COUNTY HOSPITAL MATTERS.

Much has been recently said rejecting upon
the management of the County Hospital, and
in order to have the street talk corroborated,
or contradicted, representative of this jour
nal visited that institution yesterday after
noon. Mrs. Annie Trimmer, the matron, not
expecting the intrusion of an inquisitive
reporter, yet did not exhibit the slightest
hesitancy to take our representative through
the entire building and show him all that
he desired to see. The County Hospital has
very recently been removed to its present
location, and the matron has not yet had an
opportunity to get everything into proper
shape; but notwithstanding that, the house
is well adapted for hospital purposes. The
could be wished for. There are only four
patients in the building now; amongthe num-
Der is Willie Douglas who was short time
ago severely hurt by having railroad car run
over him. Our reporter conversed with the
little fellow, who, by the way is very bright
indeed, at length, and was informed that he
received the kindest and most considerate
treatment at the hands of the matron and the |
hospital attendants. Everything about the
hospital presents neat and clean appearance.
Mrs. Trimmer seems to do all in her powerto
alleviate the sufferings of the sick who are
placed in her charge, and successfully to-.
From our own observation we judge that an
injustice has been done the management of
5he County Hospital and are only too well
pleased to be able to state that the county
ndigent are in good hands

good, but this place don't need large popu-

CARSON POST OFFICE BUSINESS.

Through the courtesy of Postmaster White
we are enabled to lay before our readers a
few statistical matters relative to his office
We desired to get statement showing the
number of letters distributed and received at
the Carson Post Office, but as the law does
not require record of that character to be
kept, we are unable to satisfy the curiosity of
our readers in that respect. The gross re
ceipts of the Carson Post Office for the fiscal
year ending September 30th, 1877, were
81 ,O26 81; number of registered letters trans
mitted, l $40; amount of postal orders issued
during the same period, $685. 49, The
revenue derived by Government from postal
orders was 1922 10.

Yesterday morning a stranger from up

with him. When they had turned their
glasses up he asked what was to pay,
and the Darkeeper said it was 10 cents
apiece.
"All right. Four times ten are 56, and
here's the cash." responded the man.

but 4O cents, but the stranger insisted
that the bill was 56, paid it, and went off

to be so decided that the barkeeper re-

ing, however, that he stood ready to ac.
cept forty cents ior his bill. The man
went out again, but in less than an hour
he came back, gave the door heavy
kick, and as he entered he called out:
