For SALT RIvER.-Last week we received a
ticket for trip up Salt River, but we have
concluded to lay over a short time, as most
nrobably we would have to come down again
on the 4th November. We trust our Demo-
cratic friends will not think we are acting un-
courteous and as we will have no need for it
after the 4th. we will hand over the ticket to
some one of them.

ONO ELEcrIos.-The returns from Ohio
show that the Republicans have carried the
State by over twenty thousand majority. As
far as heard from. the Republicans have cleo
ted thirteen members of Congress, and the
Democrats five. The 11th and 18th Districts
are yet to be heard from, and are probably
Republican.

THE YELLOW FEVER VS.. FIGS.-The Norfolk
Argus states that not more than about % per cent
of the fig crop in that vicinity came to maturity;
and assigns the yellow fever that prevailed there
during the summer as the cause 1t says:
A large portion of every. kind, except small
white variety, called "the celestial fg" exhibited
signs of decay before they were fully ripe. A small
soft spot was first observed, generally on the fig
towards and nearest the ground. This increased
rapidly until the whole fig was mass of very
offensive and disgusting putrid matter. 1t may be
worthy of note too, that portions of the leaves
on some of the shade trees changed to dark color
and withered as early as the middle of September
