The Elections.

Our returns of the elections on last
Tuesday are as follows:
MISREPRESENTATION. Bullock the
republican candidate is reelected by
$4,000 majority; but the State goes
overwhelmingly against prohibitory
liquor law, aud in favor of license.
New JERsEY.--New York, Nov.
5.-The election in New Jersey for
six State Senators and sixty Assem-
blymen has resulted in large Demo
cratic gains, and both Houses will be
Democratic by considerable MAORI
ties. The gains have been general
throughout the State, and shows a
large preponderance of Democrats
in the popular vote.
ILLMoIs.-Chicago, Nov. 5.-The
election to-day passed off very quiet
ly. Only about two-thirds of the full
vote was polled. Gen. Osborn, the
Republican candidate for County
Treasurer, has 4,O03 majority in this
city, with one precinct to hear from.
His majority in the County will prob
ably exceed 5000. j. NJ. Wilson
who ran as an independent candidate
for Judge of the Superior Court is
beaten in this city by $50 majority.
Observation-Disclosures, Nd, Nov
5.-Eighteen Wards in this city give
a Democratic majority of a little ovel
$4,000; a gain of nearly 1000 since
the last election.
| observation-disclosures, Nov. S.
The negro suffrage proposition re
ceived only about TOO votes. Mrs
Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, VIII
have been canvassing the State il
favor of female suffrage, visited tn
polls of each ward and addressed tn
voters-probably the first occurrenc
of the kind in this country. The
were accompanied by the Hutchinso
Family, who sang some of their can
. paign songs. The party were re
ceived in every precinct with heart
, cheers for woman's rights and femal
suffrage.
Observation-Disclosures, Nov.
: Seven hundred and fifty of the lar,
est towns and cities, including Mi
s waukee, show net Democratic gal
l. of 100 over the vote of 1865, whe

GOOD IDEA.-The Pope has address
sed letter to the Roman Catholic
Bishops throughout the world, calling
upon them to pray for the Holy See.
This is a good idea. We don't know
of any person on earth that needs
praying for more than the pope-the
veritable anti.christ. If Garribaldi
gets hold of him all the prayers of
all the bishops in the universe wont
save his throne, erected as it US upon
the bones of a vast army Of christian
martyrs and cemented with the blood
and tears of saints through centuries
of persecution. Down with the pope
is the battle cry of Italy's patriots
and it should be the watchword of
every follower of Christ. The centu
ry that witnesses the downfall of hu
man servitude in the new world shOulC
see the soul unfettered from its gross
superstitions in the old.

BUTTER FACTORIES. The success
of chees factories from the outset,
soon suggested the expediency of
similar factories for the manufacture
of butter. 1t appears from the dis
cussions held at the late New York
State Fair at Buffalo, that the expert
ment has been tried, that butter facto-
ries are already established in that
State and that their operation is thor
oughly satisfactory. 1t was stated
by Mr.. Shattuck that two such es-
adjustments bad been erected in his
county, and that they had competed
with some of the best diaries in Chen
ango county, land in every case proved
that 1t is more to the advantage OF
farmers to have their milk worked up
in factories, instead of families, even
where the most perfect process known
is pursued carefully. The average
result of the factory system is far
above the average Of individual but
ter makers, many of whom lose theil
labor and waste their milk. Ii thes.
statements are to be relied on, the,

The CURE OF CATARRH.-Take one
part of finely pulverized saltpetre,
and mix with two parts white sugar
reduced to -four. This is an cfectual
remedy in all stoppages of the head,
catarrh, etc. 1t must be snufed up
the nose a dozen times or more a day,
according to the severity of the Attic
ton. Persons frequently die from
catarrh in the head, the disease be-
comes so bad that the mucus, instead
of discharging through the nose, at it
should do, falls down the throat and
lodges on the lungs, producing many a
sore throat, the origin of which is
not suspected, and terminating fatally
in many instances, in that most dread
ed of all diseases, consumption. The
disease becomes so terrible in some
cases that persons have been unable
even to sleep in a bed-they were com
PEELED to sleep and die in their chairs
The mucus from the head should new
er be allowed to pass down the throat
1t should always pass out at the nos
trils.

Lamoile Valley Railroad Enabling
Act.
81 % to enable the towns therein
named to aid in the construction OF
the Lamoille Valley railroad, having
been returned from the senate, was ia
ken up for consideration.
Mr. Cooper of Canaan renewed his
motion to reconsider the vote passing
the bill.
Mr. Allen of Irasburgh called for
the yeas and nays on the motion to
reconsider.
Mr. Brigham of Hydepark opposed
the motion to reconsider, on the ground
that the bill had been before the
House for about twenty days, and been
deliberately passed, and he thought it
foolish to reconsider for the sole pur-
pose of having members put them
selves on record.
Mr. Rounds of Chester favored the
motion to reconsider, for the reason
that if it was to pass he wished some
of the provisions of it stricken out
such as allowing guardians and trus
tees to subscribe the assent of their
wards-and other provisions ought to
| be modified.
Mr. Herrick Of Brattleboro stated
that in one instance, at least, the clause
in relation to allowing guardians and
trustees to vote for their wards haC
been made the cause of bringing infu
ences to bear upon the probate courr
to have a guardian removed who woe
not give his assent for his ward. anC
new guardian appointed who would
t give such assent. He protested agains
such proceedings, or law that woul(
permit such proceedings.
: Mr. Ross Of St. Johnsbury though
J there was too much stress laid upol
: the matter of the powers of guard
: ans and trustees, for it was simply tn
exercising of the powers that had al
: ways been given them. He could Sc

plete than where some one excellence
is specially predominant. The peace
full, consistent, faithful life of Mrs.
lifting may justly be regarded as
presenting a high type of female ex-
cellence. For many years member
of the Methodist church, and ever
ready to do that which seemed to her
essential to the prosperity of the cause
of Christ, after all her religion was
such as led especially to fidelity and
usefulness in the sphere where God
had placed her. AS a wife and a
mother, friend and a neighbor, she
fulfilled all that those relations de-
mand with unusual patience and char
ity. Her piety was lived and exem-
plifed rather than protested and
boosted of. AS becometh a christian
influence rather than to assert christ
ian po,cer, and in this lay the secret
of her success.
Her bereaved husband and children
and the whole circle of her relatives,
friends and neighbors will long feel
their loss in her death, and they can
not fail long to feel the effect of her
influence upon them. May the re-
membrance of the past, the experience
of the present, and the hopes Of the
future all unite in aiding them to OBJ
tain those blessed results which it il
the ministry of sorrow to effect
Thus realizing the influence of he
life will they all rightly honor her wh'
has exchanged this mortal state 70
one whose glory is amending. Thu
profting by her examples shall it b
true that, cher children arise up, an
call her blessed; her husband alst
and he praiseth her."
