test; a glorious success has been
achieved; Grant and Colfax have re-
ceiyed greater majority than the most
sangnine anticipated, it footing up
48 majority over Seymour and Blair
With qualification and pleasure we an
nounce the fact that our citizens have
thus acted with wisdom and patriotism
in choosing peace and prosperity, in
preference to revolution and discord.
Four pages have been turned in our
country's history red with nations
blood and scared with nations tears :.
almost four more have been turned that
were dark and gloomy through the eff
feminacy of weak and corrupt .Ad-
ministration; but now may we look
forward to the dawn of brighter day,
and the leaves that are now closed by
the great seal of futurity, as they are
turned, may their pages be giIded by the
sun of prosperity.
Every man on our State and county
tickets has been elected but our County
Surveyor, and he could have been had
he desired it. In voting for Senator and
Representative the citizens of this place
and vicinity have very sensibly taken
into consideration local interests, and
totally ignored party animosities and
MISUNDERSTANDING to the dictates of
human nature-took financial interests
into consideration, resulting in DEM
ocrats and Republicans giving their un-
divided support to Mr.. Mead and Mr..
Wilson,
Mr.. ID. NJ. Bronson has been elected
County Attorney by handsome ma
jority-he having occupied that position
the past year. He designs soon estab-
| fishing a real estate Office here, as this
seems to be quite desirable point for
the pursuance of that business
We have been having protracted
meeting here which has resulted in the
conversion of quite number and much
good being effected generally, and the
time is not far distant when several
churches will be organized, which is
very desirable to establish good name
abroad and morality at home. But ]
had almost forgotten to relate the ro-
mantle manner in which the meeting
closed. One of the clergymen actually
perpetrated matrimOny and carried of
a lady of our vicinity, but before going
he was favored with all old fashioned
serenade. Several salutes were fired
and some ladies not knowing what hat
occurred supposed the Indians had at
tackled us, and fed with the creates
dispatch to the woods, where they wer,
found after couple of hours search b,
their friends. We are sorry to reflec
on the morals of our citizens by sayin:
that it was concluded in the most indie
cent manner, some one taking portion
of the gentleman's buggy and secretin;
them, which is discountenanced by al
good citizens.
The clerk of the weather seems to b
on bender to-day, as we are havin
a snow storm, which is quite
variation from the quiet dreamy day
of autumn with which we have bee
, favored. -
immigration is pouring into our coun
ty, both town and country are improvin
fast, and with most desirable class G
people; and in the spring the numbe
will be greatly increased, as many ar
expecting friends. ...t
The successful candidates liberaH
donated funds for an oyster supper
which was prepared at the hotel, and
pleasant affair it proved. Dancing wa
the amusement, it being conducted in
desirable manner till about IL O'Clock
, when we repaired to the dining ROOF
to do justice to the oysters, which woul
certainly satisfy the most epicurea
> taste.
We have been favored with n visi

Morris county, which confirmed our be
lief that the people of that county hav
