List of all who Held that Office Since 1800. The Great Age Attained by Many of our Sheriffs. SE The office of Sheriff in Centre county is always considered one of the most desirable and there are always many applicants for the position. It is desir- able first for the reason that it is a lucrative position, and the county furn- ishes the incumbent with one of the most imposing stone structures, like an ancient bastile perched on a pinacle, free of cost for a three years residence. It is desirable because the duties of the office is not confining, or chiefly office work, like most of the other county of- fices. The office of sheriff, in the future in our county, will be desirable for another reason, recently pointed out. Hon, John Blair Linn, in a recent article published in the Keystone Fazette, gives some valuable statistics showing the great age attained by most of the ex-sheriffs of our county.

Expense In. surred by the Baker Ballot, The late election, held under the pro- visions of the Baker Ballot law, was more expensive than those of former years. The large ballot and the long list of electors made the counting of the same more difficult. As no counting could be done until after the polls were closed, the election boards were com. pelled to work all night in most cases and that incurred un extra days pay if they were not through Lefore mid- night, Then an extra copy of the registration had to be made, Printing of the ballots was another item. Delivering the ont. fit, the publication of the proclamation, and other incidentals amount to a eon. siderable item. The additional expense for Centre county can not be exactly given, us many of the bills have not yet been pre- sented to the county commissioners, Enough isknown to make an estimate which will close to the exact amount. The following is an estimate of some of the various items : For Election OfMcers PR Shipping and Erecting Booths Ballot Boxes... ........ ‘ ? Extra Copy of Register... Painting Booths... Election Law Pamphlets.........conrunn Printing Ballots Publishing Procl....... Election Register come Total NL That will be a close estimate of the cost, although it may run some higher, but should not exceed 83.000, on An esti- mate in Blair county amounts to #10.- 000, about three times as much as here. Our county commissioners were careful to comply with every provision of the law yet at the same time they guarded every item of expense carefully, We got through with the election at a great or than our own people expected.
