Wiimot and to the Railroad, by running the road
through that village, and the feasibility Of the
project. He had, in company with chef Engi>
neer, NOBLE, and others. made a reconnaissance

willing to make extra exertions TO raise an addi
tional ausohnt Of stock subscriptions, equivalent
to the extra Of work in running the road there

Festival-A good time near at hand.

We understand that number of our enterpri-
sing citizens of both sexes contemplate having
on Thursday night of next week at the Durkee
House, grand festival and social gathering
generally, for the benefit of the Public School
We have been let some little into the secret of
the arrangement ard the progress which has
been already made in carrying the project for
ward to completion ard are quite confident that
it will be an exceedingly pleasant atfair.-The
table will be supplied by the liberality of the
Citizens genera'ly-bounrful contributions hav-
ing been Already rendered which no doubt will
be still further added to. The intention is we
believe TO charge an admittanee fee of 10 cents
the eating to be done on the European plan
which is to call for what you want, and pay for
what you get.
No pains will be spared to make the evening
pass sgrecabiy, and we are quite confident from
ter, that their efforts i'll that respect will be
successful
We are requested 10 ask those who have
promised contributions for the table to send it to
the Durkec House on the morning of the day in
question.
We may add that the receipts will be devoted
to the benefit of the Free School in the purchase
of such necessary furniture scientific instru-
ments as the school Board do not feel warran-
ted in making appropriation for out of the pub
lie funds. Is is praisew orthy object and we
know will be most literally patronizcd.

Who ia fSouernnr .

The important question, after having been settled
repeatedly on both sides is still in as much doubt
ever The las, Madison Argus which we have seen,
states positively that there is not particle of doubt
that Ba,stos IS chosen, and the journal the 9TH
or hand is just certain that Bashsord has major
ity Of the votes. The official canvass takes place
on Saturday nex-and if that is not conclusive as TO
the popular voteit will least determine who gets
the certificate We think the effort of the Canvass
will be to act perfectly impartial between the
contcytarts, and as Bashford will have majority of
The votes, to make the thing even they will give
Bars.ow the certificate.

The Madison Journal seems to think that the
State Canvassers are determined to give Gov
BARsTow the certificate, whether the official
figures warrant it or not,-and they surely do
not. The Journei says:
The course of the Argus also indicates the
same thing. just prior to the news from Doug

of ma orities on Governor, in which, BY giving
Barstow 3l2 IN those counties; by adding to

The Argus now puts up Ocento to Ti3 on the

Clark marks each of these counties official, and
elects Barstow by 80 majority.
We think it evident that the canvassers in
