WEYMOUTH MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

A struggle for the vacant seat' at our municipal
mahogany 11004011 of lAtti to have become one id thew.
oepted institutions of the borough, mut, oonsequently,
there was no exception to the eatablished cuatuio on
Alontlay week, the day appointott fur bidding the
collective corporate tournaments of the kingdom.
This year, however, the contest in Weymouth has
been conducted with far less esoiteineut than on
previous 000/4401111, which is probably due to a leas
extensive infusion of the "beery almost," and a
very sparing um of " squibbing"—the two great
incentive, to local 'drift) and dimwit at them periods.
