The annual statement of the Conyngham and
Centrala Poor District should have appeared
in onr last Issue, but the copy got into the hand'
of the editor OF the Sentinel by mistake, on
Tres lay o last week, and he informed no one
that he had it, until Friday. The copy was
delivered there by mistake of a messenger, but
we are informed by the person who sent it that
the package was addressed to the "CoLUM-

have known that it was not intended for him.
However, as the contract for publication was
made with the COLUMBIAN and Republican, it
will make bu. little difference to the district
how many papers insert it for nothing.
