Perhaps it may be OF interest to some Of
our readers to know something Of the
business Of handling "Uncie Samuel's"
mails at Emporia. At cost Of consider
able labor we have obtained few figures
from the records Of last years work,
which we give below:
No. letters registered .....-. 293
No. registered letters received and
No. os'i registered letters received and
Total number handled. ,94T
No. money orders issued $500. 2.O19
Amt money orders issued 81, S6I .e6
Amt money orders paid........ o2,OlS.4I

or the amount paid, SS6S.s6 were Brit
ish, and S2,297.02 were German orders.
Revenue from stamps, envelopes,
etc % ,oiO.Zo
Estimated number OF let
tiers mailed. ..I0O,OOO
Estimated No. received 10000
Amt paid the Government, after
deducting all expenses ,o13.69
No estimate car be made OF the amount
OF third-class matter received and sent.
The amount paid, under the new law, on
papers published here and those sent by
news agents, at the swO and three cent
rate, we found was about eighty dollars.
or this THE NEWS paid S42.5O, and the
Ledger $16.9S. The balance was paid by
the Real Estate Register, Patrons Clean
er and Miss Plumb and Fox d Co.
It will thus be en- that the EmpOria
office Is profitable one to the govern
ment, it taking $I,siS.60 from our COM
munity to make up deficiencies elsewhere.
It will also be seen that there IL some
work and responsibility In conducting
the affairs OF this office. There Is great
deal OF work in the distribution OF mails
that Is not In the above showing. People
who are disposed to grumble at errors
which cannot be avoided, will certainly be
disposed to be more charitable, when they
contemplate the Vastneks Of the work in
handling the mails, throughout the coun-
try, an idea OF which can be formed by
the few figures given above, Of the trans
actions at one small office.

The stock market to-day offers small scope for
comment. While the "bears" have seemed to be
so content with their position to resort TO none of
the usual methods for depressing prices the bulls"
have exhibited desire to sell out and at the same
time fear Of trusting the market with the attempt.
The result was Il dull day, and fractional decline

THE ONO RIVER IMPROVEMENT.

THE Quo RIVER IMpRovEMENT.-
The following petition for the improve
ment OF the Ohio river is on file at the
bost store, and is being signed by all
the rivermen in this vicinity:
TO the Honorable, the Senate anil the
House Of Representatives Of the United
States no,0 AsSsmjie2:
The undersigned petitioners, citizens
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia,
Kentucky and Indiana, interested
either as transporters upon the waters Of
the Ohio River or a. consumer Of the
commodities thus transported, respectful
ly present:
That for several years their attention
has been drawn To the subject OF improv
ing the Ohio River navigation, by various
plans that have been suggested tor that
purpose by different persons, engineers
and others; but in an especial manner
to that known Us the Chanonc system
now in use IN France. Concerning this
they have made many inquiries III con-
sequence of its having been recommend
ed by the United States engineer in
charge, by the State Commission on the
Ohio Improvement, and partially APP
proved by an appropriation for the COM
mencement of an experimental dam,
made By Congress At its last session.
From the turbulent nature OF the Ohio,
and the immense volume Of water il
pours forth in its freshests, bearing along
drlftwood and ice with empowering VIC
lence, YOUR petitioners are of the opinion
that such structures could not resist
these crushing forces without beng more
or less impaired.
Your petitioners also look upon every
kind of slack-water improvement rs un-
suited to the exceptiona! character of the
Ohio navigation, which has been demon
stra;ed to be OF the most public benefit
by the cheapest transportation carried
on upon its waters through the medium
OF tow boat fleets.
Believing that clear river, free from
impcdiments of all kinds, will best sub
serve the various interests using its con-
venent navigation, your petitioners re-
specially request, that the comparatively
small appropriations may be made to re
move Instructions and improve the chan
mel, and that none Of the said Charoine
dams be placed in the river.
Among the serious impedimcnts that
cb>truct the navigation, the wire bridge
across the Monongshela stands out most
conspicuous. 1t belongs to Il corporation
who have been benti.cd by II thirty years,
and though it is perpetual obstacle very
injurious TO the river trade, they have tn
ken no steps towards its correction, though
often soliclie 20 do So, and it is feared.
will not, uutil coerced by the authority of
Congress. The proper legislation for
this purpose, Is therefore earnestly re.
quested. And your petitioners will ever
pray .SC

Funeral Of ID. T.. Heryey.
he Columbus Dispatch.

From the Columbus Dispatch.
The funeral of the late David E. Her
vey, auditor of the Erie Railroad, took

Three brothers and sister of deceased

vey, A. Ferris Hervey and Margaret
Hervey, of Brooke county. Deceased

In early life Mr.. Heryey went to
Wheeling, as clerk In the store oil a Mr.
Bsssett, In the course of tlrre he be-
came identified with the merchandising
firm of Hervey Il McNair, in the same
city. From there he removed to Steu-
kenvllle Ohio, and resumed the same bus
mess. Up to this time he was still within
the immediate neighborhood OF his BIRTH
place. At Steubenville he formed ac-
auaintances in railway life that led him
into business relations Of that character.
There he met the Jewetts and \. X. Sher
rard, and others who have since become
managers of large railway Interests IN
the United States The sterling integ'
rity OF deceased, and his ability as an ac-
countant was fully understood by all his
acouaintsnces. He entered the Pan
Handle railway Offices at Steubenville,
I and CAME from thence to Columbus HIS
next step in the line Of business advance
ment was to the cashiership OF the Trans
| fer Company, in New York, and that
position he was called to the authorship
Of the Erie railway by President Hugh
j. Jewett.
The foregoing is a mere outline OF his
busy and highly honorable life. His
memory will be dearly cherished by
many friends, gained at every step OF his
life, IRON his boyhood In Pennsylvania
| to his final nome In the metropolis of the
country. The catket was covered with
flowers, contributed by friends iii New
York. The floral ornaments contained
Gala lilies, cameiias, geroniums, carna-
tons, rosebuds, purple and blue violets,
and variety Of beautiful and sppropri
ate tokens OF this kind wrought in cross
es, anchors, stars, and broken monu-
ment. On the white base of the latter,
made of very pretty aowcrs, was worked
the initials ID. L. H., in blue vlolets. 1t
came from the clerks in the auditor ;
office OF the Erie railway.
