The Election.

This important business was done up yester-
day by the sovereigns Of Iowa and several 9th.
er states. At McGregor there was more ex-
element than was ever witnessed here before.
The "County Seat had to be settled and sew
eral important Town Offices TO be filled-for
these last there were half dozen asrirants to
each vacant post. Free fights" we're as plen-
titul as they arc reported to be at Donnybrook
itself, and there was certainly no lack of spirit
in the contestants for the lonors of a broken
head.
The vote polled was not so large rs was anici-
pated, but larger then ever cast before. On
the County Seat question there were polled 305
votes, Of which Elkader received maj. of
l36. Thomas Arnold is Justice of the Peace,

ton Trustees, A. F. Kee and John A. Brown

Mr.. Browns name was the only Ole before
the people and as his election was conceded, no
interest was taken in relation to it. From a
slight personal acquaintance with Mr.. Brown
We have every reason to think the County
could not have secured the services of more
suitable man.

usual, it is seasoned just to our taste;-we have

the New York Publishing House, Leonard
Scott d Co., we learn that Black wood and the
Quarterlies have an exchange list with Ameri-
can papers alone amounting to 1900! This
fact makes US happy that it is not our fate to
do the mailing for it-as that number of "Ex-

The Post 0fce.-Tle McGregor P. o. has
been removed to the Room lately occupied by
Wezel d Glarner. This change was made for
several reasons. 1t will be much more conye-
nient for the receipt and delivery of the River
mails-the room is much larger and is more
creditable in appearance-it will obligc the
great body OF the business customers of the
ofiice-it will be quite as convenient for up
town residents because it is the habit of every
man at McGrcgor to come down, at least once
a day, to the foot of Main Street to look at the
river, the ferry, the steam boats or something
else. So, take it altogether, the change is a
good oncfor the public and obliges those who
attend to the duties of the Office. If the pub.
lie is suited we certainly are.

Returncd-Since our last issue we have had
the pleasure of meeting Hons. II. b. Carter of
the Senate, and L. G. Collins of the House.
With the latter gentleman no opportunity for
talk was had--he was on the stage, bound for
the "wife and woans" when we saw him, and
VIC had too much consideration for his "phee-
link" to attempt to detain him. Senator Carter
informs us that the Printing Bill allows county
papers 81 cents per thousand ems instead of 30
as we had reported. This is a small Price, but
it is the cost of composition and as that is what
the Times suggested, we are content. VIII

Ne'c England House-It will be seen by our
Advertising columns that Scorr, late rroprie-
tor Of this House has given place to J, P. Myers
Esq, late Of the Springfield Hotel on the Mo-
mona and Postville road. Tho New England
Hotel is abont three miles west Of Monona
and under the management of our friend Scott
it has acquired high reputation as Travel
ler's home. We are assured that the change
of proprietors will not affect its popularity ex-
cept to add the friends of Myrcs to its preyi-
GUS heavy list of patrons The next time we
get to Monona We will make it in our way to
drive up to the New England just to see if the
good name given to Myers by travellers is
merited-we have no doubt of it at all but
''seeing is believing" and VIC are bound to see
for ourselves.

appointed Post Master at Fl Atkinson in
place of T. Woods removed. Mr.. Cooney is
all old citizen of the Fort, was the p. M. there
when the receipts were not so much as so
per annum and it is but right that he should
now be invested with commission that has
grown into value in great measure by his
own exertions, inducing settlers to locate in
that vicinity. We have reason to believe that
