REcoUSTiNG a VOTES.
The recount OF the election returns,
and the cepjectures as to who would be
counted in and who counted out, has
had its run. Selby holds his own, with
80 more votes to strengthen him, while
the rest of the candidates received afew
moro or less, but the returns rs first re-
ported have suffered but little change.
A good story is told that occurred at
one Of the precincts in this city during
the counting Of the ballots. don't
youch for its truth, but give it to you
as I heard it. 1t appears that o clerk
appointed by one Of the candidates to
keep tally of the votes cast for him,
noticed that the judge who opened the
ballots had a peculiar knack OF running
his finger mp and down the ballot that
contained the name of his employer,
and if the name happened 10 have q
paster over it, would artistlcally rub 1t
of. He called the attention Of n friend,
aud they both watched him for a while.
The Judge kept right along and rubbed
of pastors with a diligence worthy OF a
better cause. Finally the clerk tapped
him on the shoulder and remarked,
"Here, sir, do you think this is fair ~
"well, ah-ah-if you don't think so
rIl-I1l STOP" was the answer and
as I feel uuwell I'll 60 home, and you
needn't make any fuss about II, for l
won't come back" The GOODNESS ofthe
reply took the clerk aback, and before
he could get orer his astouishment tho
Judge had vanished. As his employer
came out ahead, the matter was not
pushed for Investigation. Levi Rosen-
err, brother of Sam Rosener of Virginia

majority as Assessor. Sam has become
quite a wirepullef, and when he comes
back may learn you some new wrinkles
in politics.

burlesque "%Ivanhoe," Monday night,
with new scenery, new costumes, etc.,
as per programme. One little accident
married the play for that night, that was
not set down in the bills. Mr.. Ellerton,
the comedian Of the company, WAS cast

EQUITABLE reason Mr.. E. failed to put in
an appearance, and young Hinckley was
called upon to read the part. Whether
Hiuckley's eyes were weak, or the gas
dim, or the manuscript poorly written,
/ cannot say, but the fact was tina,
Hiuckley would lose the place, and the
play would stop. The Holt would take
a wriggle over 10 his side, end the place
for him and give him a fresh start, wrig'
gle back to her place, and the show
would 60 on for q while till Hinekley
struck another kink, when the BLONDE
would wriggle over again aud give him
another start. The play was advertised
