Vety littlediffieulty is experienced in restoring the checks ar.d drafts to the rightful owners, but the money generally comes in small sums, and is usually sent hi the most careless, liaplnrz rd fashion, and the loss ef iheso small sums, by the ignorance ! or carelessness with which they are ! launched upon a journey, represents ! a deal of suffering and disappoint-i luent. 8 ine hard working man ' may send twenty dollars, the savings of a month's labor, to his wife and little ones, whom he has had to leave , behind him ; but, alas ! lie is one of 4W forty thousand who trust to Provi , donee, without stamp or address, or eUe his writing or orthography aro beyond mortal ken, and so the poor wife never gets the pittance which is her all. It is very amusing to see letters Opened, and guess at their contenis, before they are brought to light. Three out of five from a bundle of j uaaddres3ed letters contained mon ey, one of them a five dollar note. Then there arc such quantities of dress samples in letters. One would m igine that all womankind had discovered a language in the inter-! change of these scraps of dross fa brics.

A School-Boy on Corns. Corns of all kinds—vegetable corn grows in rows, and animal corn ; grows on toes. There are several kinds of corn ; there is the unicorn, , capi ic * " A • ' *■ but animal corn grows on feet at ; the other end of the body. Another | kiud of corn is the acorn ; these j grow on oaks, hut the ake corn on the feet there is no hoax about it. The acorn is m corn with an indefi nite art tele added. Try it and sec. Many a man when lie* has a corn wishes it was an acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes send for a doctor, and if tlic doctor himself is corned he probably won't do as well as if he isn't. The doctor says j eorns are produced by tite boots and sho v *s which is probably the reason why wlies a man is tite they say tie is corned. If a farmer manages well lie can get a good deal of corn on an acie, but I know of a farmer that has oue corn that makes the biggest aciier on his farm. The bigger crop of vegetable corn a mau raises the better he likes it; but the bigger crop of animal corn lie raises the letter he does not like it. Another kind of corn is the corn dodger. The way it is made is very simple, and is as follows—that is if you want to know : Vou go along the street anu meet a man you know has a corn, ! and a rough character ; then step on tiie toe that has a coru ou it, and see if you don't have occasion to dodge. In that way you will find out what a corn dodger is.— Hart- : fur (I Post. A Satisfactory Answer. An attorney In the country re cently received an account, trora abroad, for recovery, ai d in replv lie made the following statement of the ' financial condition of the locality in which he resides, which was, doubt less, satisfactory to the creditor : "Now I am perfectly astonished at you for sending a claim out here for recovery these times. You might as well cast your net into the "lake of Are and brimstone," expecting to catch a suniish, or into the celebf.it ed Stygian pool to catch speckled trout, as to try to collect money here. Money ! I have a faint recol lection of having seen it when a boy. I belii ve it was given me by my un cle to buy candy with. (The candy Ido not remember.) But it has been so long since I have seen any that I almost forgot whether gold is made of corn or mustard, or silver of white onions or fish scales. Why, air, we live without money. You're behind the times. It is a relic of bitrbnt i*m—of ages past. We live by eating here, sir—we do. H.ot, man the millennium is coming, the year of jubilee has come, and all debts are paid, as much i.e they will be unless you t ike "produce." Toe woid "money" is not in our vooa j bulary ; in the latest Webster (re vised for this meridian) it is marked "os.sVrtr," formerly a coin represent ing value, and used as a medium of j commerce. A few sinal' pieces can , be seen in our historical society's j collection, where they are exhibited j as curiosities, along with the "Mas- j tadon," Noah's old boots, and i Adam's apple." - No assessors to be elected. The old ones hold over. On this subject Attorney Gen. Lear writes : No Assessors will elected at the February election, because there will lie no vacancy to till. The act of March 10, 1875, extends the terms of all sujh officers thereafter elected, to the first Monday in April after they wtfuM otherwise expire. The assessors elected last February, 1876, entered upon their duties on the day after the election in Novem ber, 1876, and would have continued until the day after the election in Novemlier 1877 If the act of March 10, 1875 had not been passed. But that act extends the term to the first Monday in April, 1878. The same act provides, in the same section, that hereafter all tions for officers (should be offices) which will be vacant on the first Monday of April, shall le held on the third Tuesday of February next preceding thereto." See pamphlet laws of 1875, page 6. The office of assessor will not be vacant until the first Monday in April, 1878, and the election to fill it must be on the third Tuesday in February next, >preceding thereto. After that, the elections will be regular, find the assessors will enter upon their duties in about a mniUh aud a half after they are elected, instead of nine months as at present. One teun is extended five mouths,' making it sevehtdep months instead of twelve. Itnt the legislature had the power to do it, and it has been done. —— - ■ . ■ 4 Something Kindly Settled. At Yeungstown. Ohio, a young mau and a young lady have made a t>et. A local pajwr says : The girl being a Tilden man, and her lovei a Hayes mn, sire'made the following proposition, "which was perfectly j legitimate, this being leap year': if ■ Tilden was elected. the young men was to marry the girl. If Hayes j WHS elected, the girl *as to marry the young man. The couple are in a terrihla at ate of suspense. I'very night thev each get a dailv paper sustaining their political belief, ami compare notes. They can of d ride ! who is to marry which. It apoears to he a very complicated case on the "fate tif the returns. Of course she will marry him. On Her Kur. I Reese River Ttevtilh tells of an Austin man who was reading a sto* ry to bis wife, tht other night, and ( cwuie u> a piece of "flue writing," in which the ear of the heroine was ; compared to I 'some creamv white, , piuK tinud shell of thepcenn." "Ry the way,*' said the hushaud, cutting short his reading, "that description of the ear reminds ne of yeur ear you have an ear like a shell." It was the first compliment she had re ceived since the early days of their mat riage. and blush of pnd■ suffused her face, as she asked—"what kind of a ah. 11, d trling Y" ' An aU>loue shell," he replied, She had never before heard nor seen an alwdone, but she did not want to display her ignorance, so she made up her mind to hunt it up iu the "Condensed Conehologv" that ornamented the center table. Next mcrning the first thing she did after her husband had left the house was to hunt tip the description of an aUoloue shell. She found it. It was described as a shell about the size of an ordinary wagon wheel. She nursed her wrath till night, when she met him at the door with the t*wel Keller, and now his oar is as big as an ab<>tohe shelf, j I but it looks like a piece of pouuded j beef. . . The Mous as taialry. Gen. Crook is not disposed to be little the foes whom he Las been fighting since spring, fie thinks that an Indian warrior makes the beak cavalryman in the world, and he 1s uudHnbteirty right; In his fcn ' niml report he says : When the Si mx Indian was armed with a bow and arrow he was more formidable, fighting as lie does most of the tuna 1 on horseback, than when he got the old fashioned uiuczle loading rifle. But when he came into posst-ssiou .of the breech loader and metallic cartridge, allows him to load and fire from his horse Willi i>erfect ease, he liecame at once ten thous and times more fo-midable. With the improved arms 1 have seen our j friendly Indians, riding at full speed, shoot and kill a wolf, also on the run, while it u* a rare thing that our troops can hit an Indian on horse back, CTroflgti the soldier mhv be on his feet at the time. The Sioux is a j cavalry soldier from the time he has j intelligence enough to iidc a horse [ or fire a gun. If he wishes to dis mount. his hardy pony, educated by long usage, will graze around near where he has been lefc, ready when his master wants to mount either to move forward or escape. Even with their hxlg.is and faniili-w ihev can move at tue rale of fifty miles jajr day. They are perfectly familiar with the country, have their spice and hunting parties out all the time at distances of from twenty to fifty miles each way from their villages, know the number and movement of all troops th.tt in iv be operating against them, just ah nit what tiny can"probably do, ami hence can choove their own times and places of couflijt or avoid it altogether. The Sunbury Q izettc of the 12th , i:is\, pays : N ithiiig illustrated to ! folly the useless expense of going to j law as a c;we in our Court last wwk I in which the defendant was prose cuted for injury done to a coal house connected with a school house in ! Lower Augusta. The case was car ried through)several term*, and end ed in the costs being divided be tween the prosecutor and defendant, amounting to about one hundred and four dollars apiece, and we are told that il better coal imuse tha" the one i i c'iitroyersr could have ben built for ten .tlollai s.
