SHAW, GEORGE BROWN- 11. W. THOMAS, N. W. WALDBON, MILTON LOOMIS, C. L.FQI IRES There litis been much fault found with the action of the Post office authorities of late in cutting down the allowances for clerk-hire in many of the offices. It litis been found upon investigation that many offices were highly favored, and that by the use of superior influences these offi ces had secured more than their fair pr. - portion of allowances, as based upon the gross receipts of tlie office by law. Thus a case in point is cited of two towns in New York State. One showed gross re ceipts to the amount of $7,200 and was allowed S3OO for clerical hire and nothing for rent. Another town of about the sumo size showed $5,200 gross receipts and was allowed S7OO for rent and S7OO for clerk hire. These great discrepan cies show that the law requiring the al lowances to lie gauged by the gross re ceipts has not been adhered to. As soon as this state of things was ascertained the Department took the matter in hand and proceeded to rectify if. A large number of towns that were in excess of their al lowances were cut down. Post Offices in Pennsylvania were cut down as fol lows: Corry, $431; Lock Ilaven, $95; Pottsville, SI(H ; Towanda, $10; Warren, $275. The Department is also looking caiefully after offices whose gross re ceipts have not justified the allowances which their needs evidently demanded, and they will be cared for. Such an of fice is Ogden, Utah. Chicago also com plains of a lack of sufficient clerical help, and a commisioner will leave next week to inquire into her actual wants. The Second Assistant Postmaster Gen eral reports to the Postmaster General that reductions amounting to 81514,064 were made in the expenses of the Star Route service during July. The reduc tions previously reported amount to tpH* 0(50,778, making' a total saving since March 4 last of $1,381 442. As the De partment shows a delicieney each year of only >'2,000 000 there is a fair prospect of its becoming self-supporting soon. Mr. Orville Grant, brother of ex-Presi dent. Grant, and who for some time past has been an inmate of the State Asylum Cor the Insane at Morris Plains, X. ,J., died Friday. His remains were taken to Elizabeth for interment. Oryi!le Grant was born in 1865, and was the only surviving brother of Gener al Grant. lie was engaged m the hide, leather and saddlery-hardware business in Galena and for some years in company uithC. R. Perkins. After his brother I'ysses, whom he had assisted .in his eaily struggles, was elected President he :• me East and became known a* a con tractor. He did not prosper, however, and falling into bad habits, lias been for several rears considered insane. Ace mling to the last report of the commissioners of agriculture it appears that 7,(100,00(1 persons in the United States are engaged in farming pursuits. The total value of farms and farm imple ments is 5id,471,200,4150, or two-thirds of the productive wealrh of the nation. '1 he value of farm products and livestock for 187S was 5, 000,000,000 against $2,- 800,000.001) of mining and manufacturing products. From this it appears that not only a majority of the adult population of the United States is engaged in agricul ture, but that more than one-half the wealth of the country is invested in that industry. Conflicting reports in regard to the crops continue to come in. The large de ficiency reported two and three weeks ago has been made to appear less and less by succeeding reports, but it is clear that there is going to be a considerable shortage as compared with last year's yield. The latest dispatches to the Chi cago Times arc to the effect that the corn crop promises to be very light in those great corn producing States, Illinois. Missouri and lowa. The reports from the cotton crop are assuring. The first instalment of the new crop was received in Mobile on Wednesday. Cremation as a business does not pay. The trustees of the Le Moyno estate, at Washington, Pa., have decided not to take any more jobs of this kind for the oven there, as on every subject money has been lost. When the elder Le Moyne lived, he regarded iiis eccentric revival of the ancient mode of disposing of the dead as sure to become a general one. lie was an earnest man, enthusiastic in sci ence, but unpractical in many respects.
