He is deputy collector under Mr.. McFar-
land, county treasurer, for this district,
and though opposed to us politically, we
must say that we have never had more
successful and beliked collector of the
revenue.
All We Judeans, except an occasional
man of antedillyian politics, are perfectly
delighted with the nominees for the Pres
idency by the grandest, most progressive
and patriotic party that the world has ever
known.

that respond only to the most exquisite

Yesterday. the annual public eXamina-

splendid exhibit was made, justifying the
conclusion that the corps Of teachers now
employed has most faithfully and efficiently
discharged its duties. If space allowed,
we woud like to mention, in detail the
many features Of the examination which
are specially worthy of note. This, however,
we are not permitted to do, and can only
add that the State has been specially fortu-
nate in securing such admirable officers as
Prof Roller and his assistants. The Prin-
cipal s work speaks for itself, and testifies
as naught else so we'll can, to his peculiar
fitness for the position.
