CENSUS MATTER.

Some of the postmaster at small coun-
try Offices do not seem to be aware of
the law providing for the transmission
of mail matter free in regard to census
matter. For the bc,,efit of such persons
we will quote the law. Section 16 of
the act of March 5, 1879, provides "that
the suppcrintend ent, his chief clerks,
supervisors, and cnumcratOrs, are here
by authorized to transmit through the
postofiicc any paper or document relat-
ing to the census by writing thereon,
official business and subscrib-
ing the same with the addition to his
name of his official title"

entire Republican majority, and in ODE
dience to general demand of the Re-
publican press of the Nation that Gar
field was, above all others, the man TO
succeed Judge Thurman, and So elected
him without q dissenting voice, there
has been . widespread, though silent,

BILL ARP ON THE PRESS.-Your paper
Is great comfort to me in every number
| find something to put away in mind and
memory; something that / did not know be-
fore, and which will be Of advantage to me
in time to come. If man can read he can
get good education by taking one good
paper ; he can keep up with the world, and
make himself an entertaining member of
society; he can talk up little on most any
subject. Book learning is a very good
thing, but | know man who has power
Of that, but he never reads the papers, and
he passes for fool in his naborhood.-
Some papers are not much account to ap-
pcarances, but never took one that didn't
pay me in some way good deal more than
L paid it. One time an old friend started
little paper away down in Southwestern
Georgia and sent it to me, and L subscribed
just to encourage him, and so after while
it published a notice that an administrator
had an order to sell several lots of land at
public outcry, and one of the lots was in my
county. So | inquired about the lot, and
wrote down to my friend to attend the sale,
and run it to fifty dollars. He did so, and
bid off the lot for me at thirty dollars, and
| sold it in month to the man it joined for
hundred, and so | made sixty eight del
lars clear by taking that paper. My father
told me that when he was young man he
saw notice in paper that school teach
or was wanted away off in distant county,
aud he went down there and got the situa-
ton, and little girl was sent to him, and
after while she grew up mighty sweet and
pretty, and he fell in love with her and
married her. Now, if he hadn't took that
paper, what do you reckon would have be
come Of me? ? Wouldn't | be some other
feilcr, or maybe not be at all ?-Diric Far

A RICHMOND FAMILY INHERITs THE PURSE
OF FoRTUNATus.-A special telegram In yester.
days Commonwealth stated that Kokomo, Indi-
ana, was excited over fabulous estate in Hol-
land, which is believed to belong in part TO
citizens of that country. The story is that tho
Kern family Of Holland loaned q sum Of money
to the government, payable in ninety nine years,
and it is now due, making over two hundred mil
lions of dollars. The Kern family came to Penn
sylvania in the years between 1922 and 1776,
and heirs are now scattered all over that State
and the West, one branch of which has made the
discovery, now residing in KokOmo.
Mrs DIR. Isaiah II. White, Of this city, was
Miss Kern, lineal descendant Of the family Of
that name which settled in Pennsylvania. 1t is
probable that there are large number Of per.
sons who will bc interested in this big bonanza, {,
but the enormous amount, ifthey succeed in re-
covering it from the Dutch government, divided
among all, will make each member Of the fam
lily immensely wealthy. The claim seems to
rest on O surer foundation than that Of the Jen-
nings heirs.-Richmond Commonwealth, March

A LARGE YIELD OF WmEAT.-A short time
ago Gen. John Gibbon, Of st. paul, Mimi, made
the assertion that 100 bushels of wheat had
been raised on acre of ground in the Terri
tory of Montana. The statement having been
received with incredulity, lie wrote to the Prcsi-
dent of the First National Bank in Helena for
proof. In reply lie received the certificate Of
the President and Secretary of the Territorial
Fair Association that one James L. Ray, Of Lewis
and Clark County, was awarded first premium
for the best acre Of wheat, being lO2 bushels to
the acre. This is believed 10 be the largest
WELD Of wheat on record.

COL. WEBSTER'S ACCEPTANCE

We publish in another column very
admirable letter addressed by Col. Web
ster to the committee appointed to in
form him of his nomination for Congress
by the Republicans of this district. 1t
is a frank and unequivocal declaration Of
Republican principles and of manly indie
pendence Col. Webster does not, by
vague or ambiguous language, leave the
Republicans of this district either to in
fer or to presume that he is in accord
with them upon the important political
issues involved i'll the present Presiden-
tial and Congressional campaign. He
settles all differences as to his political
status-growing out of the fact that for
some years he has not been actively
identified with any political organization
by the positive assertion THAT he is
in full sympathy and utilization with the
national Republican party What Col.
Webster asserts, no man will doubt. He
means to say what every truly patriotic
man should say, when, as at this time
every material interest of this country,
and every productive interest of it's peo-
pie, is being ,ieopardized by the attempt
of the free trade Democracy of the South
aided by their Northern allies, to secure
the absolute control of the machinery of
our Government that he is opposed
4 +1,a,, al VIII, al
Webster is in favor of the protec-
ton of American industries. There is
not 4 mechanic at his bench, nor a black
smith at his forge. There is not a ma
chinist, an iron worker, paper maker,
or 4 cotton spinner or weaver in Cecil
county who should not only vote for Col
for his election. They are the men who
have interests at stake ill the present
canvass. 1t will be, aye, very soon, if
the Hancock free trade party succeed. a
question of bread and butter with them.
We want man i'll Congress from this
district who will truly represent the pro-
ductive and manufacturing interests Of
the district. We want no exponent of
the Bourbon free TRUE idea. 1t means
death to our working men and mechan-
les. 1t means the closing of our mills
and the decay Of our industries. This
is what Hancock election would mean.
Is it any wonder, then, that Col. Web
ster so warmly indorses Gen. Garfield.
