COMING IN SLowLY.-The returns of
the so-called election in this county on
Thursday last comes in slowly. So
ponderous was the vote that it must
need yet several days to count it. Suf-
ficient is known, however, to justify the
announcement that Messrs. ]. II. Haines,
George Fl. Turner, James 7. Reed, Robt.
n. Duke, DR.. James Logic, w. G. But
Ter and John d. Staley are elected Su-
pervisors of their respective townships.
Messrs. Samuel Ridenour and Nathaniel
Myers were elected Magistrates for
Charlestown township-the officers
elect we are not able to state, the list
not having been furnished US.
Thirteen votes cast in this township,
out of t,centy-trO registered! The vote
Of the Charlestown precinct before
the administration of the McKevitts,
was fire hundred, 1t is time an end
should be put to the Outrages of the
present rulers.
In this township of the thirteen suf-
I fragans, we are informed only nine were
elected to office! 1t is a pity that four
"loyalists" should be left out " in the
wet" because of the lack Of offices. A
constitutional defect that should be i'm
mediately remedied.

THE CHURCH CAsE.-It will be re-
membered that the case for possession
of the Church and Parsonage of this
place between the NJ. Z. Church North,
and NJ. +. Church South, was heard at
the last term of our Circuit Court, and
by the jury was decided in favor of the
NJ. Z. Church North. But it being un-
derstood that the case would be taken
to the Court of Appeals, all was done
during the trial to aid in making up the
records to be sent to the Court of Ap-
peals; but owing to some neglect the |
records were not sent up within the re-
auired time, and hence the NJ. E. Church
South failed in obtaining an appeal. |
In consequence of this, on Monday af.
terneon, the NJ. Z. Church North,
through the services of the Sheriff and
his deputies, took possession of the
Church, and also the parsonage, by per-
mitting the family Of Rev. Mr.. Coe to
occupy portion of the dwelling for
the present. On Tuesday morning,
Rev. Mr.. Green moved into the parson-
age. On the same day an order was
obtained from Judge Hall to stay all
proceedings for fifteen days, which now
leaves both ministers in the same house,
and the M. f. Church North in posses
sion of the Church building.
We are sorry to see so much wrang-
ling between these churches, and those
who are looked upon as exemplary char
acters-and we hope it may soon be
amicably adjusted.
We are requested to state by the Clerk
of the Court, in order that he may not
he misrepresented, that the delay in max
ing up the records in the NJ. Z. Church
cases for the Supreme Court, was caused
by the neglect of the counsel employed
in the cases, as it was their duty to or
der the records, which was neglected
until few days previous to the expira-
tion of the time given the defendants
to procure writ of superseadeas, and
he is willing to make oath to that
effect.

The long continued cold and wet
weather of the spring has been unfav-
orable to most of the crops Oats have
been at stand still for two weeks.
What corn is above the ground has a
sickly appearance, while the actual
ravages of the caterpillar upon the
fruit trees and the greater ravages
threatened by the locusts already near
the surface of the ground, furnish ample
material for c, oakers. The wheat and
grass crops, however, promise well, and
we are rs yet without injury from frosts.
