Thinking it quite probable hat the
newspapers would SOON magnify the blood
hounds brought from Cuba, into creatures
about the size of an elephant, with teeth
like a sharks, and jaws longer than an

yesterday, and passed the day with the
amahle animals.
. So various are these doos,in color, shape,
size, and age, that al first sight they appear
like an ordinary pack barking about n
planters dwelling, but examination proves
them quite anorher thing. To describe a
dog so as 10 he understood, is difficult.
must therefore convey general idea by
requesting you 10 imagine hort-haired,

"THE GREATEST POLITICAL CURIOs.
ITY OF TIE ACE',

This is the commentary of the Harrisburg Re-
porter, upon the position Of Pennsylvania under
the results Of the recent state and general elections
on the 18th ard Both ult, And well do the figures
and facts bear out the remark.
First and foremost, Gen. Harrison, in all proba-
bilty, if there has been no scratching, takes the
vote of the state for President and yet, he has not
nmWorHy Of The fresmsn Of the state in his Caror.
His plurality over Ir, Van Buren,, as appears from
the published official returns, is 343 But this pu-
ray is neulralizcd by the abolition vote for Birncy,
winch is said to be at least tha, number. Gen II.
therefore, the face Of the official returns, falls
short of ma jor,y Of the entire vote Of Pennsyl-
yana. But counting some votes, which will proba-
bly, he rejected for informally, but which cons,i-
tu'c part Of the will Of the people nevertheless,
and he falls considerably short of majority in the
state. For instance, the IIarrisburgh Reporter
states, that in Lumber township, Clinton county,
no election was held on the 3Oth ut., as prescribed
in the new constitution, but that on the OH consti-
iuional day (ihc 9th insi.) there was an election
held there for President and a majority Of 81 re-
turned for Van Buren,. This places Gen. II. con-
sdcrably in the rear.
Again, The Legislature of Pennsylvania is strong
" federal in both branches, Notwithstanding the
close presidential vote, and the decided democratic
majority thrown at the state election on the 18th
u't. Such is the fact, aud il may be matter of
curiosity to see how h state Of things has been
brought about. For this purpose, it is only ucccs-
1ary to examine The dongS of the late Ritncr cgis-
alure, when the districts were recognized and
