New York Tribune states that the total
amount Of the bill for the publication of
the delinquent tax list of the District of
Columbia in the National Republican will
be about $4,000. of which more than
$4,000 Will be clear profit. 1t occupies
42O columns, and is by law to appear
four times, at the rate of % cents n line
for each insertion. As originally pass.
ed the law requiring the publication Of
the list required eight insertions, which
would have made the bill nearly 5000.

have been profit. At the last session Of
Congress the original act was so amend
cd as to provide for four publications.
instead of eight and TO postpone the adj
yertisement from March to June, thus
reducing the number OF publications and
cutting down the expense One-hOlG The
expense has been still further reduced
by the settlement OF q great number of

drowsiness by the clicking of the type as
it fell into its place in the stick" and
leaning hiz head upon his case he soon

man of the office, seeing hun thus "a

him by the nap Of the neck and jerked
him back into wakefulness.
"Ah! me" sadly and yawningly sigh

dreams, sweet, sweet dreams" -a.
What about!"
"Ycs. sweet, sweet dreams; | was in

The Office of the express company, o.
Bolivar, was robbed some time. since and
the officers have Just discovered what they
think is clue to the robbery. We take
the following extract from private letter
from Bolivar, dated the 30th ult.; "Mr,
Harris. the gentleman who was to have
been married Wednesday, was arrested
Monday night for robbing the express
company, and was detained. and is now
on trial. It was like thunderclap in
the community, as every one had unboun'
ded confidence in him. ! fear it is bad

placed confidence. II is to be hoped
that Mr.. Harris will prove himself inno'

There were eighteen oftwenty Of us,

but which we propose to touch upon very

you are not always ready to say: Here's
