day we had the most orderly election ever
known to be held in the 9TH District
Only one case of drunkenness, and that
unfortunate individual insisted on declar.
ing himself a Democrat. For the sake of
the partys reputation we tried to silence
him, but he would not heed our caution,
and waxed louder in the boast.
Sunday School Conrention.-The NJ. E.

bath elected Mr. Jesse West and Miss

The Bridges again The filling up and
grading between and at each end of the
new bridges is finished, and they have
become the thoroughfare for all travel in
that direction. On Thursday the Commits
sioners expressed their eutire satisfaction
with the work to Mr.. l.. w. Finley, the
gentemanly Agent. The structures were
tested by heavy teams of nine or ten tons,
which made no more impression on them
than the weight of a single horse. 1t is
our Judgment no other bridge will be built
where the Moseley wrought iron pattern
is known. They are beautiful, substantial
and economical.
Seriously Burned.-George II. Reedcr,
an employee in Mccullough & Co.'S Rolling
Mills, was very seriously burned ON his
face, breast and right arm, by flash from
Il pudding ball, as it was passing between
the rolls. The red-hot iron pierced right
through his clothing.
