vote of Carter county on the constitutional
question, Immediately after election.
This promise could not comply with
owing to highwater. The Commissioner
did not have the full returns ON the 31st
March, lacking one district. l suppose
you have his report; if not, the vote for
the old Constitution will be about $50, and
for the new about 40 or $50.
A word about the county election and
the two political parties. Ia 1867 the Con-
sentative candidate for Representative,
Zone of the best citizens of the county,
having been a member several times be-
fore, received only fifty-five or sixty votes,
that being the Conservative strength at
that time. On the 26th March, 1870, in a
single-handed race between one of the most
popular Radicals in the county and Con-
sentative, in which the question was
pressed to its utmost extent, the Conserv.
alive was elected by a majority of lis
votes. Also in the election for Revenue
Collector in which there were four candi-
dates, the Conservative was elected by a
| majority of over 200 votes. These items
show what Carter county thinks of recon

There was an extensive and varied as

Yeatman & Shields, in the Porter Block

frames, some of which were finely finished
and gilded. The attendance was quite
large in the morning, and the bidding fol

This delightful occupation, which is real
ly among the female fine arts, has been the
order of the day with our fair lady friends
during the pleasant sunny days we have
had Our streets and stores have been
thronged with the beauty and loneliness Of
the city. Glowing eyes have scanned ele-

toyed with delicate laces, and blooming
cheeks become animated at the rich dis

chants afford Few things are more pleas
ingly charming than this shopping exercise
on the part of the ladies.

Nothing further has been heard from the

to her relief this noon, and the probabilities
are that she will be saved without much

FOUR LOST MEN.
The City of Mysterious Disappears

/ ances.
| A Poughkeepsie letter to the New York
Herald, dated March 29, says: -Four
well known persons have mysteriously
disappeared from this city within a little
over months time, and the people are
just commencing to wake up in relation
to the matter.
THE FIRST
was man named James Jaycox. On the
afternoon or the 22d of February he came
here from New Hamburg, having on his
person 81, 900 in greenbacks. He was put
to bed at the Forbes house in an intoxi-
Gated condition by young man named
Luckey. After remaining in bed short
time, he got up and went out and at P.
NJ. was seen standing in front of grocery
store by officer Shields. Shortly after Q
?. M, he put in an appearance at the
ticket office at the depot, and asked Dir.
White, the ticket agent, for a ticket for
New Hamburg, intending to take passage
on the milk train. 81 rG fg-
The ticket agent informed him that the
train was gone, when he walked away
from the window, and, leaving the depot,
has not been seen since. He is thirty
three years of age, five feet ten inches in
height, and weighs about $50 pounds.
He wore red whiskers and red mustaehe,
was attired in blue coat and nearly black
pantaloons, and wore cap. His brother,
Mr.. Thomas Jaycox, offers a reward of
$500 for information of his whereabouts,
dead or alive. He is confident that he
has met with foul play in this city. He
was man who seldom visited any place
except POughkeepsie.
THE SECOND MAN
in an unaccountable man
ner was an old resident named Abraham
Stockholm. He resided in Crandell street.
He left his home on the night of the 18th
of March, going out after supper, saying
he would not be gone long. Up to this
time he has not returned, nor is there a
man in this city who can say he saw him
outside of his house that night after dark.
1t is thought he has committed suicide.
THE THIRD MISSING PERSON
Is young married man, twenty-three
years Of age, named Matthew Colwel.
He was farmer. He came in town a
week ago with fifty dollars worth of
eggs, and sold them. He was last seen
about dusk of the same day entering the
fremont House, near the railroad depot,
since which time no trace of him can be
found. These mysterious disappearances,
coming so quickly in succession, have ex-
cited great deal of anxiety, and the |
people are beginning to ask questions of
serious import, and although one would |
suppose the authorities would move in
the matter, they, on the contrary, seem
to take no notice of the matter whatever |
1t is confidently believed that two of the |
missing men have been murdered.
THE FOURTH AND LAST
Of these terrible mysteries is Just re-
ported, and has renewed the excitement
with great intensity. The present mys-
terry involves the whereabouts of man
named James Lynasen, of whom no in
formation can be obtained.

A GOOD YARN.

Once upon a time there lived among
the hills of an adjoining county an old
gentleman, whose entire personal and real
estate consisted of a wife, q well Venti-
lated log cabin, half an acre of not very
productive land, and violent fondness
for what is sometimes called ''tangle-leg
whiskey.n One spring morning the owner
of all this property was struck with the
conviction that his land must be plowed.
But he had no horse and found it impos-
sible to borrow one. Nevertheless,
the ground must ''be broke up" horse
or no horse, and it was finally de-
termined that the cold woman"
should hitch up the old man, and hold the
handles and drive, while he drew the
pillow. This was accordingly done, and
the pillow went bravely on, until the plow-
share ran under root, and the team was
brought to dead halt. But the "critter
had become warmed up by this time, and
as the old lady gave him a rap with the
reins and cried ''git up there!" he threw
his weight upon the harness with heavy
jerk, which snapped the traces short OIL,
and he shot forward against the fence,
his head striking the end of arail with the
force of a maui. ''ThunderatiOn, old
woman ~ he exclaimed, as he wiped the
blood and dirt from his eyes, "why in the
devil didn't you say aC-b-O-d ?'
