OUR sun RIVER LETTER.
SUN RIVER, NJ. T., Feb. %, 1888

To the River Press:
This is the first time [ have attempted to
write a letter for publication in any newspa-
paper. There have been so many sharps
of that kind here at the Crossing this winter
and apparently all having met with success,
| thought [ would try my hand at the bust
ness. Not that / ever expect to become no.
torious as q correspondent or even an expert
in the business, but now that the Record hav-
ing SO able a representation here, [ thought [
would try and furnish you with q few scraps
that "Pilgrim" in his eagerness might over
look, thus giving both papers an equal show,
that is, both as correspondent. Yet | haven't
got the cheek to suppose that your correspon-
dent can write SO able an article as "Pilgrim"
can, he being an old hand at the business.
This has been a hard winter on stock in
this valley the loss to stockmen is estimated
all the way from 10 to 90 per cent. There
are two or three parties out skinning, and
when they get through a better estimate Of
loss can be made. 1t is hoped it will not be
so large as many think it is.
We AdsG u d FCAy kuC0oduL AHlC cooAoAy
this winter. The Sun River Literary society,
the singing school, conducted by Rev. Hall,
and the club dances, have each contributed
to make the cold winter bearable.
Our school has been very ably conducted
by Mr.. Waterman; it has just closed with a
grand entertainment at Ellis hall, and every
one who performed acquitted themselves with
credit. Mr.. Waterman has left us to go to
Benton. He has made q host Of friends here,
and we hated to have him leave US, but IN
our loss Benton has made an addition to her
population that she need not be ashamed of.
The stock growers dance on the 22d was
a grand success, the largest gathering OF the
kind ever held in the valley.
Our friend Miner will open q large drug
store In your place in the spring. Mr.. Mine
is one of the best druggists in the Territory;
he has already ordered his stock, which will
come up on the first boats.

MAKING IT SKLF-SUSTAINING,
The estimated receipts OF the Pest OH e
department for the fiscal year 1sSl-2 are
sS9,5IS, 7se.45. Third Assistant Postmaster GEN
eral Hazen says this is based On a less average
Increase than the per centage of increase f9r

for the last quarter OF the present fiscat year
snow much larger per centage OF increase
than the department anticipated. The returns
from the interior offices also show large ga,us.
and one OF the most hopeful signs is the heavy
increase OF revenues In the southern states
The estimate OF $39, 9,57S, 7s9.45 for the coming

expended for the coming fiscal year by the Post
ONCE department. is $40, ,955, ,432 To bring the
department upon business basis therefore
requires that the receipts be brought to these
figures, or the expenditures cut down to the
estimated receipts. It Will only require saving
OF 81 ,316 642 55 TO bring the expenditures to an
equality with the estimated receipts. This

difficult task. The annual savings already by

CLOSE OF THE COUNCIL OF REGESTS-FiNAL
SCENES AND INCIDENTS.
Before taking the steamer to leave Mount
Vernon on Saturday evening, the ladies OF the
council OF regents and vice regents made a
farewell visit to Washington's tomb, as it IA
their custom to do the last thing before de
parting each year. They eacn and all ex.
pressed themselves as delighted with the coz
dition OF the estate, and before the council
broke up resolutions commencing ia the high.

worth, were unanimously passed. Capt Blake
OF the Corcoran, also came in for his share OF
ladies inspected the Ayrshire cattle belonpfnr

and as she has not yet raised funds enough the
time for so doing was EXTENDED.
MIS- Blanding, the vice regent of CalifOrn1l,
athough she does Lot often attend meet

at which she lives from Mount Vernon, fre-
quently seneS large contributions. Sue has
now written to say that when decign for a
nanosome gate at the wharf has been approved
she will see that the money to pay for It's con.
struction is forthcoming.
1t was decided that In future the time OF
meeting OF the council should be fixed so as to
cover decoration day, the ladies thinking it
appropriate that they should be at Mount Yer
non at that time.
It was also decided that the ladies OF the
council will not, as was suge ested, use the
steamer Corcoran II they attend the Yorktown
Centennial.
