Quite a number of people have
been out plover shooting the past
week. The birds are not as nu-
merous as in past years but they
are fat and tender and are fine
eating. Some good bags have
been made by the local nimrods.
The hunters have also killed a
good many curlew which are also
quite palatable, although not as
good eating as the plover. John
Cochran, Emmett Short and Rob
Heating comprised party Sun
day that bagged 40 curlew besides
a number of plover.

Report Of the Auditor of Postoffice
Department.

department..
The annual report of the aud
itor Of the postoffice department
shows that the fiscal business
transacted through the postal and
money order branches of the de-
partment during the year was:
Revenues of the postal service,
$149, 582, 624.
The deficit in the postal rev.
enues, therefore, was $3.50, 1872.
On the subject Of compensa-
ton Of fourth class postmasters
the auditor says:
/ am satisfied in view of pos
ton taken by the courts in rela-
ton to fraudulent cancellations,
that some other system of fixing
their compensation should be
adopted. | know of no better
rule than the adoption of the same
principle to fourth class postmas-
tiers as applies to the determine
ton of the salary Of the presiden-
tial postmaster, namely, a fixed
salary based on the amount OF
gross receipts of his office, with
a penalty by fine and imprison-
ment for increasing the receipts
of an Office by the purchase OF
sale Of stamps for commercial
purposes outside of the postoffice
or it's branches. Wholesale traf.
fc in revenue stamps is not per
mitted, and there is no reason
why it should be permitted OF
postage stamps. For every STAMP
sold at postoffices the govern
ment's representative receives it
equivalent in currency, but unde
the present system of compensa
ton, based upon cancellations
many instances can be shown
where no equivalent is received.
Mr.. McCardy recommends tina
the life. of the money order b
reduced from twelve to tire
! months and at the end of tina
period the holder must send tn
, order to the postofice department
l and receive a warrant in pay
; ment. The purpose Of the pre-
! posed change is to facilitate tn
the closing of ex-postmaster'
: accounts.
e The average life of an averag
money order is seven and one
half days, and therefore it
e urged, the change would not RI
= suit in inconvenience.

DIED.
Written in memory of Master Edward
Decoursey, by J. H. Wood.

Borne is he through the pearly gates,
E err the cares of life to him had come;
And there to rejoice with angels who
wait,
Unblemished, beautiful spotless one.
Though friends may meet meath the
ivy shade,
In praise of Him on the great high
throne;
Fostering dear memories of christians
aid,
Ungrateful death spares not our home.
Little is thought of the morrow's bane,
Zen when the shades of eve have gone;
Dreaming not of sorrow or pain,
When, alas God calls our darling one.
Angels in heaven guard well each babe,
Rallying with multitudes round Cod S
white throne;
Drawing nearer and nearer to that
great name,
Draped in purple beneath the tomb.
Ere it is laid beneath the clay,
Christ has prepared for its dear soul,
Der the blue skies weird way,
Unmeasured happiness still untold.
Risen triumphantly to the heavenly
gates,
Searching in silence for the infants
dome;
Ever in happiness there to reign,
Yet lamenting not his earthly home.
