and interest in this work. The papers of the candidates of both these gentlemen have been filed with the Superintendent of the Census, and as the time for the meeting of 1 Congress approaches, they begin to show considerable activity. Smith claims the appointment at Lancaster ou the ground of that being the largest city in the district, and Mr. Ward claims it for Delaware county on account of that beiuK the most important manufaetur ing centre in the district. The Superintendent of tbe Census, iu disposing of this matter, will select more particularly with reference to the interest of his bureau, and will act solely to that The Era, a Lancaster newspaper, commenting ou tbe subject, has the following to say "The grounds upon which Mr.

Smith claims tbe appointment for Laucaster are not correctly stated. Taking no account of the political importance of bis division of tbe district, he bases it on the fact that Lancaster county pays annually of internal revenue taxes, while Chester and Delaware when combined as the old Seventh District paid only Besides, Chester has now the Collector of the Port and Judge of the United States District Court, besides a little army of employees in the federal offices iu Philadelphia, appointed from Mr. Ward's district. Therefore, in all tbe considerations which properly enter into the determination of this question, Lancaster is clearly entitled to tbe preference in selecting the census supervisor for the district." following is a list of pupils of the High School who have obtained a general average of 90 and upward for tbe month ending Nov. 21 CLASS OF 'so.

Tl-o members of the bicycle club i ihe stieets ought to be rolled for their bene- tit, so that their machines will not faie so badly. Tne plumes for the first class men catne Saturday, but they were not satisfactory and were sent back. Some of the cadets got stuck with lead quarters and lialf-dollaro in Chester Saturday.

The High School football club backed out Saturday, and the cadets had a little game lo themselves. The High School boys should have stuck to their challenge. DAXGEKOCS ULSTKKS---it was tbe original idea cf tbe inventor of tbo ulster that it should be impenetrable aliko for the tempests of the cleop and the of the forest, but when it is transformed into a dangerous, wrap, concealing beneath its folds all manner of ill-concocted and air-ascending plans, it is time to discontinue their manufacture. Two young men were returning horns late ou Saturday uight, one clad in the world-renowned plaid ulster, extending to bis feet, and tbe oilier scantily attired. The wind was blowing a gale, and as Third street bridge was approached the wind by some inconceivable rnamuuTre got beneath the ul- ster, and it required the herculean strength of his companion to prevent him from being carried over the railing and drowned in the turbulent waters of Chester creek.

There ia a moral in this, young man. A THEFT OF time Saturday or Sunday night burglars broke into the cellar of Jesse Kawcliffe's Aubrey Hotel, at Third and Howell streets, South ward, by means of one of the windows, and stole a large quantity of whiskey. That was not tbe worit part of it, for after filling all the bottles they could carry, they left the spigots turned on and allowed the contents of two barrels to flow over the floor, Mr. Rawclifle did not go inlo the cellar from Saturday night i this morning and therefore cannot tell whether tbe depredation wai committed Saturday or Sunday night. The loss ia estimated at about $200.

Their letting two full barrels go to waste after taking all they wanted seems like adding insult to injury. A VALI-AISLK John J. Lambert, of Delaware county, has secured the agency for the of ''Headley's Illustrated Life and Travels of Gen.

General Grant occupies a large place tbe interest, the admiration and the affections of tbe American people.

The events of tbe last two years shows that he also oc cupits a prominent place in the estiraatioi of the whole world. Tbe book will doubtless have a largo sale, as it should be in every household. Air. Lambert is a genial agent, and he wil doubtless be waimly received by our citizens. P.
