The election IN this city passed of yery
quietly. The number OF votes cas-: is e3S,
being some D more than were east at the
gubernatorial election in 1861. But for The
extreme lnclemeLcy OF the weather on

faithfully and po..ed . larger vote han
ever before. Still the vote does not fully
represent the strength ofthe Union party in
this township, as several were known to b
absent and quite number were unable to
come out on account Of the severe and long
continued storm. The Cops were very
quiet and did very little ontside work.-I6.
