Senator Wade. the President Of the Senate
has received the records of the ELECTORAL votes
of all the States which voted for Presidential the
November election, except three-California
Oregon and Nevada. The electoral messenger
from California died on the Isthmus while en-
route to Washington, but previouSto his decease
he gave power of attorney to person to bear
the records to Washington, but it is said that
no such transfer of authority is valid, and that
new messenger must be chosen by the elec
Tors in California. The messenger from Ore
gon is on his way, but is temporarily delayed
by the snow, and the suspension Of travel. The
Nevada messenger has started for the Capital
but has not been heard from.

The transporting Teuton, supposing that it
was all right and not being able to read English,
hung it outside the door. People passing on the
walk saw the sign, turned pale, and hurried to
the other side of the street. Regular customers

with hand on the door-knob, and stole away,

SINGULAR PHENoMENoN.-Last evening, be-
tween and o'clock, most singular phsnome-
non occurred at the Office of the Western Union
Telegraph Company in this city. As one of the
operators, Chas. A. Hammann, Esq, wording
with st. Louis, the lines became charged with
atmospheric electricity to such an extent that he
was compelled to suspend operations-for more
than half an hour; the atmospheric current was
SO strong that the instruments worked without
the aid Of the usual batteries; the switch aboard
was one continuous blaze of light, and electric
sparks few in all directions. An occurrence of
this kind, in the midst of a violent snow.storm,
is q most remarkable freak of nature.
The phenomenon was also observed at all off,
ces between St. Joseph and Kansas City, and to
the east along the Hannibal and St. Joseph
Railroad.

some civilized country, so that his
discoveries would be known. Other
navigators in similar situations have
sealed their accounts in bottles and
threw them overheard with the same
view.
In the forest covered region of our
own and other countries, travellers cut
notches, or strip pieces of bark OFF
trees, III order that others may be able
to follow them, and that they them
selves may be able to return.
There are no trees on the upland
prairies of Nebraska, consequently
the Governor could not mark the road
by cutting nOtches in trees, and so,
with that remarkable genius, for
which he is celebrated, he conceived
the happy idea of taking along a num-
Der of empty bottles, and made land
marks Of them, that others might fol-
low to the city in the wilderness, and
that they all might safely return.
This accounts in part for the extra
expenses Of the Governor.

do justice to the State Officers Of the
State of Nebraska. III have failed,
