ELECTION NEWS!
A Quiet Time I'm Cedar County,
- but q Good Report.
The Republican Majority Larger
than Ever in Proportion to the
Votes Cast.

From the fact that the result Of cleo
tion In this county was considered fore
rome. and the absence Of any exciting
local question, the greatest apathy ha
prevailed throughput the campaign, un
lust before the election, when iitti'
scare sliced upon some Republicans
and they fell to prophesying:great reduc'
lions and possible defeat. But from Oh
tho returns 81 far received We are led to
believe In but small dimunition In the
total majority, and an actual gain in
! pasrpetlon - the number Of votes poll
-.
(,eotse Tovaship, returned in detail
elsewhere, gives Republican majority
on the State ticket of III, against l1
last fall, while the total vote cast falls
>off 245.
Red Oak Township returns 81 Repub-
'i,can votes and SO Democratic-a gain
Of 6. as it went Democratic in 1861
shearer and Wamplcr run ahead OF
their respective tickets.
DAYTON on the State ticket goes l6l
Republican and AS Democratic, with
very little variation In County or
Township. Last fall, the majority In
Dayton was lso, with . total vote OF
as.
Fairfield gives two Republican ma
jority on the State ticket, with Wam-
pier slightIy ahead of his ticket, and a
Tie between Pound and Hagerty for Up
clerk.
Sugar Creek cast 81 Republican votes
and % Democratic. No particulars.
In Pennington, the Republicans poll
ed lO6 ballots to 10 Democratic. Their
majority in 1868 was lo4.
Inland township reports 60 Republic
can, aud I Democratic.
The several townships heard from
give total Republican majority OF 4l6;
and the ten that are yet to report will
raise this to most respectable figures.

The Davenport papers for several
days have been giving the testimony
developed by lengthy inquest, conse-
quent upoA finding the dead body of f.
Ehrig, a well known German citizen of
that city, in cistern. The head Of the
deceased showed severe blow, and
there were Commissions on various parts
of the body. Grave suspicious Of foul
play were awakened; but as yet, no
clue has been obtained by which to un-
ravel the mystery that hides the man
ner and cause Of his death. s p
After a sitting of several days, the
following verdict was returned by the
Coroner's jury:
Aninquisition holden at Davenport, in
Scott county, on the sth to the 10Th day
of October, A. d. 1869, before J. J.
Tomson, Coroner Of said county, upon
the body Of Fritz w. Ehrig, there lying
dead. by the jurors whose names are
hereunto subscribed. The said jurors,
upon their oath, do say from the evil
dence, that Mr.. Ehring came to his
death by the hands Of some person or
persons to us unknown, in what precise
manner or locality We are unable to say:
and that after being murdered, his body
was placed in the cistern where found.
for the purpose Of cOncealment.
To this the Gazette adds, "NOtwith-
standing this verdict the cruel murder
is as great mystery as ever. Not q
trace Of blood or any Of the other usual
evidences of murder has been discover
cd. The place Of assault is not known,
nor is there the least evidence, which
has been divulged, that can lead to the
detection of the murderers."

RANGE OF THE HUMAN EYE.-The
range of the human eye may be judged
Of from . consideration which gives
US at the same time good idea Of the
scope of animal structure. Supposing
that an individual Of every known spe-
cies were to take its stand between the
two species that were respectively the
next smaller and the next larger than
itself, the smallest known animal at one
extremity Of the line and, the next larg-
est standing at the other; aud then sup
posing we were to ask which creature
occupied the middle place, having as
many degrees of size below 1t as above,
and as many above 1t as below, that
place would DO found to be occupied by
the common house fiy.-What stu-

AS the routes of communication get
opened, fresh details of the damage done
by the great flood pour in, and we are
still compelled to give up large part Of
our space to them. The disasters are
more numerous and widespread than at

person in all western and central New
England that has not been put to loss or
serious inconvenience by the storm. 1t
is rare, indeed, that our farmers suffer
SO generally and 50 severely from any
cause. The profits Of agriculture, If not
very large, are reckoned as pretty GER

farmers have seen all this years profits,
