Nlh1lNIA lON.-1ho clcCllol
in Virginia city yesterday was a quiet
affair, neither party appearing to take
much interest in the matter. When
we left there at 3:45 p. H., the Repub-
licans conceded the election of Currie
(Democrat) for Mayor by a consider
able majority. The principal fight
appeared to be for the offices of Chiet
OF Police and City Assessor. Both
parties claimed the Chief, but, in
opinion, the chances were largely in
favor of John Mulcahy, Democratic
nominee. The odds also appeared to
be in favor of J. G. Snider, Democrat,
for Assessor. For Aldermen, the First
Ward was close and doubtful; Second
Ward, probably Republican; Third
and Fourth Wards, probably Demo-
cratic. We guess the result will be
somewhat thus: Democrats elect
Mayor, Chief of Police, Assessor,
Treasurer (alI the general of1icers),
and two if not three of the four Alder
men. The Republicans will elect the
other Alderman.
ANCIENT MEDAL.-A gentleman
from Dayton yesterday left at our office
a silver medal found in the ceiling of
an old house which was recently torn
down in that town. One side Of the
medal is well preserved, having on it
the face of George H., encircled by the
words "GeOrgivs II. Del Gratia.' The
reverse side Is we'll worn. most OF the
lettering being illegible; but, from
faint outlines, we infer the ~folloWing:
a representation of William Penn sit
ting under a tree talking with an In
dian chief, the latter having his right
hand raised in a manner indicating
an animated but sup%plicating appeal,
while along the margin is the words:
LET Us join TO the Most High, who
blessed our atners with Peace The
medal is III years old, being dated
I757.
LUsH.-The restraining influence of
hit to business ii not to societv-in
this. that it keeps men sober during
week days so that they can attend to
business, and limits them to the
leisure hours of sunday for recreation
i'll the way of drinking. so tina no
detrimeut l. worked to their industrial
pursuits. Two Good Templars were
reported on a~''rousing drunk SUI
day, and late in the afternoon we saw
Constable Hodgkinson e>corting one
of the cold wafer gentlemen toward
the lookup. In the altered language
OF "Cum-plum- gum

Before the farmer mow> NJ"
We like to see Il Templar drink,
For when he goes ne goes it,"
