New York ELECTION. We stated yester-
day that the wings had carried this State, and
the latest returns since received have fully con-
firmed our statement, Young is elected Go
vernon, over Wright, by majority probably OF
10000. The Lieutenant Governor is in doubt,
as Fish, wing, runs considerably behind Young.
OF the 81 members Of Congress, the wings have
elected 10, and tho democrats I, leaving to
be heard from. The delegation in the present
Congress stands-democrat 81, wings 8, and
natives 4. The wings will have the House Of
Assembly, probably by 10 or 70 majority, and
the democrats the Senate, as % democrats to
wings hold over. The U. S. Gazette, Of yes
terday, says:
The vote for Young in twenty-five counties,
as compared with the vote of the same coun-
ties in 1914, show gain Of seventeen thousand
five hundred and twenty votes.
Wrght's gain in six counties is but two
thousand six hundred votes, showing a clear
wing gain of eleven thousand nine hundred and
twenty votes.
The following are the returns for Governor,
compared with the vote of 1914, when the
democratic majority was a little over 10000.

EXTENSIVE MAIL RoBBERY. We stated
few days ago that the mail for the East, made
up at st. Louis on the LIST inst, was missing
and had probably been stolen. The st. Louis
Republican says:
The extent of the robbery is not known, but
we understand that l.. A. Benost & Co. mail
cd on that day, to New York, from $1,000 to
81 400 in bank notes, and $4,000 in drafts; j.
J. Anderson & Co. $500 to Pttsburg, and $500
to New York, all in bank notes; Preseury s. Co.
5000, in bank notes, to New York; and other
brokers, it s believed, also made remittanceG
The presumption is, that the robbery was COM
united this side of Wheeling, for had the mail
reached there, the Plttsburg letters would then
have gone safe to their destination. No infor-
nation has yet, so far as We can learn, been
obtained by which 10 trace the robbery to any
particular point or individual.

TREATISE ON INSANITY. The author Of the
work noticed below, is now on a visit to the
city OF Baltimore, for the purpose Of dlsposlng
otcopcs OF his two pubIcatons-one, Trea-
ties on lnsanity-the other, on Human Ma
ture, Education, the Mind, Insanity, SC, and
we hope that.he will receive from our citizens
liberal patronage.
The following notice of the first mentioned
publication is fiom the Nashville Union, of the
Sd of May last; and we give il in preference to
any comments Of our own on the merits Of the
work:
A Secret Worth Knoping.-.4 Treatise on In
sanity, by G. Grimes, prepared 1chite an in
mate ofths LUna.ic .fsylum al .NashpiAe.
The second edition OF this interesting and
popular work is now in press at this office, and
will be issued in few days. The author has
sold out the entire fist edition Of five thousand
copies since the frs. of September last, in the
few towns in the southwest, where he has ira
yelled. He will leave as soon as the work is
ready, for the northern cities, where we doubt
not he will be literally patronized by all who
sympathiso it'll suffering humanity, and who
feel an interest in that most unfortunate class
of our fellow citizens who have been afflicted
with this most distressing maady.
The first unprecedented sale Of the first edi-
ton of this work has induced the author to
publish second edition of the same, and also
to publish another work upon the action and
power ofthe human mind, prepared by himself
while recovering from insanity, with which he
had been afflicted for many years, and before
he was discharged from the hospital.
This work has just been issued, and meets
with a ready sale In our town, where the au-
thor is we'll known. We have been acquaint-
ed with Major Grimes for many years, and
know him to be an upright and honorable man.
We wish him great success in his new enter
prise.

SALT FOR Hoes. Hogs, during the process
of fattening, should be supplied with salt as
often as once week. 1t is no less advanta-
geous to them than the OK, the COW, or the
sheep, and when literally given is a proven
tative of many diseases, to which, from their
continual confinement, and the effects of
hearty food, they are inevitably exposed.
