How England expects 10 reconquer iudiA. i.

The London Times begins to appreciate the

carved out for the English government in
India, and now admits that the fevolted pro-
vinces will have to be reconqnefed at grsaies

tablishment, and they came at the regular
price, one accompanied with a neat gold
pen and holder, another with genIleman's

compa anies every book worth 81, according

suppose is q solution the mystery. If you
send, you will al any rate get book which
you can select from their catalogue, that will
be worth your money.

WILMoT's DIsTRIcT-Among the statIfy-

the vote in Wilmol's District which has large.
ly fallen off from the Fremonl's vote last
fall. In Susquehanna rounty, his majority
is only $so5, which last fall Fremont had
over 1900. Some of the county ticket runs
as low as 539. II would thus seem that the
people there are returning TO their reason
and probably falling back 10 their ancient
party fidelity. 1t will be but little while
before white man will be as good as ne :
