ST. ALBANs, March 2l.-Strangers continue
to arrive in our village, and excitement is on
the increase. There can be no doubt that O

at an early day. Massachusetts, and New
Hampshire men are unusually thick in most
towns upon the Canada border in this State
though they appear to exercise much eau
ton and do not congregate in large numbers
at any one point. British spies are watching
their movements, and should they cross the

THE KANSAS INDIAN REsERvArIoNs.-It is
contemplated by the Indian Bureau to tele-
graph instructions to the authorities of
Kansas 10 take such measures as will pre-
vent parties from moving on and occupying
the Indian reservation lands in that State,
which have been coded to the United States
by recent treaties entered into with the
Kansas Indian tribes. The treaties have
not as yet been ratified, and it is possible
may not be. The lands are at present still
occupied by the Indians, who are becoming
incensed at the action of the whites in taking
possession of their lands before they have
even commenced to remove to the Indian
Territory, as agreed to in the treaties recently
entered into with the Government II Is
thought that unless immediate steps are
taken to stop settlers from moving into these
reservations that trouble will be occasioned

department The interest which usually
centers upon sewing machines was not
wanting. 1t was intensified doubtless by
the angry (and not altogether reputable,)
dispute which has arisen over the "med-
ais" said to have been awarded at the Par
is Exposition. But these medals counted
for nothing, for the judges insisted upon
thorough examination for themselves, OF
the several machines in competition, and
the result was unanimous report award
ing the highest prize to the exhibitors OF

machine also for the best button-hole ma
chine. A clean sweep and righteous
Judgment, cay those WHO are bestinformed.
1t was suggested by many who saw the

the work they performed, that the manu-
facturers were remiss in not sending them
to the Paris exposition, and thus have OBJ

carried on over the gold medal. But the

one hundred and fifty volumes of choice
books. lis magazines are Beadle's, Allan

is furnished by the Association, as it now
receives large number of the leading dai-
ly and weekly newspapers from all parts
of the country. At each regular meeting
discussions are had, which are not only Of
interest, but are of great benefit Fto our
young men, who may avail themselves of
this opportunity to study and learn. The
Association extends to all an earnest invi-

is lighted and warmed every Wednesday
evening at half past seven o'clock, and will

can be found in the place than the court
room, where the young men can congre-
gate, read and discuss together the great
questions of the day. Let all attend next

The Vote by Counties.

The following table gives the full vote
as officially canvassed, of every county in
the state except Ashland, and in this the
official ..majorsty is given. 1t also gives
the full vote in the same counties in 1860.
AS compared with the vote of 1865, it will
be seen that 81, ,347 more votes were cast
this year than two years ago. VI these
votes, the Republicans have increased their
vote 1886, and the Democrats have in
creased their vote 20,sll, being 4,27s larg-
er increase than that of the Republicans.
The majority for Fairchild, as shown in
the table, is 4,752. Two years ago his
majority was 9,o2T. A curious fact is
here noted. The increase of The Demo
cratic-votc added to the Republican ma
iority, makes just 9 9,o27, the exact Repub-
lican majority two years ago. We can say
the same in regard to the vote in the state
that we said about the vote in this county.
It shows no change of sentiment in the
people. 1t only shows that the Demo-
Gratis have been more successful in getting
their voters out, than the Republicans
The Democrats were enthusiastic and
hopeful, being much elated by their sue
cess IN Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York
The Republicans were apathetic and conf
dent. They did not realize the Importance
or danger of a defeat, and consequently
were somewhat surprised at the natural
result. The result admonishes us to arouse
ourselves, and prepare for November, ] S6s.
