Nearly all the books of record in the Clerk’s office are, more or less, incomplete. The minutes of the Court are incom- plete for the year 1878 ; and the Judg-| ment docket fails, for several years, to show many entries necessary to ex-| plain the disposition of cases—their settlement, etc. The Writ Record appears to have been entirely neglect-, cd for several years.

Several ot the young ladies render ed efficient service in soliciting con- tributions. They make good solicit ors—they have such a TAKING way that very few loose halves or quar ters escape them.
