Last year there was no election of Cover

ing to 742 more than Mr.. Baldwin's
plurality over Gov. Cleveland. In the
present returns, though the scattering votes
are imperfeetly stalled, ii is though, that they
ale not sufficiently heavy to defeat an cleo
ton by the people.
The State will be r%epresentedin the next
Congress by FOUR WINGS, instead OF, as
in the last Congress. by four Democrats.
This is a signal rebuke OF The late Repre-

vote for the Texas outrage. This triumph
is also the more honorable to the frmness
and energy Of the Wings Of Connecticut, as

ELECTRIC CLocKs.-The following inter

son, Of Loughton Hall, appears in The Poly
tecnic Review:
II think you will be pleased to hear that
MIR. Brain has succeeded to admiration in
working electric clocksby the currents oftbe
earth. On the 10Th OF August be set up
a small clock in my.drawiRg room, the pen
0ulum OF whichis in the Hall, and both in
strument in a voltaic circuit, as follows: On
The northeast side of my house TWO zinc plates
each foot square, aTe sunk in a hole. sus-
pendid 10 a wire. This is passed through
the house, TO the pendulum FIST, and then
the clock. On the south side of the house
at a distance of about 30 yards,a hole was
dug Tour feet deep and two sack of common
coke buried in il; among the coax another
wire was secured, and passed ina at the draw
ing-room window, and joined the former
wire at the clock, The bah of the pendulum
weigs nine pounds, butit was moved ener-
tgetleally; and has ever since continued to do
so with the self same energy. The time is
to perfeciion, and the cost of the motive
power was only as. cd. There are but three
little wheels in the clock, and neither weights
nor springs; so there is nothing 10 be wound
up. To another friend in Battersea, he has
given three clocks, two small ones and one
a hall clock, all moved by one current, and
regulated by one and the same pendulum
This is allshe has completed in England, hav-
ing just reach Edinburgh, where he is 10 es-
tablish a manufactury Of these clocks, which,
for accuracy; ~cbeapness. and utility, will, /
believe, snrpass every time-piece hitherto
