SUNBURY, October 90, 1872.


Mr.. EDIToR-Dcar Sir: The numerous i'm
provements made in our borough by the present
council, Notwithstanding they met with conside-
rable opposition ut first, are seemingly approved
by everybody now. The only thing we have to re-
grct is that few merceLary individuals, no
doubt for selfish ends, have been engaged in cir
culating various stories affecting our credit iuan-
cially, but we have been able to run along and
get sufficient labOrers (who, in these days of
schools, could not be duped) to do tine work,
did not think it necessary TO refer to it, but as il
appears they still continue to say the orders
could not be paid, propose to make the follow
ing statement, which Information ! received from
the report Of the Finance Committee through its
chairman, Major Dewart, and the clerk of the
council, =. W. GRAY, to wit: The fund on which
we draw for this year, so far as it came to our
knowledge, is for road and borough on duplicate
in hands OF collector for the year 1871, S5, $50
Amount of duplicate for the year 1872,
in hands of collec,or....... .............. 9,993
Whole amount unt...........,,.........,..... &l5,S73
To which must bc added the amount
in hands of collector for the year
1870, which has not yet been asccr-
tanned. Amount of Orders granted
during our whole term TO date is..... SIS, ,329 26
S75i3 "a
leaving balance in hands unexpcnded Of 81, ,543
a. In these orders we include all that is due for
labor and material to October |, 1872, also two
bounty bonds amounting to nearly $500, except
ing few small bills not yet handed in. The au-
diting committee still at work, and will short
ly report full statement. We therefore give no.
tcc to the laboring man not to sell his Orders to
these men unless he gets full value for them.
We iutend to have the whole amount of the
duplicates collected forthwith, and most respect
fully request that all those who have not yet paid
their taxes to prepare promptly to do so, for the
collector will call on you any day, as weare COM
PEELED to call on him very shortly for the whole
amount of his duplicate.
Very Respectfully,
SOL. MALICK.

IMPORTANT Carp Under frank of ii.
w. Corbctt, Senator from Oregon, we have
received the following card from Washing
ten>
"Rcpublican association OF the Pacific States
and Territories, 1913 Pennsylvania Avenue,
Washington, d. c. Officers $, Garfield, Pres.
&. J. Hiyer, 1st Vice Pres; J. $. Tichenor I'd
Vice Pres: g. W. Lee, Secy }. Il. DeJester,
Cor. Secy; l.. S. Thompson, Treas. Rooms
open from A. NJ. to IL p NJ. Files of papers
from all parts Of the coast received daily; Wis
itors from the Pacific coast are invited to call
and register.
On the back of the card is note to us
saying: "While our association is Republ-
can, the rooms are open to all friends from
the Pacific States and Territories and the
social qualities participated in by all, without
regard to political opinion-naking it a sort
of headquarters for all Pacific coast people.
We are getting files Of coast papers regularly,
which are donated to our rooms, and are
very, very acceptable. We should all be
delighted to see regular files of the HERALD,
and you in person. Truly your friend,
j. S. r."
We are left to guess the objects of the
association. The three leading officers arc
old acquaintances Of ours, and two of then
former residents Of Auburn. We suppose
this association is intended to furnish Gran
with all necessary information on Legislation
for the Pacific coast, and who are the prope
persons to appoint to official position on th
coast. If we are not right let others make
guess.

on Patton $ ranch, north of the American, were
not sheared last Fall, and hence their fleece is
very long. During the Fall it got dirty, and
probably grass and other seeds fell into it. AT
all events, since ram commenced to fall, grass,
with blades say two inches long, is growing lux

about carrying their pastures upon their backs
