Gentlemen Below give you the result of the
election in this county, yesterday, for Delegate
and Congressman. The result is moi so favora-
BILE as we could have wished, and is attributable
10 a great measure 10 the immense foreign vote
which was brought to the aid OF Mr.. Irving
there being, as am informed, 80 foreign votes
cast for him, and only 2 for his competitor, Mr..
Bocock.
The vote for Mr.. Gay, under the circumstan-

The Wing, basng its opinions upon The in
formation ofts friends, rather confidently throws
down the challenge 10 us, 10 go into an invesiga-
ton OF the illegal votes upon The Democratic and
Wing polls Of this District, respectively. While
we are more than ever satisfied of The correctness
of our own assertions touching The number Of il
legal votes polled by the Wings, we see no
practical benefit 10 ensus from such an inveslga-
lion. No purging of the polls, we admit, would
prevent the election OF Mr.. Bolts; and as the
canvassing of votes might produce unnecessary
i'll feeling and excitement, we forbear, from mo-
,ves of delicacy, to press the subject. uropin-
ion is still unchanged, however.

ness and affection, which will live in my
memory while they arc slumbering in the
tomb The school, its inmates, the many va
RED and interesting scenes Of those brief
three years, and the sudden passing away of
them all, have burst upon my bowildered WIS.,
ION IN such rapid succession, that the impress
ION produced is deep and permanent. Sure
ly such things cannot be, GO and overcome us
like summer cloud, without our special
wonder!' 1t has all passed away. l have
told my tale: let me now draw q veil over
the whole, and leave its moral to those who,
like me, loved and cherished the departed,
while life and vigor, and usefulness was there
and who treasure deep.in their souls the low
ed remembrance Of their virtues. No disser-
tation on the uncertainty Of human life is
needful for them. The startling reality
stares them sadly, wildly in the face! Forms
that were strong and vigorous, are now pale,
wasted and wasting; the beauty and glory of
life is exchanged for the deep, deep toulncss
Of a wOrm-intestcd grave; and those poor,
dear friends have left the large, massive pile
which was their stately residence, and have
gone to visit the death-worms Of the dust
gone to "miX forever with the clements" to
be brothers and sisters of " the inscnsiblc rock
aud sluggish clod which the rude swain turns
with his Share and trcads upon"
Farewell and while we mourn over your
melancholy forms that we laid away, covered,
hidden, as unsghtly things, look down as
spirits Of light look, bright happy, smiling,
ncw-crcated, upon your train Of mourners,
and forget us not Till we renew our COM
panionship in all its freshness, its fadeIessncss
till soul is united to soul, spirit to spirit,
love to love, in the far-of angels world-lead
us and guide us
at is not the tear at this moment she'd
When the cold turf has just been laid DER them,
That can tell how beloved were the friends that

4 X Ifthere were none or earth to shed a
tear for me- I should be 10th 10 live; and if one
might weep over my grave, l could never die in
peace.-Dr Johnson.
One sacred tear,
No tongue can tell the joy this token brngoth;
The bliss that, like gushing fountain, sprngcth
When ali is drear:
When future pleasures, we so fondly cherished,
Like sunset glory from the Skies have persisted.
1t cheers our hearts
Like distant music when night hOvcrs DER u.s.
Like morn's bright banner spreading wide before us
When night departs;
Like dreams Of heaven in our midnight slumbCr,
Where weights of glory each brghttorm cucumber
Its light is given
Like springs bright sunshine, richly raught with
blessing; sing;
Like balm in sickness, when life's cares are pres
When hope is riven;
When, link by link affections chain is broken,
How sweetIy sad appears this silent token;
When cartlrs cold gaze
l. fixed upon us; when the heart is wasting;
When from our sight loves messengers hastng;
When hope decays;
Whom friend and friend endure the last sad parting,
How sweet to sec this precious token starting
It tells of truth
In tho fond bosom of brother thrng;
And from the fountains Of his soul dstilling,
Like hope in youth,
rs spring Of the rich blossoms coming telling,
SO it proclaims where love has fH9d its dwelling.
It's blessed ray
Falls the sweet sunshine Of the heart, and gadncss
Spreads Ger orr skies and the dark night Of sadness
Gives place to day;
To joys sad grave it brings a cup Of healing,
The brotherhood Of human hearts revealing.

SCGTOO1 IttrcT, June 8, 1871
Emptying into the Hudson River aboutff-
/ teen miles north Of Glen's Falls is quite a
large stream, sometimes called the East
Branch of the Hudson, but generally known
as Scaroon Rivers Its extreme length is
not far from fifty miles 1t is a clear, cold
and rapid stream, winds through q mountain
OuG country,and has rather q deep channel
The valley through which it runs is somewhat
cultivated, but the mountains, which fro"n
upon it on either side. are covered with dense
forests. The valley Of the Soaroon ahoUuds
in beautiful lakes and brcoi,s and as / have
explored them pretty thoroughly during the
past week, l will now record the result Ofmy
observations.
The most prominent pictorial features Of
this region is Scaroon Lake, through which
the river Of that name forms a channel. It's
ten miles in length, and averages about one
mile in width. Excepting little at its head,
and two or three farms at the southern end,
It is yet surrounded with Il wilderness Of
mountains. The waters thereof are deep and
clear and pretty well supplied with fish, of
which the salmon trout and pike are the most
valuable. The trout are more abundant here
than in Lake George, but owing to the pre-
vailing custom Of spcarng them in the au-
tumn, they are rapidly becoming extinct. |
made desperate effort to capture one rs
specimen but without success, though l was
told they varied in weight from ten to fifteen
lbs. My efforts, however, in taking pike
we're more encouraging. but, before giving
my experience, must mention an Interest,"
ing fact in natural history. Previous to the
year 1910, Scaroon lake was rot known to
contain single pike, but during that year
some half dozen males and females were
brought from Lake Cbamplain and deposited
thercin,sncc which time they have multiplied
so rapidly, as to be quite abundant, not only
in Scaroon Lake, but in all the neighboring
waters. And as they are frequently taken,
weighing some twenty pounds, the fact seems
to be established that this fish grows quite
rapidly, and is not OF slow growth, as many
naturalists have supposed.
But to my pike story. A lot oflrnbormon
were going out for the purpose Of taking pike
by torch light and / was fortunate enough to
secure 4 seat in one Of the three flat boats
which contained the fishermen. It was sy.-
perb night and the lake was without a ripple
Our torches were made Of d" fat pinc,' as it is
here called, and my polite friends taking it
for granted that was novice in the spearing
business, they cunningly awarded to me the
dullcst spear in possession, and gave me the
to all this, but inwardly resolved that would

; swarthy forms who were watching for their
prey. just at this moment an immense cloud
oftog broke away, and directly above the
summit OF the opposite mountain the clear
full moon made its appearance, and II thou
sand fantastic figures born Of the fog were
pictured in the sky, and appeared extremely
brilliant under the ehulgence Of the ruling
planet; while the zenith Of sky was of deep
blue, cloudless, but completely spangled with
stars. And what greatly added to the magic
Of the scene, was the dismal scream Of a loon
which came to the ear from a remote portion
of the lake which was yet covered with Il
heavy fog. Rising from the western margin
OF Scaroon Lake is quite lofty mountain,
which was once painted by Thomas Cole and
by him named Scaroon mountain. There is
nothing particularly imposing about it, but it
commands an uncommonly fine prospect of
! the surrounding country. When first came
in sight Of this mountain, it struck me as an
old acquaintance, and | rcigned in my horse
for the purpose of investigating Before
resumed my course | concluded that | was
standing on the very spot, whence the artist
Cole had taken Lis original sketch Of the
scene, by which circumstance | was conyinc-
ed Of the fidelity OF his pencil.
The largest island in Scaroon Lake lies
nearest the northern extremity and studs the
water like an emerald on field Of blue. 1t
was purchased some years ago by gentleman
Of N. York named Ireland, who has built
summer residence upon it, for the accommo-
dation Of himself and friends.
Emptying into the Scaroon river, just be-
low tie Lake, is q superb mountain stream
known as Trout brook. It is thirty feet wide
twelve miles long, and comes rushing down
the mountains forming a thousand waterfalls
and pools and filling its narrow valley with
an everlasting war. Not only is it distin-
guished for the quality and great number Gas
well as sizc) of its trout, but it possesses one
attraction which will pay the tourist for the
weary tramp he must undergo to see it. /
alludc to what the people about there, call
I" The Stone Bridge" AT this point, the wild
and dashing stream, has formed channel d.
rectly through the solid mountains so that in
fishing down the angler finds himself standing
upon pile Of dry stones. The extent of
this natural bridge is not more than twenty
or perhaps thirty feet but the wonder is that
the unseen channel is sufficiently large to adj.
init the passage Of the largest logs which the
lumbcrmen float down the stream. | might
also add that at the foot Of this bridge is one
Of the finest pools Imaginable. 1t is, perhaps
one hundred feet long, and so very deep that
the clear water appears perfectly black. This
is the finest spot in the whole brooI, for trout
and my luck there may be described as fol-
lows: | had baskcted 10 less than niue half
Founders when my fly was suddenly seized,
and my smell swept in twain by the tercencss
Of his leaps. The consequence Of that de-
feat was that | resolved to capture the trout,
