Midnight came we closed the Telegraph,and
nearly ak s;eered ,heirslmbs through the fall
ing snow, homewards, to see Ii they could
.leep in such small county. About O'Clock,
a shout was heard on Market street: windows
were thrown'open, night-caps popped out and
in again, garments were hastily donned IN
anything bu. drawing-room order, and crowds
hurried 10 learn ",he news-what is It !-"1
messenger, through The Storm, from HTtley-l

and the news received with a groan, long
face, and panic-like remark that ''it's all
lost after all W
About the same hour, New Berlin had all
her good news, and was indu,ging In an illu-
minaton on limited scale. "OLD Nm was
in with the biggest kind Of majoritics from
..the Beavers" and them Center districts"
He had sufficient, he thought, to knock down
the heaviest opposing maloriiies, as usual. 1t
happened, however, that MIcH. had slipped
down to Seinsgrove to get the returns and
having heard from that region and around
Lewisburg by the wires, he drove home and
advised "the boys" not to "count any chickens"
Nj t,nv he pe,ys he
too hot "the Beavers and Centers' for once
were overpcwered aud Mn mounted sold

I" more in sorrow than in anger"
II is remembered that when "Israe" started
with his family from Youngstown TO Sclinsgrove,
not quite two years ago, the Longstowners
rung their bells In special honor of the exiles.
II was not a very desirable notice of an unol-
Tending family bu. Israel exhibits commen-
dable spirit, and is perfectly willing to forgive
the Me.ropoli,ans If they will only let him ring
their bells in honor OF his visits hereafter.
The Divisionis.s thought they had al least
two unwavering friends in Center (Neiricks-
town. but the Official says 0. "Who put in
that ticket J" is now the inquiry of the friends
of the two men. 1t is very Ctty question,
which they must decide between them.
OsLE used to say, that when they cast their
vote all on one side, down in Somerset county,
they called such districts, bulls eyes. 1t will
be seen that the North Ward, Lewisburg. has
Division bulls eye" while Center aud the
Beavers are all bull's-eyes" on the other side
of the question. (The story, on the North
side, that Middleswarth had turned for Diyis-
ion, was not generally credited; those bulls
eyes" confute the allegation in toto, and " nail
the lie to the counter" as base invention Of
the enemy.')
One independent freeman got along very
we'll he came $50 miles to vote, had his ex-
penses paid, got little Office while on hand,
and is one Of the "45."
The farmers must have had good time Of
ii"-plenty Of distinguished visitors, who were
excellent company for dull weather and bad
traveing-and as New Berlin or Beaver
delegation would leave one door, a Lewisburg
or Selinssrove troop would enter another.
Occasionally, antagonistic forces would meet
