tbs ELxcrIoN.-We have but q little more
this morning with reference to the election,
As bearing upon the New Constitution.
Clinton county gives small majority for
it. Cedar county gives $50 majority for it.
Jasper county gives $50 majority for it. 1t
is not certain, by any means, yet, how it has
Jared. But so far the majority for it is
greater than Fremont's majority last fall in
the same counties, taken together, and We
think the prospect is fair that has been
adopted.

Walter Fairholme, who sailed as Lieu,enan,
OF the Erebus in the Franklin Expedition in
May, ls4s. Geo. Fairholms claimed under q

the death OF the testaior in 1853 preceded
or followed that of his nephew Walter, who

nothing had since been heard.
The weight Of the testimony was strongly
In favor OF the assumption tina. the death

"The good steamer Ion was coming down
the beautiful St. Clair, when noble buck
was seen swimming across ahead Of her. To
lower away boat and give chase was only
the work of a moment, and with stout line
he was taken by the antler, and safely brough,
upon the steamers deck. A good deal of
admiration was excited by his fine proper.
tons, and among his admirers was the cook,
goodlv specimen OF Africa's CLINE, who
imagined that, from the docile appearance OF
the animal. he ~as quiet as . sheep. He
therefore undertook to caress him, and to Law
bis hands upon his haunch, when he was as
tonished by q vigorous kick, that laid him
SPRAYING on the deck. Nothing daunted,
however, Cufy thought to succeed better By
the head, but the deer liking this no better
made bat that laid the iark.y out again.

This was too much of a good thing; so Cuff
