Couldn't Cose a.--On Monday last
an election was held in this place for the
purpose Of choosing two School Directors
to complete tue Board. The polls were
opened at 2 o'clock, and the voting COM
menced without regard to party. But the
Locos, thinking that our Republican boys
were asleep, concluded they would 'steal a
march" upon us, and accordingly com
menced their sly game. A ticket of their
own was slyly gotten up, aud their mar
shals and runners were out drumming up
the unterri6ed, filing them into rank and
making preparations to give us an GwfuI
drubbing before We were aware of then
design. Ga, how their hearts were eIated
with the hope that they would steal &C.
LoR1ous victory and then bring out th'
rooster. But-alas, poor Chanticleer; alas
vain delusion-our boys smet the rat ant

publicans came off victorious with ten Q
