licans one majority in the House, but the

islature just elected, and as the Governor
elect is Republican, his party will have
control.

bic excitement exists among the Mormon

Leipsic and Waterloo. Whatever else may
be said of the musical veteran, it is certainly

- The Montgomery Mail, of Thursday
evening last, has the following: A gentle
man, who is heavy planter in the cane
