THE ELECTIONS.

1t seems almost impossible to get
correct returns of the Elections held
in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana,
on the second Tuesday of this month,
The reports by Telegraph and other
wise are 50 contradictory that no Q re- re-
lance can be placed upon them. We
know of no better way to get at the
truth than to strike an average be-
tween the highly exaggerated returns
on both sides ofthe question, and say
something: like the following

We cannot but conclude that poll.

Sir,-Considering that trip from

timore would recruit my health, which
was considerably impaired, | conclu.
ded to come out and ride over the
hills'of Preston county. On tile morn

through the County with but little ex.
element, excepting every now and

lofty hill, halt our horses, and look a.
round upon the far-extended land
scape. To describe this, scenery is
impossible. Spread out before US. as

lofty hills, the.rugged sleeps, and the
rough valleys Of Western Virginia,

ceeded on until we came to the Rail-
road, and there the sight we saw !

through the toughest country that !
ever saw. No persons less enterpris.
