The returns from the election arc too mcagre
at this hour to afford basis for calculation.
1t is generally conceded that in this county
(Hamiton) the Democrats have carried the
Legislative part of the county ticket. Noyes,
(Republican) for Governor. carries the county
by reduced majority. Owing to the great
amount Of scratching returns come in slowly
The vote in the State is light.
The returns at hand show moro Republican
than Democratic gains The Democracy have
probably lost Senator in the Belmont district
and failed to carry the Montgomery district
The State has gone Republican by reduc-
cd majority on State officers.

INVENTIONS OF BLIND MAN.-There ar
rived in the city, on the South-Si mail train,
on yesterday, poor old man, totally blind,
who has, notwithstanding that sad infrmity,
invented two useful articles Of mechanism.
The name of the blind inventor is Robert {.
Owen, resident of Prince Edward county,
and now sixty years DID, One of his designs is
a new and improved washing machine, which
a number of prominent citizens of the county
testify to be valuable abor-saving machine,
even as exhibited by rough and imperfect
model. Mr.. Owen has invented also, 4 contrl-
vance which enables the blind to write with
ease, following straight parallel lines, and stop
ping and starting ad libitum. y somewhat
similar contrivance was designed and used, we
believe, by the blind historian Prescott. These
inventions betray remarkable intelligence on
the part of u sightless, inirm, and impover
ishcd man, over sixty years of age.-RterS-
