fer boats at the upper inclines. AT times
they worked for half an hour to get the
little gorges away from in front OF the

Three large mail boxes have been or
dered by Postmaster Murphy, to be put up
at the City National Bank, the Alexander
County Bank and at the New York Store.
These three boxes are daily crammed with
mail. The three smaller ones now in use
at those places will probably be assigned to

that the collector can give them his sttsn-
ton.
County Judge Robinson yesterday en-
tered judgment in all but four Of the cases
in which judgment was asked BY the city
for special tax levied for street filling under
ordinance numbered 1877. The four objec-

"A voting of thousand.dollar clerk to
zach senator, by the federal senate, was
piece of extravaganza that the people
should remember against those whs voted
for it. Democrat or Republican. There 10
no more sense in giving each senator
clerk than there Is to representatives, and
there 10 no need of it in either case. The
work to be done Ia not so hard but one man
can perform it, and anyone who 10 too lazy
or too frsil should pay for his private secre-
tary out Of bis own salary.

time all excepting the log-way. The log
way could not be run during cold weather,

company has been very fortunate, however,
IN not losing any logs during all the time
that ice was running SO heavily down this
side the river. Good management alone
must have credit for this. AT present the
works are supplied with logs from the
company's, yards inside the levee, where
enough are stored to last for several months.

Thomas Paine will be celebrated to night
at the residence Of Mr.. Jacob Martin.

of the world--s hero in mere senses than
one--whose memory deserves to bs cher
ished, and will be cherished, as long a. po-
litical and religious liberty are held to be
sacred things.
