Smith, of 32 North Twelfth street, has In his possession a most unique election return, which Is of much Interest just at this 'time, because. It Is exactly a hundred, yoart old. At that time there were but seven election districts in Lebanon Jonestown, Stumpstown, (Frerlor- Icksburg), Myerstown, Schaefferstown, Annvllle, Campbelltown, (Cammedstown, It Is spelled in return sheet) and East Hanover. The election is certified to have taken place at the Court House, and the return sheet made out'pretty much after the fashion of the present day return sheet, but'there wore no duplicates, as far as known, and no printed forms, the election board (consisting of Adam RItscher, John Blckol, Frederick W. Martin, Jacob Klntzle, Frederick Miller, David Bailey, Philip Wolfersberger.

and Henry Winter), merely making out a form In writing and signing It. TliG return- sheet shows that there were probably less than 2,200 voters In Lebanon county at that time, for while James Monroe, the Fifth of the United States was elect- that year, the return sheets show less than 2,000 votes cast. The returns were made with a slip for each office voted for, and the presidential are missing. Mr. Smith's collection shows the returns only for Cpunty Commissioner arid Sheriff.

Daniel Pfenning had 963 votes, and Jacob Hoffman, only 90 votes, for commissioner, and Frederick Em- blch, had 720, Abraham Doebler, 741, and John Ekel, 603, respectively, for Sheriff. Just how election archives of that character could have gotten away from a safe place among the conn-? ty's effects, is not In evidence, but the authenticity of the election sheets can hardly be denied, for the character of the paper as well as the style of the writing, all silent testimony as to the age and authenticity of the documents.
