New Hampshire.

Returns from all the counties of New
Hampshire, give Hartman, Republican
for Governor, 3,087 majority over Sin
clair, Democrat. At this the Democracy
affect to sneer, and pretend that they see
nothing in it for Republicans to rejoice
over. In fact, they are right in one re-
spect; for Republicans arc SO used to
victories that rejoicing has got to be an
old song But so long as the Democrats
can raise a huzzah over such victories as
that gained in Pennsylvania last fall.
when, with 10000 votes remaining at
home, and over a thousand fraudulent
naturalization papers issued in one Demo
cratic county In the State, they elected
their candidate by less than a thousand
majority, we think Republicans can af.
ford'to be little jubilant over majority
of 3,087, in State, which, before the
election was certain to go against them.
on the largest vote ever polled in the
State. The fact was clearly demonstrated
that New Hampshire is sure for the
Union, which, of itself, is something to
rejoice over.

The value of pure Wine in Sickness

The chief difficulty with reliable wines
has been their scarcity and exorbitant
price, but this has been removed by the
introduction of pure native wine, pre-.

sey. We understand he has submitted
his wine to the test of many of our eel
brated physicians, aud all concur in its
purity, medicinal properties, and supe

Railroad Accident.

On Saturday night, as the coal train,
which leaves the Gap about II o'clock,
was passing over the fats, about quarter
of mile above the station, the embank-
ment gave way, and the Locomotive, Ten
der, and some of the coal cars, with the
Engineer and Firemen, were tumbled
into the water rather promisculously
Fortunately no one was seriously hurt. One
brakesman had a rib or two broken, but
We believe is doing we'll The accident
was owing to the ice in the Cap, which
had formed so complete dam in the
river, that the water backed up and sur
rounded and undermined the railroad
On Sunday the Company, with a full
force, were laboring to get things righted,
that the trains might run as usual on
Monday. The ice opening in the Gap,
in the afternoon, lowered the water suffi-
ciently to enable them to take out the
wreck and put up trcstle work, over
which trains passed safely. on Monday
afternoon. The opening of the Gap this
Spring was of unusual interest, and was
witnessed by number of citizens of
Stroudsburg, as we'll as crowds Of nearer
neighbors. Quite good deal of lumber
could be seen going down with the ice,
and We learn the loss to lumber dealers
above is very heavy.
