enough in oln OF our columns for the fol-
lowing item:
The Register Office corps consists of
nine persons, viz two editors and proprie-

Election Returns.

The Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th says
that the Anti-Nebraska majority in Ohio is
about ,FIrTr THOUSAND and more like
II to exceed that number than fall below
it."
In Pennsylvania Pollock, the Wing cam
didate for Governor, is undoubtedly elected
and by heavy majority. The Pittsbnrg
Post of the 18th says:-"The returns up to
this hour indicate that 1--WE have met the
enemy and-wc are theirs The thing is
in a pretty bad mix, and may turn out much
better; but Notwithstanding, we would not
advise sanguine Democrats to bet very high
on Bgler. The rest of our State ticket is
elected"
In Indiana the Anti, Nebraska majority is
very large. In every county there is a
Wing Gain; in several, the returns from
which We have seen, that gain in each is
over one thousand.

A Spiritual Family.

There is family by the name OF Scott,
living at Marlborough, Stark county, Ohio,
Consisting OF NJ. Scot and wiie, two sons
and i've daughters, and several sons-ih-iaw
and grand daughters. Dat Of the whole
number there are SIX Or seven medums.-
Oie OF them, an old maid, predicted IN 1872
that famine would occur, com nenc,ny III
1888, and continue to grow worse till 1856,
and the eartG would not gam it, proiuctive-
ness till the end oil seven years. Taey ac-
cordingly went to work storing provisions
70 last them through, expending their mean
in the purchase OF great Variety OF arti-
Giles. As they claim to be perfectly at home
in any persons house SO they tell visitors
that thy can enjoy the same privilege.
Our int.rmint therefore, went through the
residence Of the old man, and saw the prep
aration for the years OF famine. Six hun
dred bushels of wheat were stored in one
place; twenty-five bushels of beans, raised
on ground directedby the spirits, in another
fifty bushe OF buckwheat, beets. potatoes.
pork, apple sauce, in short, evey article that
awell regulated housewiiescould desire to
make her Home comfortable.
Two of the girls had stock of millinery
which they sold and expended the money in
the necessaries Of life. One of them calls
herself "Old Joe," because, like Joseph, of
old, she has prepared for n famine. Her
dress, made by directions of the spirits, is
one of the oldest coverings ever prepared
by human being. 1t is somewhat after
the Bloomer fashion, with the pants left off,
of yellow coarse plaid, with huge scollops
running around the neck, bottom and sleev.
She also wears sack of the grotesYue pat
tern. He bonnet Of straw is ornamented
with two ostrich feathers, fastened on Ell
ther side. looking like two huge ears.
One Of them paints spiritual flowers, to-
tally different from anything that has ever
yet been seen. 1t is certain, without assu-
ring you, that she never learned to paint
These paintings are made for use, accord
ing TO the directions Of the spirits. One of
the daughters having lameness, she was
directed to travel seven different WAYS, till
she procured seven different kinds of water,
in which she should wash. A visit was made
to the Ohio river, where seven of the spiri.
tual paintings were set afoat, when the wa
ter was dipped up and used The next visit
was to Lake Erie, where the same ting was
done. When the seven washiugs are COM
plcted she will be healed.
