1t appears by the figures above that DR.. Day
is the only Wing elected to the Legislature
from this district.
The Official returns may possibly vary the re-
1t is very close shave all round, save with
Rogers (Dem.) who is considerably behind his
ticket.
We have nothing definite from other portions
of the Fourth Council District, but presume
there is no doubt of the election of Frccborn.
In the Third Council District, Stearns, Wing.
is elected TO The Council, and Plumer, Wing,
and Gardner, Independent Dem, to the House.
This ticket had fine majority at st. Anthony

Stevens (Whig) has majority in Hennepin
comfy over Fletcher (Dem.) for the House.
Wig county ticket elected.
The Democratic candidates for the Council
in the first District Mower and StmsOn are both
elected.

Frccborn has majoritics in all the counties of
the Fourth Council district, save Wabasha, and

none perhaps is more pcrplexing or responsiblc,
than that of selecting from the mass of ScbonI
Books, those particular authors he will give the
preference. About sixteen years experience in
teaching. however, should afford some prepara-
ton for Il judicious choice of text books
The object in the selection and recommended
ton of books is to secure those that will best
subserve educational purposes. After a care
