WINDHAM COUNTY has polled the largest
vote cast at any state eleetion of which we find
any record. At the same time the Republican
majority for governor will be slightly reduced
from that of 1856. The vote four years since
was-Fletcher 1888 Reyes 6S3; total 1916
This year it is-Fairbanks 3340; SAKE 544 !;
Harvey AS; total 1859. The democrats, not
withstanding their increased activity stimulated
by the war of the two factions, their stump
speeches and their active perambulations are
only 40 ahead of their last years vote. 1t may
be pertinent to remark that the Republican
vote for Lieutenant Governor and Treasurer is
about 80 more than that for Governor, while
Sake is few votes ahead of the balance of the
Douglas ticket. Under all the circumstances,

A FARMER SwINDLED OUT OF 5000 BY A
GlpsEY GANo.-The Palmer (Moss.) journal
gives the following recount of a swindlng case
in Belchertown, Mass:
"About month ago family of strolng
pipseys, consisting of man, woman and child,
with a horse and wagon, pretending to hail from
Egypt came to Bcchertown and remained
uround there several days, picking up preca-
rous subsistence, telling fortunes, &c. The
woman seemed to be the general manager of
affairs. After they had been there a few days,
the woman went to the house of Elijah Clark, a
farmer living about two miles out of the village,
who, probably, didn't take the papers, and in
formed him that there was money buried on the
farm, and she was possessed Of power to dis
cover it, and that it was necessary for them to
have $1,000 before she could do anything.
The last time she came there, after seeing
that the package of money was safe, she took
it and performed the ceremony of making eros
ses and lines with it upon and around the per-
son of Mrs Clark, at thu close of which she
handed the package back, and told them to
keep it safe by looking it up in trunk and not
disturb or look at il for two weeks or the "spcll'
would be broken. She then left for a fourth
consultation with the planets. Probably the
planets have not been propitious, for the Egyp-
tluu DIlcSltsS lldn NV Wv iN'uiHNh'
Mr. Clark fell into the trap, but he could only
raise $500. The Egyptian priesess finally con
cluded that she could find it if they had $500.
She did not want the money, but they must
have it or hand. After seeing the money was
all right, the priestess left to 20 and consult the
planets. She returned two or three times on
different days, announcing at each time that
matters were progressing favoraby, and after
seeing the money was all safe and right, and
performing over it certain mystic ceremonies
and incantations, would depart to again consult
the planets.
After the two weeks had expired, Mr. and
Mrs Clark thought best to see the money, but
on examining the package found it a very nice
imitation of the original minus the $500, which
the priestcss had very adrotly substituted when
performing the last grand incantation, and Mr.
Clark has probably come to the sage conclusion
that there is not quite so much money on his
farm now as there was month ago. Moral
Farmers worth 800 should take the papers"

to be well backed up by his constituents, Mr.

indeed, he never has done) any weakness in the

cally endorsed him for the third time. We
think he will be current any where for at least
