Before the charter was obtained, it
was with extreme difficulty that our

numbers crowded up, anxious to

The last news from Italy gives a
dark picture of the fortunes of the
Garibaldians. On Sunday morning
the 4th INST, early in the day, the
Pontifcal troops supported by the
French, attacked Garibaldi's forces
at Monte Rotondo and after severe
fight, in which 5000 of the Garibal-
dians were killed, wounded, or taken
prisoners, their heroic chief surren-
ed. Garibaldi and his son Menotti
are now prisoners of war. at Florence.
A reinforcement of 1890 insur.
gents were marching to the relief of
Garibaldi, bat came too lato and
were disarmed and turned back.
Great agitation and excitement
prevails in Italy.
Thus, for the time being, are the
hopes and aspirations of Garlbaldi
again crushed.

The November Election.

1t is impossible at this time to give
anything like an accurate account OF
the elections in Massachusetts, New
York. New Jersey, Wisconsin, Kan
sas and Minnesota, but the matter
stands about as follows:
Gov. Bullock is reelected in Mas.
sachusetts, by a majority of $4,000.
This, too, in spite OF the heavyprohib
itionary load carried by the Repub-
licans. The Legislature is also
strongly Republican in both branch
es. New York has probably gone
Democratic. The city gave Cop.
majority of $4,000, which will be diff
ficult to overcome In the rural dis
tricts. -
The Democrats elected Legisla-
ure to suit themselves in New Jersey.
Wisconsin, as usual, is all right
with a good Union majority.
The Constitutional Amendment is
probably defeated in Kansas. Fur
ther returns may change the face of.
Affairs.
Minnesota strongly Republican.
The Cook Co. (Chicago) election,
though hotly contested, by indepen-
dent candidates and every other
means known to the Democracy, re-
suited in the choice of the Republi-
can candidate by handsome major
ity of 5000.
Wish New York was all right, we'd
bring out our chanticleer.

The latest election news from New

The Ottawa County Union thus
notices the grape culture in that
county: Few except those direct
ly interested have an idea Of the
extent to which grape culture is
carried in little Ottawa. The Pen
insula and the islands belonging to
this county constitute the best
grape country in the United
States. Grapes are grown in great
quantities in several of the town
ships of this county, but in Cataw.
ba Island, Danbury, Portage and
Putin bay the vineyards are the
largest. and the culture of the grape
is carried on most extensively. AS
an illustration of the progress that
grape growing has made in this
county in eight years, we give the
following statistics from one town.
ship, furnished by friend. In
Catawba Island Township of this
county the number of acres set in
grapes this year is 4293; showing
that the people there are investing
more largely than ever in the grape
crop. Of this number 1993 acres
are bearing at present-that amount
of land being covered with tull
grown fourishing vineyards, the
yield of which, this season
promises to be immense. We have
not the figures from the other
townships or we might be eble to
give an idea of the extent of grape
culture in this county. All this
progress has been made within a
few seasons. Eight years ago the
9Th of June, Ira S. butcher. Esq.
set the first grapes for field cul-
ture in Catawba Island; and since
that time, as a result of that first
experiment, grape culture has
reached its present Importance in
that township. With regard to the
grape crop throughout the county
all statements at present concur
that the prospect for a splendid
yield was never more fattering.
The vines are 80 heavily loaded
that wholesale pruning has to. be
resorted to. Ottawa county this
fall will beat the world on grapes.
We can defy any other section of
the country with the same num-
Dor of acres planted, to beat US
either in quantity or quality OF the
fruit of the vine.
