell, and left for Boston the 2lst
of the same month. The ice had all left on the
10Th and the river was as placid as in July.
