WEare indebted to Hon, r, H. Bronts
for a copy of the very valuable report of
Hon. VIM. Window, Secretary of the U.
$. Treasury for the year 1881. 1t is one
of the most nearly complete and compre-

our worthy ex-Delegate: In our article
on the coming man for the Republican
nomination for Delegate, we inadvertent-
ly omitted the name of Judge Jacobs, the

A REAL, old fashioned thunder shower
visited this section to-day. BY tho way
it is remarked that thunder showers are
going out Of fashion in the East. A healthy
cloud when it is feeling well will waltz up
to an ordinary sized town, and after 'siz-
ing it will collapse over it. Newspaper
men and book agents are about the only
ones that escape usually.
TAKE a look at the changed and en-
larged advertisement inserted in our col

der the adroit management and never

Bethel has become on Of the most inn
portant public institutions of that fair
city, and we understand that he is now

IT is reported that Mr.. ID. NJ. Littlefeld
will perhaps be an available candidate
for sheriff in this county at the coming
election. Mr.. Littlefeld has been head
keeper of the Point Wilson light house
since it was built but finds the remuner-
alton totally inadequate for the labor Of
That position. II is to be regretted that
government is so niggardly in the matter
ofsalnries for its light keepers as to cause
such valuable men as Mr.. Littlefield to
voluntarily leave the service. Jefferson
county will be gamer in the mater,
however, If fortunate enough to secure
his services again as sheriff. He filed the
POSITION few years ago to tie entire sat
lStaction Of the people, and will doubtless
prove an acceptable officer again.
