INDIANA ELECTION.

The Democrats have elected three Rep
resentatives to Congress, viz:
NIBLAcK in the First District. .
ENGLISH in the Second District.
HOLMAN in the Fourth District
In the Third District we regret to say
Judge Hughes has been defeated by about
800 majority Carr, The boiling candi-
date, probably received more than that
number of votes, and thus caused Mr..
Hughes defeat. Davis, an independent
Democrat we believe he calls himself has
been elected in the Seventh District. 1t
is not entirely certain how he will act in
the, next House The Fusionists have
certainly elected seven members. exclusive
of him. The result on the State ticket is
not entirely certain. The divisions which
prevailed among the Democracy in respect
to candidates for Congress. did not extend
to the State ticket We. fear, however,
that it is beaten. The Legislature is Flu

OHIO ELECTION.

The news Of the election is so scattered
and mixed up that we cannot tell what
the Republican majority will be in the
State-probabIy 5000 or 10000. The
following is the result for Congress as
near as can be ascertained:
l. George H. Pendleton, Dem.

8. G. l.. Valandigham, Dem.
3. VIM. Allen, Dem.
5. James NJ. Ashley, Rep

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
The 'Fusionists' owing to the divisions
and distraction of the Democratic organ
ization, seem to have carried this State
with a perfect tornado. We have seen
no estimate made of the majority on the
State ticket but should not be surprised
if it was thirty or forty thousand. We
know of but four Democrats elected by
the regular organization to Congress-
These are Mr. Florence. of Philadelphia,
Mr. Roberts, in the Bucks District, Mr..
Dimmck, in the Monroe District, and
Mr.. Montgomery, in the Washington Dis
trict The latter gentleman is chosen by
from two thousand five hundred to three
thousand majority 1t is not entirely cer-
tain that Mr.. Fisher (DemocraD is not
elected in the Cumberland District. Mr..
Hickman--who claims to be an Inde-
pendent Democrat, aud who sometimes
votes with the Democracy-is again cho-
sen in the Chester District. J. Clancy
Jones is said to be beaten in Berks by an
Independent Democrat, named Schwartz.
The 'Fusionists' have certainly elected
eighteen members, exclusive of these In
deL eudents -a-.. .. .- .

OLD Folks ELopEMEN-.--Justice
Purdy married a couple yesterday,
who fully merit the felicity which
they will doubtless enjoy in con,
nubial union. The bridegroom was
an old bachelor, whose years num-
bered three scores and ten, and
whose looks betokened him innocent
Of womankind. His bride was a
widow, who asserted that she was
but fifty seven, but the bystanders
set her down at eighty. Itappeared
that the widow, in the exercise of
those winsome ways which widows
do.afect, inveigled the bachelor in
to an attachment which hotlI parties
proposed to consummate in matri-
mony. An objection arose, how
ever, in the shape Of several infants,
twenty-eight or thirty years old,
belonging to the widow, who most
decidedly objected to their marry
ing. In this dilemma they resorted
to the usual dodge peculiar to young
people, and eloped. AS they lived
in Canada, the only place to elope
to was America, and they according
ly came to Detroit, the bridegroom
coming first, and the widow joining
him afterwards. Their delight at
the successful termination of their
romantic adventures was unboun-
ded.-Detr04t Free Press.

The EoL1AN HARr.-A cores
dent desires US to give him some
particulars Of this instrument, and
directions how to construct it !; and
as the summer is coming on, and
its melancholy music may find many
who will enjoy it during the hot
season, we give the desired intor1na-
ton for the benefit of all our
readers
This instrument consist of a long
narrow box of very thin pine, about
six inches deep, with a circle in
the middle of the upper side, of an
inch an a half in diameter, in which
are to be drilled small holes. On
this side, seven, ten, or more strings
Of very fine cutgut are stretched
over bridges at each end, like the
bridge Of a fiddle, and screwed up
or relaxed with screw pins. The
strings must all be tuned to one
and the same note ID is, perhaps,
the best,) and the instrument should
be placed in window partly open,
in which the width is exactly equal
to the length Of the harp, with the
strings admission. When the air
blows upon these strings with differ
ent degrees Of force it will excite
different tones Of sound. Some
times the blast brings out all the
tones in full concert, and sometimes
It sinks them to the softest mur-
mers.
A colossal imitation of the in
strument just described was invent
ed at Milan in 1889, by the Able
Gattoni. He stretched seven strong
iron wires, turned to the note of the
gamut, from the top Of tower six
ty feet high, to the tune of q 81 gnor
