Election Returns.

We have delayed our paper until the
very last moment this week, in hopes
of being able to lay before our readers
full returns from this county, but, as
usual, it is next to impossible to hear
from some of the townships. So far
'as we can learn, however, the result
is triumphant victory for the Repub-
licans.
SILVER CREEK.-A very light vote
was polled in this town, owing, We
suppose to there being but one ticket
lin the field. The Supervisor is Barth
W. Schermerhorn; Henry Michael,
Clerk; r. Watson, Treasurer; M.
Cory, Justice of the Peace, full term !;
George Andrews, vacancy.
LAGRANGE.-Democratic beyond a
question, but by what majority we are
unable to say. BY the way would it
not be well for the Republicans of this
town to follow the example of the Dem
ocrats in Silver Creek, where the Re-
publicans have an erwin Ginning ma ori.
ty, and go in for "Union Ticket. "
By this means some good Union man
might get an Office, and thereby do q
vast amount of good. There is GER
tainly need Of it.
WAYNE.-Has, as usual, done nobly.
Every candidate on the Republican
ticket was elected by the following ma
jorities Supervisor, 80; Clerk, 25 ;
Treasurer, Sc; Justice, 50; School
Inspector, 40; the balance of the tick
ct from Al to 40.
VoL1NIA.- Elects the entire Repub.
Iican ticket by 81 majority. The Su-
pervisor is Alexander Copley.
JEFEERsoN.-Democratie by small
majority.

1t is our painful duty to state, at this
hour, that Messrs. jenkins, Hart and
Goodrich, are dead-having died at 5,
1O4, and at III o'clock, respectively,
this morning, making total of seve'a
killed. Colonel Brooks squad, going
up through the O'Hair settlement, re-
captured Levi Freisner and also the
guard of Butternuts placed over him,
six or eight in all. 1t is said that the
"enemy" are now gathered two or three
hundred strong, under j. H. O'Hair, at
Golliday's Mill, some ten miles north
east from here. Whether this be so,
or not, we are unable to say. Mr..
O'Hair sent word to Colonel Mitchell
that if he would make the soldiers be-
haze, he would do the same by his
men They will probably "behave. %
There are new some forty prisoners,
guerrillas and citizens of constitution

and more being arrested.

Ashburton, who was born in Philadel-

the rumors that the rebels are congre-
