The city and township elections passed off
quietly yesterday in nearly all the Wards,
the Fourth and Thirteenth, Where all cleo
tions are only rendered legal by variety of
fights, ofcourse excepted. Very little interest
was felt, and all the Wards show falling off
Of from one TO three hundred votes; the Ger
man Wards, except the Eleventh, being par
ticularly behind. The vote shows small
Democratic victory in the city, but the .Oppoo-
In the Eleventh Ward, by some peculiar
circumstance, at present inexplicable, two
hundred votes more were given than there
were names on the poll-books, and new
election will be held there in consequence.
We annex full returns below from all the
wards except the Thirteenth, where the
clerks adjourned before the vote was counted:

The Discovery of the New Planet-Lever-
rier Acting rs Astrologer for the French
Emperor.
The Paris correspondent of the New York
Times writes thus from the former city ON
the. goth of February;
For weeks the scientific journals have been
filled with eulogiums of the modest DIR. Le-
scarhault, who, between his visits to his pa
tients, and with the most imperfect instru-
ments possible, found planet which the OBJ
seryatories, with all their appliances Of art,
had failed to perceive. And yet NJ. Lever
rier had predicted that such body existed
in q certain space indicated, and that the
Observatory of Paris, and no doubt of other
capitals, has been for several years seeking
its presence, but it was reserved for an OBJ
scure country physician, in q remote and un-
heard-of village, to find the coveted planet.
Let not the reader imagine, however that
the discovery was mere matter of chance,
the Doctor made his calculations according
to the best principles of astronomical knowl-
edge; he found his planet on the blackboard
before finding it in the heavens.
But when | say blackboard it is mere
figure of speech, for when NJ. Leverrier went
to pay visit to the astronomical doctor, to
see his calculations and his apparatus, he was
astonished TO find that the former were made
on pine board with a piece of charcoal, and
this precious bit of rural science the learned
Professor of the Observatory brought to Paris,
and exhibited to his learned colleagues of the
Institute. The fact is, the Doctor was too
poor to furnish himself with either black
board or the paper used for astronomical cal
culations, and he was in the habit when his
board got full, of planning it of. His calcula-
tions, as verified by NJ. Leverrier and the In
stitute, wonderful to relate, had but an error

SINGULAR INFATUATIoN AND MYSTERIOUS
DIsAPPEARANcE OF A LITTLE GIRL.-A little
girl, about nine years Of age, named Louisa
Virginia Hale, disappeared very suddenly
and misteriously from the residence of her
mother, at No. 343 Central-avenue, last Sat-
urday morning, and since that time, although
diligent inquiry has been made, no tidings of
her whereabouts have been received. She is
quite intelligent, precocious and talkative,
and her mother, on several occasions, had
permitted her to appear upon the stage in
plays which required children of her age.
The gay dress and parade which she saw,
only in the brilliant glare Of the foot-lights,
seemed to fascinate the child, and when she
was not to appear before the audience, she
would run away from home, wait about the
entrance TO one of the theaters, and, when
an opportunity occurred, would avail herself
of it, mix with crowd which was passing in,
and take seat in front with all the sang j}roid
OF an old habitue of the establishment.
This became habituaL and after the close of
the performance we have often seen her on
her way home, sometimes in company with
her mother, who had been ransacking the
theaters to find her stage-struck daughter,
and at Others alone, passing along the street,
repeating some passages she remembered from
the play, and making all sorts of pompous
gestures, or practicing absurd attitudes, to
be found no where under Heaven save in
theatrical representations.
Her long-continued absence has alarmed
her mother, who is widow, and extremely
anxious of learning her whereabouts. She
is quite fond of telling stories to excite SYM
pathy, is never at loss for something to say,
and gives promise Of having quite as much
invention as Bocaccio or Ceryantes. She has
quite a neat little figure, short and straight,
has blue eyes, brown hair, a good COM
plexion, and was dressed, when she left
home, in blue muslin delain frock and blue
silk bonnet.
We understand that Mrs. Hale intended Ia
leave the city, in a few days, to proceed to
Philadelphia, leaving her erratic child, who
has not yet reached her second lustrum, in
the care Of the Sisters of the Good Sheppard
until her return; but the pseudo actress
seems to have taken advantage of her liberty
to provide place for herself Her precocity
Is remarkable, and we would not be the leas
surprised to see her brought before the publ,
within twelve months, under an assumed
name, In the shape Of one of those publ,
nuisaness yolept 'anfAnt phsnomena."

A BUcoLIc BUCKEYE ADRoITLY ROBBED
A man named Henry Cunningham arrived in
the city from Clermont County few days
ago, and while wandering about the river,
day before yesterday, was met by couple Of
men, whom he found quite agreeable as COM
panions, and for whom he soon conceived
considerable fondness. They walked through
the principal thoroughfares during the after
noon, and separated in the evening, appar-
emily admirably pleased with their newly
found acquaintance.
A short time after Cunningham arrived at
his hotel he discovered that his port-monnaie,
containing fifty-six dollars in gold, had mys-
teriously disappeared, and light broke upon
his mind that almost dazzled him. He con-
cluded that his pocket had been picked, and
we doubt not he was more than half right.
He had an appointment to meet his friends,
but they did not come and now feeling salts
fed that he had been victimized, he deter
mined to pocket his loss and return to his
rural home, which he accordingly did early
yesterday morning.
