After the vote of the First Ward had been
announced at}the two polls large number of
the friends OF Mr.. Forsyth called on him at his
residence on G street, and were Hospitality re-
celyed. Mr. L. and his lady were felly pre-

was in the height Of enjoyment
Dr. Magruder being present was called on,
and q short speech congratulated them on the

fected the result in the slightest degree, not
even in single precinct.
