Mr. Long has been resident of the eoun- ty nearly all his life, nearly twenty years of which he was in the merean- tile business at Jamestown. He served several terms as mayor of Jame stown, also several years as justice of the peace, and was the eounty's first road commissioner. He is one of the coun- tvs best citizens, is we'll qualified, and would discharge the duties of the office with ability and to the entire satisfaction of the public.
 There is certain lady in Newark, a member of the NJ. E. Church, South, who has fallen on the unique plan of making her hens pay her dues to the benevolent claims of her church. The plan is this: She saves the Sunday eggs, and certain merchant has promised to pay cash for the eggs. IL is easy to keep up-just gather all the eggs on Saturday evening but the nest egg, then all new eggs found in the nests Sunday evening are simon-pure Sunday eggs. Our informant says ii is little singular that on last Sunday this lady got 13 eggs, while on the day before Saturday, she only got four. Suppose 30 or 40 ladies do this for this year and see how much of the missionary spirit there is in the Sun day working hens.
