concerning the young ladies of this

assertions. All that one need do Is to
make their acquaintance and hnd out

the years 1881 and 1882 The County
Treasurer says if he had this amount
he would have little trouble in cashing

it was the pride of a tax collector, to
be able to 90 before the Levy Court,

and take up his bond; but ia the last
decade things have been reversed.

| RESIGNED.-It IS understood tnat
Mr.. John Stockley has sent to Chair
msn Dukes his resignation as Super
intendent of the Sussex county Aims
House, to take effect about Jan, 10th,
1884.
Mr. Stoclley has been in this posi-
ton for about 10 years, and the pub
lie sentiment is that he has been a
faithful servant. An examination of
his farm work shows superior Judge
ment while his tact in the manage
ment of the poor is an essential quality
for the position. He resigns because
he thinks he has Outlived his useful
ness there, the position requiring he
says all the energy of a live, active
young man, and particularly a matrOn
stronger than his wife, who has COM
pletely broken down under her labors
and can not possibly longer remain.
1t is particularly gratifying to Mr..
StOckley after his years of service that
a large majority Of the Trustees gave
expression of their regret when noti-
fed at the last meeting of his inten-
tion to resign.
Very important is it that the right
man be selected. He should be u per-
son of good moral character, good
judgement, firnness and decision
while the fitness of his partner should
be considered with no less care, she
being in many respects the more inn
pOrtant perhaps of the two. Here is
wonderful mission for good when we
think Of the many poor, sick and aged
beds she ma be called upon to smooth
