FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IL.
THE ELECTIONS.

The Presidential contest is now over
and q few days will put US in possession OF
the result. The election took place IN
Ohio and Pennsylvania, on the 4'h'-'h
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, New
York, New Jersey, Delaware. Virginia,
Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi
Illinois and Missouri, on the 7th,- and in
Vermont and Louisiana on the 9Th. This
list, it will be seen, embraces all the doubt
ful States. Maryland, sachusetts, and
Alabama elect on the 18th, Tennessee and
North Carolina on the 18th, Rhode Island
on the Esd, and South Carolina by the
Legislature.
We have received returns from few
counties in Pennsylvania, some of which
chow a very handsome gain for the Wing
ticket since the October election. But
these accounts come to US through the
atmosphere of the New York election, and
inasmuch as we are disposed TO elect Gen.
Harrison without the aid Of Pennsylvania,
we shall, for the present, set her down

In this State, there has been compare
lively little excitement on the subject
The Vanites in this county tried to raise q
breeze. but evidently failed. The vote is
much smaller than at the September elec'
ton, but our majority will be relatively
about the same, 1t will not vary much
from 800. Returns from a few towns in
Washington County, show very handsome
gain for the Wing ticket. The following
are oil the figures we have been able to

that the company are about erecting kiln

The stone, on a considerable scale. The
immense variety of uses to which this ce-
ment may be applied, such as locks, dams
