ELECTIONS.


MARYLAND. In this State the Jackson party has
sustained an overthrow, complete and decisive
as that of the Bourbons in France Last year,
every department of the State Government was in
their hands, and few days before the election for
members of the Assembly, which took place on the
18th inst, bet of one thousand dollars was pub
iicy offered, through the columns of the Baltimore
Republican, that it would continue this year.
The election has taken place, and the following
is the result Hartford, Anne, Arundel, Prince
Georges, Montgomery, Frederick, Charles, ST.
Mary's, Calvert, Kent, Talbot, Dorchester, Caro-
line, and Somerset Counties have elected each 4
Republican delegates; Baltimore and Cecil Coun-
ties each for Jackson; Allegheny and Worcester
each 8 Republican and Jackson Washington
and Queen Anne's each Republican and Jack
son; Annapolis city Republican Baltimore city
Jackson-Totd Ga Republican, and l6 jackson
Republican majority 48. The Senate was elected
in 1926, for six years, and has Jackson majority
leaving Republican majority in joint ballot of A.
The Governor and Council, and all the principal
officers of the government, are elected by joint
ballot OF the two houses, and, of course, will no
longer be of the Jackson party.
Last year, the Jackson majority in Baltimore
city was above lO00 this year it is reduced to about
800, although more than 5000 votes were polled,
greater number than was ever before given in that
city.
DELAWARE. In this State the election of a
member to Congress has resulted in the choice of
J.J Mlligan, the republican candidate, by major
ity of 500 votes over Henry M. Ridgely, late SEN
atOr in congress, the Jackson candidate. This ma
Jorty is the largest that has been given any
dldate in that state for many years. Even in New
Castle county, heretofore the strong hold of the
Jackson party, Milligan obtained majority, not
withstanding the great personal popularity of the
Jackson candidate.
GRATING NUTMEGs. 1t is a fact well known
to'most house-keepers that in grating nutmeg,
if we begin at the end next the stem, it will gen.
orally be hollow all the way through, and is very
liable to break, whereas, if we begin at the other
end it will continue sound to the last The editor
of the Springfield Republican, seeing this fact no.
ticed in paper, asks an explanation, and say:
it exceeds his comprehension how the mere begin
ming at one end the other Of the nutmeg, SHOULD
make it hollow or sound We think can en-
tighten him on this subject. The centre of nut
meg is composed chiefly of mass of fibres unitet
and held together at the stem end. If grated frs
at that end, they cut of at the point of unio
and thus liberated that they come out and max
the nutmeg hollow but if grated at the other end
they continue to be held firmly in their place an
the nutmeg consequently remains sound.
ANOTHER PAPER GONE. The American Adrc
cate. a paper which has been published at Williams
town for three and half years past, and conducte
with much more than ordinary ability, by itldle
Banister, formerly of BrookGeld in this count
has been discontinued for want of patronage su
cient 10 pay the expenses of publication. II
paper So conducted in SO large town as William
tewn. possessing besides. the advantage of be
the seat of flourishng college, cannot be sustai
ed, the prospect must be gloomy indeed for ma
others projected or already in operation, und
much less favorable circumstances.
INTrRNAL IMPROVEMENT. An application
to be made to the next Legislature OF New fc
for an incorporation with a capital of too mitl't
of dollars, for the purpose of constructing
road from Utica to the tide waters of the Huds
probably at Albany. In few years this prof
will. most likely, DO carried into effect WI
that Is done, a continuation of it to Boston co
hardly fail to secure to that city very consd'
BILE portion of the trade Of the western country
