THE LEVEE COMPANY.
Annual Election Of Directors.

For some time past there has been consid
cradle interest felt in the approaching cleo
ton of directors for the Levee Company, and
it was at one time limited that Col. II. S.
McComb, OF the jackson Railroad. would
present an opposition ticket headed by him
sell. This rur- however, proved to be
unfounded, and indeed it could never have
had any foundation, in fact as Col. McComL
has never owned sufficient stock to enable
him to exercise any control over the company.
The annual election came off yesterday. when
only ticket was presented aud was of course
unanimously elected, receiving over sixty
thousand votes.
The following are the gentlemen compris-
ing the new board Jno. Henderson, j. H.
Ogleshy, W. j. Behan, P F. Herwis, J. Nc
Ginty, J. +. Casey, Thos. Ii. Hunt, c. H.
Hyems, Patrick Irwin. Jno. A. Morris. d. r.

pany are j. q. Gaines, L. +. Generas, Bradlsh

yesterday. This usual lively appearance had dis

nothing doing outside OF the regular routine

next Saturday, tho 10th inst. This, IN our
opinion, was wise decision as the track 10 IN

impossible, and is now being rapidly put in order
for the day appointed for the sport. The
weather Will no doubt be fine and tho track in

The Slavery of Clerks in England

An investigation into the compensa.
ton paid for clerical labor in England
was recently instituted by the British
government showing such to be consid-
erably lower than in this country. A
clerk on the lowest round of the ladder
in employ of either bank, lawyer, in
surance or railway company was found
to receive about $50 a year, equal to
S445 OF our currency. This, Oh The av-
erage, is all boy of twenty or SO, with
the world all before him where to
choose, has 20 expect if he chooses TO
clerk it in any of the above mentioned
classes of institutions. Unfortunately
however, incre ase of years does II,
bring proportionate incr ease of pay. AL
ter twenty or twenty-five years of faith
full service few clerks receive over $3.50,
or Sl.9S4 in paper.
The London and Northwestern Rail-
wav, indeed, out of its 4 647 employ ees
only gives nineI y.five over f300. These
would be starvation figures certainly
did not the low rents and cheapn ess of
living generally in London as compared
with New York and other large cities in
this country compensate in part. In the
matter of vacations, too. the English
customs is, perhaps, more liberal Than
the American, two weeks for the
younger clerks and month for the
veterans being allotted.

Fremont improvements.

1t is gratifying to find business still
progressing. Building and improve
ments continue on the increase, and the
prospects of Fremont's growth by the
coming fall are still remarkably good.
We learn that Mr.. Isadore Burgoon is
about to erect fine brick residence on
Birchard avenue. Mr.. Evans, our city
surveyor is putting quite an addition to
his house, on the corner of Croghan and
Washington streets. Frank Gallagher,
tobacco merchant, is putting up a neat
barn on his lot at the corner of Birchard
avenue and Wood street. J. Ocheneil
is erecting frame house on John street.
It is credibly reported that Mr.. Plinn
Elderkin is about to erect a two story
business block on Front street, opposite
the Ball House, and adjoining Hafford' s
coach factory. Mr.. Barber, of Bloom.
endale, together with two other residents
in that locality, are making considerable
additions and improvements at their res
idences. Mr.. Jackman is just putting
in cellar for frame house to be erect
ed on John street. Deshler and Rechten-
waldt are making quite an addition be-
hind their block on State street. Geo.
Becker is greatly improving his lot and
making additions, including the erection
of barn, on Napoleon street. Mr.. A.
Bowlus is putting quite an addi tion to a
house of his just across the track from
the Hubbard Harvester works. On
Napoleon Street we notice that Mr.. S.
H. Stoner is just finishing story and a
half house, while Mr.. Daniel Conner, of
the East side is about to erect story
and half residence. In the neighbor-
hood of the Harvester works Mrs. Sarah
Swank is putting up single story house,
and we notice that Mrs. Shoemaker, in
the same locality is erecting barn and
effecting other improvements near her
residence.

THE STATE TREASuRER.

THE STATE TREASURER.
The Republican politicians, ON whom
depends the duty of making proper
nominations for State officers, are in q
quandary regarding their nominees fo1
State Treasurer. Ex-Speaker Strong, Of
Tioga country, would doubtless be nom.
mated, but his friends, holding him in
reserve for the Govenorship three years
hence, will not permit his chances to be
in jeopardy by pigeon-hoing him in the
treasury vaults. The party managers
would gladly turn to Ketchum, of Lu.
zerne, but his election would take him
from Congress before the first session
would be half over, and coming from 6
democratic district, 1000 strong, his
withdrawal would be supplemented by
the election of a democrat. Besides, il
is expected that Ketchum will prove
himself one of the ablest men on the
floor of Congress, and however strong
the desire to honor Mr.. Ketchum with
the Office, it is regarded by Keteh-
um's best friends as unwise at this
time. The feeling generally prevalent,
that the Beaver District has had a great
deal more than its fair share of patron,
age, operates with so much positiveness
as to warrant the belief that a nomina.
tion will scarcely be made from that sec,
ton of the State.
