that the two county commissioners hail
each receive $3.50 per annum as IL salary,

4 RELIC OF OTHER DAYS.

DIR. J. Pueh, of Mercer. seems to be
quite an ad.pr in fading curiOsi,i1s.
He was in The Ledger cili:e Friday ana
exhibited 1t locket, or parts of Il lOcket.
that he had plowed up on his place near
AraIat. IL was little larger than a
lady'S watch and contained the picture
of II purtly looking man, clean shaven
and dressed in the fashion OF nte-hel-
lum days. The locket had once bcen
gold plated upon somo white metal, hat
1t had been under ground so long that
the plating had all worn eff except in
spots; the hinges had been eaten in TWO,
and the covers had come apart. but the
picture Itself was in state of pel fcc;
preservation.
1t would hc interesting TO know the
history Of this locket and who the pic
tura represents; ana Mr.. Pugn would bt
glad to hear from any one who may
know something about it.n-Gatfney

As the lockct was found near ArNrat,
il may possibly have leloHg,d to one Of
The SonS of Noah, or rs the portrait rep
rescnts portly gentleman, it may be
tha; Of the Old gentleman himself. His
wife may have dropped it in her hurry
to got out of the mk, and land once more
upon terra irma, o: course it might have
belonged TO som0 one else; But If it
should be traced back To Noah, it would
prove To be Il great liHd, AMI would l'e
more valuable 10 the finder than his W hole

Maryland. Virginia contributed in all S12O,- 900 and Maryland $72,000 General Washing ton, however, brought his influence to bear upon Congress and finally induced that body to make appropriations to finish it.
 Counting these sums the venerable build ing has cost, from the beginning down to the present, the surprising sum of $3.000.OO0 Of this large aggregate $lOOO,0OO has been for the building since 1797; $762, ,000O in re- pairing it since 17s7; s373,o0o in improving the grounds surrounding 1t since 1918. and $75,0O0 in constructing and maintaining, since 1874, the greenhouses and conserva- tories attached to it.
 The cornerstone was laid with impos- ing Masonic ceremonies on October 13, 1792, in the presence of General Washington and the District Commissioners. By 1799 the building was far enough advanced for par tial occupancy, and in November, 1900. President John Adams brought his family to 1t from their rented house In Philadel- phia making things as comfortable as could be in the unfinished rooms. The fact that Mrs. Custis' residence in Virginia was called the White House is said to account for the term now applied to the executive mansion, and the nickname White House" was not given to it until after it's sandstone walls, smoked and blackened by the Brit ish soldiers when they burned it, were painted gleaming white in 1877. The Pres idents home in Washington has been of ficially styled ''the Presidents House." "the Presidential Mansion" and 'the Ex- ecutive Mansion" but never the White House."
 A study of the old laws under which the expenditure upon the White House were made from year to year throws bright side-light on the official life and habits of it's successive occupants.
 In 1877, $2O,OOO and the proceeds of old furniture were appropriated and spent at once on the reconstruction of the mansion. In the next year James Monroe moved into it from 'the Octagon House'-which is still standing at the corner of New York avenue and Eighteenth street, north west, and which he had occupied on suc- eeeding Madison. He proceeded to apply The term "President's House. was em- ployed then for the first time to the laws
