Nett result, Republicans, ID; Democrats, q
contested /. This computation will prove, we
think exact. The Philadelphia Press, this morn
ing says:-
"Hon. Ulysses Mercur has been reelected in
the Thirteenth district by n reduced majority.
Mr.. Morrell, in tho Seventeenth has been de-
fcated by eleven votes, but the discovery OF
Democratic frauds in Blair county will undoubt.-
cdly overcome this meagre majority. Official
returns from all bnt Fulton county, in the Six
teeuthidistrict, re-elect Hon. John Cessna by
hare majority of seven. The Twenteth district
las undoubtedly been carried by the Democracy,
as have also the Twenty-tirst and the Twenty
fourth. Hon. William H. Armstrong. Hepubli-
can, is undoubtedly elected in the Eighteenth
district by majority Of some hundreds. Hon.
Henry D. Foster has majority OF 734 IN the
Twenty first district"
presuming that Mr.. Morroll will get his seat,
upon showing of his right to it, the delegation
from Pennsylvania will stand, in the Forty
Second Congress, 16 Republicans to Democrats
again of two for the latter. Ohio stands the
same as in the present Congress-, and Indiana
probably gains one for the Democrats, making
the delegation from the five States voting on the
18th stand, Republicans, 43; Democrats, 1s.
This is quite as good as any Republican hoped,
before the election, and better than many an
ticpated. The Democrats claimed gain OF ID,
and have barely received g.

WHICH WAY THE WIND BLEW.

/.
The wind came up, the wind came down,
And over the garden wall;
Why should pretty maiden frown
Ita lover choose to call?
The rufiled roses bowed their heads
In a shower Of fragrant dew;
But under the skies you couldn't surmise
Which way the sweet wind blew.
It's hey, for tossing buds and leaves
When the winds Of morning blow!
Tell us how long lover grieves
When maiden answers-No!
For another step was at the gate,
And the hearts that met were true;
BY many sign you could divine
Whcih way the sweet wind blew!

by the snperabundant crop of apples. barrel
OF the best can be had near Boston for fifty
cents. In New Hampshire five cents bushel is
said to be the current price. Connecticut is
selling at rates almost as low. In order to turn
this great crop to the best advantage, steam
cider mills have been put in operation, and cider
is being manufactured in unparalleled quantities.
SO news item says. We ehope, then, to have
a cheap and abundant apple supply this winter.

AMERICAN COMMERCE REvIvrNG.

The reports of the Bureau OF statistics, nj
Washington for the month of July, show that
the foreign commerce, into and out of our Ame-
rcan ports is steadily being transferred to Ameri-
can vessels. For the seven months ending July
81, 1870, the Imports receiced in American sttps
were valued at s10l, $50, ,64s, while for the cor
responding seven months, ending July 81, 1859,
they were but S9l ,6s5,5s7, showing gain oil
nearly ten millions. 50, also, the quantities
received in foreign vessels correspondinsly fell

27s,171, while, this year, they fell to 1886, 49,
