A'h" Ao"h, A'O'' 80 I.
The most interesting contest IN this city
has been for the Office Of City Comptroller,
and the vote has been very close between
A. c. Flagg, Soft, the present incumbent
and J. S. Giles, Know Nothing. They
polled upwards of 10000 votes between
them, ard the result is a little over 100 ma.
jorty for Flagg, with one small district to
hear from, which it is believed will not
vary this aspect.
The footings Of the latest election re-
turns give the Know Nothngs about H.
900 plurality over the Republicans, and
nearly three times as many over the Soft
Shells. The Legislature as far as heard
from, now stands as follows: Senate,
Know Nolhings IL, Republicans IA, Dem
ocrats Z; Assembly, Know Nothings 80,
Republicans 80, Democrats 40, with seven
districts to hear from.

ed in extricating herself, but found, to hel
momentary dismay, that her husband was
entombed in the wreck of their dwelling, and
that it would be impossible for her TO re-
leve him alone.
She reflected but moment when turning
to her husband, she uttered some cheering
words, and announced her determination to sc
in quest of assistance. Forth she went
in the midst of the bowling storm, the winds
sighing n requium over the ruin they had
caused, and the stately trees crashing IN theiI
fall before the omnipotenee of the tempest
But she needed not the danger; buoyed
by strong affection she moved onward, an
incarnation of heroism and self-sacrificinS
love, through the hurricanes track, and reach
ed unnamed the residence of he's neighbor,
Assistance was procured, and her husband re-
stored to as true wife as ever hallowed with
felicities the life of man."
