PIONEER TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR.
sHIP.-The mooted question a. TO who
was elected Supervisor from Pionee,
Township is at last settled. The candi.
dates. it will be remembered, were w.
II. Sharp and J. +. Rice, and the returns
showed the former to have been elected
by q majority Of m Rice contested
upon the ground that m Rodgers, who
voted for Sharp, lived without the town
ship. The matter was ~adjudicated, 3.
few days since, before ]. c.. Belts, Co.
Judge, and two assistants Or associate
judges, II of them being chosen by
each Of the partics-Wm. Elliott by
Rice and Mr.. Downing by Shasp. A
majority Of the Court thus formed de.
cided to admit the vote Of Rodgers,
whose house was directly on the Town
ship line; and to exclude the ballots OF
two voters for Rice who lived within
the corporation of Mcchanicsville, but
outside the line Of Pioneer Township,
thus giving the election to shsfp by a
majority Of three.
THE HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION on
Wednesday evening of last week was
well a~ttended-too well, indeed; aud we
can not say any thing about the pleas
ant portion Of the Exhibition until we
got rid Of some of our wicked feelings
towards the ILL mannered rowdies who
continually disturbed the proceedings,
and the Wooden authorities who per-
mitted them to do SO. If a crowd OF
half-drunkcn, or entirely sobvr, Loys
and young men are to be allowed to talk,

upon other occasions, unpublished and
unrebuked, Upton had better surrender
her charter, invite back the beer saloons,
and cease making p%retentions of munic-
ipal government. Such things are not
only a shame to tho rufians who per
petrate them but also a shame to the
sober law abiding citizens who permit
them because the latter class are quite
able to govern if they would but take
the trouble to assert the ir power. So

The performance as a whole, was in

many parts of it were really deserving

programme of the preceding evening,
was vigorously applauded, and even
called for again. The tableaux were
well selected, and probably we'll IKE
cuted; but the curtain was SO quickly
drawn in most instances that we were
unable to decide-this was probably
owing to the noise in the gallery. In
dialogues, the great difficulty was to
hear what vas said, but there was such
a noise in the room that we are unable
to say that any n did not speak loud
enough. Some Of the performers were

backs to the audience, but one could not
blame them for showing their d~isappro-

We should like to hear it again under
circumstances Of q little less noise, and
would then hope to know something
