was less than usual to be done this spring, conse-

increased the number of arrivals this spring over or

TowSsurp ELEcT1os.-We give tclow the re-
suit of the township election in this place on Mon.
day last, from which it will be seen that usual the
Wings came out second best. Although the oiii'
ces to be filled were not very important, victory
was, so there was pretty general turn out OF the
forces on both sides. Our opponents, notwithstand
ing their defeat still claim majority in the township
but unfortunately for them little more than then
majority happened to be among Tie missing. I'm
fortunate creatures! they have majority Cat least
they say SOY about 1854 days every year and on
the other day, generally in the early part Of August
they contend with us till late at night even for SIN
Gle day. So far, despite their efforts, we have had
majority one day in the year, and for the future may
have two Now that the election is over, we VIII
conceie to them the majority, acknowledge that a
number Of the Wings were absent, and to sooth
them in their disappointment, will suppose that eve
~ Democrat in the township was at the polls.
There was good deal Of swapping going on,
and little "reniggag" on both sides, so couple of
Wings were crowded in. The names of the Demo-
cratic candidates are given in Halcs-the Wings in
Roman.
