From Connecticut.

Hartford, Ct, April 10. An evident error
has been discovered in the returns of votes
from the fourth ward of New Haven, by which
100 more votes were returned for Gov. Eng
lish than should have been. One hundred
more votes were returned than were checked
on the list, and the Democratic State ticket
was declared TO have received one hundred
more votes than the Democratic representa-
tive ticket, while the Republican State and
representative tickets were about equal. The
matter will probably be fully investigated by
the Legislature to determine whether there
was mistake or a fraudulent count of votes.
If either is discovered. the result will give the
election to Jewell.

large for person so young and quite mascu-
line in her appearance. 1t was at first de-
signed by the complainant to make the charge
of rape, but the officer serving the writ saw
at once that the charge could not be sustained
by the evidence, and it was changed to adul-
terry. Lint came up from Gardiner on the
five o'clock dummy Saturday afternoon, and
the crime was committed near the barn Of
Capt Cooper, about one half mile westerly
from Water street.
After the testimony Of the girl, Judge Gil
man said that this was one of those aggravated
cases the decision of which was not within the
jurisdiction of the municipal court, and he
therefore ordered the prisoner to find sureties
in the sum of $500 for his appearance at the

A Saratoga correspondent writes the
following: Lizzie A. and Gertie b. two
of the most beautiful girls of the year,
fixed their hopes on Henry d., from New
York. One afternoon Miss Lizzie and
the young gentleman walked through the
park after an extended stroll, during
which much ove.making went on, and
while passing through the halls of the
Grand Union the lady suddenly tottered
and fell fainting into the arms Of her at
tendant. 1t was bold strike, and vic
tory for moment seemed fastened
there Gertie soon heard of this, and
her fertile mind grew tired with schem-
ing. At last a smile grew upon her face.
She owns the incest pony pheton in Sara
toga, and the next day she invited the
gentleman to ride. He accepted and
met his fate. The well-trained horse was
quietly going on his way, when suddenly
the wheel came off, and the pretty Gertie
lay fainting on the hard road The ter
rifed Henry lifted her in his arms and
bore her to convenient farmhouse.
For two days she refused to recover from
the shock. On the third day the re-
morseless Henry, who was constantly
with her, could stand it no longer. He
surrendered; she recovered, and soon
there is to be wedding in high life.
Now comes the touch Of nature Miss
Lizzie forgot her loss in admiration Of
the grand coup d etdt, and has already
congratulated her. rival upon her brill
liant victory. h- \
