 The election of this county has been an nncom. mony close one, and i. appears from the official re- ,uros given in a, the County Clerks office, that part of both tickets for members of Assembly is elected, and that two one on each ticket have an equal nun- Der ofvotes It also appears ta. hut three Coroners are elected--there heiWg a tie between two. one on each ticket. Wha, is still singular is that ofihe two candidates far Assembly from this city, neither is eecied, and that the from the town of Brunswick, one on each tcke are boih elected. The struggle between the coHteWdtsg parties for members of As' semby, has therefore come out even handed, and ne'- lher, iB this respect can boast over the other. Both parties sscceeding and 1t would have been

FOR THE ENQUIRER.

Why is it, Mr. Editor, that in this age Of improve meni aud in hs section ofihe country, where the in habiianis are much given o improvement in every thing else, that little attention s paid the of our roads regards location? I would refer more particularly portion of turnpike roads n this county. While turnpike companies iH other states, and in other counties in this siate endea vor 10 avoid long and precipi'o"s hills, it would seem that the main object here 10 pass over as many hills as possible-for, in instances circuous route over a hill has been selected in preference tO one stragh, and tevel All who travel from Goshen to Eitch6eId must admire the wisdom of those who laid ou, she road from the gate 10 the Head o your North street. Instead ofhavng nearly strghi road. with gentle rise for short distance, have steep hil to ascend a0d desse"d, and circUtOus route. would respectfully suggest 'o the Canaan and Liich field idF"pke company, that an improvement in that part Of the road would add much the comfort of the traveller, and give general satisfaction the niiy. Also, ,ihxs a very sleep hill about mile and half north Of Goshen meeting house might be avoided with very Iiille expense. l would. in the same re- speciluI manner, inquire Of the Litchfeid and New Haven turnpike company i their road could not be materially improvedf VIAFoR: Erposare ef Meeting Houses. -<FOrrherly, meeting houses in the coaHry considered in very little danger Gom 6re, being seldom exposed except from meetings held in the evening. Within she last ihiriy years te method of warming them by stoves and fur naces has been generally adopted, which, though duciss to comfort. adds their danger from fire. l." this county we have been fortunate as to have ad but few bosses of public worship consumed, though instances of the kind have occurred la many parts of the counuy freqDen'y notice accounts Of 'her desirIeiion. either by Ppes ashes or ia some other way. These remarks are Occasio"ed by the keqnsnt applications insure meeting houses upon the HutAal plan. As the expense of insarng in this way is iTiing compared with tha. aG other Ofees i' may Bs improper sngges the various societies tn this cosHy. whether would he prudent tor all so avail themselves of ths mode Of insurance without delay ?-Comm.
