Postmaster Marshall hands us the fol
lowing exhibit of the business at the Lam
caster postoiice for the months Of October
1889 aud 1888. October 1882 was, until
o ctober 1888, the month credited with the
largest business ever done at this office.
1t will be noted that this year there has
been an increase in every item except the
three cent stamp, supplemented by the two
cent ones and that the cash aggregate is
S447 greater than the receipts OF October,
1882. The increased sale of postal cards
will be particularly observed, az
the two cent postage was expected
to greatly reduce tho sale of these. Mr..
Marshall says that in September lie sold
20, 600 two cent stamped envelopes to
business men Tor use after October first,
SO that the large sales Of two cent stamps
cannot be wholly credited to temporary
demand for the past month. The follow
ing figures will show these facts in detail

The Wilkesbarre Record has funny
idea as to the effect Of the Investment OF
the treasury balance in United States
bonds, II thinks it will lock up the
currency in the United States treasury.
Itwill never even get there. The United
States government is not issuing bonds.
II is redeeming them instead. The state
will have to buy iJs United States bonds
in the marke', and its currency will stay
there.

Retirement OF a Priest The >many
friends of the Rev. John Dougherty, pastor
of St. Pauls Catholic Church, in this city,

hns made IL necessary Tor him to he relieved
of his pastoral duties. Father DoughertJ
is IL native of Philadelphia, and is Of a
distinguished family, his brother Philip
Dougherty is prominent architect, and
his cousin Daniel Dougherty, is one Of the
ablest orators and lawyers in this country.
Father Doughcriy is one Of the Oldest and
best known priests in this State, he having
held some very important positions, among
them Vicar General Of the Archdiocese of
Baltimore under Archbishop Bayley, which
office he resigned, and was by his request
assigned to this city, where he has earnestly
labored for the last ten years. He is ripe
scholar, an eloquent preacher, jealous
advocate Of the doctrines of the Catholic
church and true christian His sermon
on matrimony, preached here few years
ago, is familiar 10 our readers, as ii was pub
lished In many of the daily papers, and was
a vigorous attack on the divorce system in
this country. He is refined gentlemen
and has many rare social qualities which
have won him many friends among those
who differ with him in religious belief
His retirement will not only be regretted by
Catholics but by the whole community, and
especially by the poor Of our city, TO whom
he has been kind and benevolent friend.
Father Dougherty will be succeeded in the
pastorship Of st. Paul's Church by Father
Tarro, Of Washington City.-Eaicoh City
