Gg- A son of the Emerald Isle, says the
Woodford Sentinel, whose wife had the day
before bought box of matches of Sam
Miller, prominent grocer in Minonk,
came into his store the other day, and pre-
senting the box to Sam, says:
Mr.. Miller, my wife says these matches
are no account"
"How is that?" asks Sam. "I keep
the best of everything"
"Well," says Pat, "my wife can't light
'em, and she tould me to go back with
Thin"
Sam thereupon takes out match after
match, and striking them upon the leg of
his pants holds the brightly burning fuses
before the astonished Celt, exclaiming;-
There, don't you see, they are good
matches; not one has missed"
"Do you take me for a id fool ?" ask
ed Pat "Do you suppose that I'm going
to sind my wife down here to scratch
matches on your dirty ould pants livery
time she wants to light the fire ?''
This brought down the house and Sam
willingly paid the cigars.

Sricinr WIN. McLanc of Fast Haven
VI, shot himself OH Sunday last and al
though alive Monday morning, his attend
ing physician gave no encouragement that
he could long survive. He was about %
wears old and his father lives at llavcrhill,
\. II. The circumstances Of this suicide
are very singular. He was ut work for
Alexander McLanc of East Haven, and
Sunday morning he started with Geo Me-
Lane, son of Alexander for the post Office
in Newark. After going to the post office
they visited the Spring House, kept by
Ladd, where it is supposed William took
liquor. On their return home these young
men were joined by Noah Hudson, who had
short breech loading rifle in his hands.
William asked to see the gun and it was
handed him with the remark that it was
loaded He replied that he knew it, and
that he had as soon die as not or words to
that effect. Nothing was thought of it at
the time however, and the three walked
along in the road until the report of a rifle
was heard. Upon this Hudson and Geo
McLanc saw the weapon in VIM. MCLane's
hands, with the muzzlc turned towards his
breast With an oath he exclaimed that
he had shot himself The men with him
thought he was fooling them, until they
saw his countenance change, and he fell or
laid down by the roadside. On examination
the found the ball had entered just below
the heart, and passing through his body,
came out through the lower point of the
right shoulder blade. A rumor comes that
he was engaged to be married; that his
girl had fits, and that he deserted her; that
week or two ago she drowned Herself;
and that his shooting himself is the sequel
to the affair. But probably the result will
show that it is another whskcy murder, and
nothing else.-St. JohnsJuyy Caledon,an.

Postmaster Gcnersrs Report.

Postmaster General Cresvell's an
nual report for 1873 is an interesting
paper. 1t states that the ordinary
revenues Of the department for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1878, were
so, ,996,74l57, an increase of
81 ,0Sl, ,3I5.20 over the preceding
year. The expenditures Of all kinds
were 32G,034,9 ,9f5.6T, or >, ,753.-
sc more than wear ending June 80,
1872. From this it will be seen that
the expenditures were S6,0SS, ,204,I0
in excess Of the receipts The num-
Der Of adhesive stamps issued during
the year was 60l, ,93l, $50, represent
ing $lG,GS1, ,IS9; stamped envelopes,
newspaper wrappers, and postal cards,
262;266, 900, representing S3,TlS.58T;
making a total of $20,399,776. The
number of post Offices in operation in
the United States on June 80. 1878,
was SO PA, an increase Of | ,3Sl dur
ing the year. The total number
of employees in the department
throughout the country is 1864.
There were received at the Dead
letter Office 4,t02,35 letters, of
which 26S,429 were foreign, repre-
senting a value of s5,795, 764, II.
OF these letters only l,S2G,1OS, were
delivered to their owners or writers,
but the amount represented by them
was S5,377, ,923.27. No more strik-
