business dull.
The High School under the supervi-
sion of Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler, closed last
week Friday with a very satisfactory ex-
animation. Commendatory speeches were
made by Rev. Messrs. Field, Goodnow,
and Gaylord. Mr.. Gaylord adding few
pleasant words for the progress and en-.
reimbursement of woman after which a
beautiful copy of the Sacred Scriptures
was presented TO the teachers by Misses
Clara Barnard and Cora Field in behalf of
the school, with a pretty little speech from
Miss Barnard. Mr.. Wheeler, though taken
by surprise, responded very happily and
gratefully for the elegant token of love
and esteem. They are excellent teachers
Of books, manners and morals. II is hoped,
for the good of the rising generation, that
they will continue to spend their autumns
in Wilmington.
The lecture by Rev. Mr.. Davenport,
last Sunday evening, upon "Great Results
from Small Means" was most earnest
aud brilliant effort, showing how much can
be done by the most lowly, with energy,
perseverance and action, combined with a
firm trust and reliance upon God. The
subject was handled in u mastery way
and must be conducive of much good to
the large audience present. Next sabbath
evening Rev. Mr.. Gaylord will lecture up

THE BLRCTIO.N'.

Returns have been received at Montpel-
Ter from every town in the State except
Somerset, giving Grant 4i,474; Greeley,
1892 and O'Conor 500. Grants plurality
over Greeley is 3O,532, and his majority
over Greeley and O'Conor is 29,939. Som
erset will add few votes TO Grants ma
iority. 1t is a remarkable fact that out OF
the two hundred and iorty-one towns in
the State, Grant has majority in two
hundred and thirty-nine and Greeley in
only two. The two Greeley towns, Glasten-
bury and Brunswick, are the smallest in
the State, and have long been intensely
Democratic; so much so that they were
Republican in October, 1861, the per-
iod Of the hottest indignation of the State
against the rebellion. The horse disease
kept thousands of voters at home and re-
duced Grants majority proportionately.
Mr.. Greeley is welcome to his laurels in
Vermont.
Late returns from other States do not
materially alter the result as given last
week, save in the matter of majorities,
though Virginia and Lou isiana change
sides, the former going for Grant by about
5000 majority, and the latter for Greedy by
5000 TO 10000. Texas is conceded to Gree
ley by 10000. Connecticut gives Grant
43jl-about 1900 more than in 1868. Grants
majority in New Hampshire, the vote of
six small towns being estimated, is 1889.
Oregon and West Virginia are still in
doubt.
Grants majority ON the popular vote
will fall little short of 100000, a majority
without precedent in the history of the
country. Allowing Greeley all the doubt
full States, .thelelectoral vote will stand
Grant 2s4; Greeley So.
In the second district the vote in all but
five towns stands: Poland, Rep, 1881,
Pierce, Dem, 1915 Steele and scattering
32l7.

Two of our winter schools commenced
this week. The primary with Miss Stark

r. w. Emerson, our excellent black
smith, was so unfortunate, q few days since,
as to lose hispocket book containing $40
in money and valuable papers. As yet he
gets no trace of them.
"A very fine and imposing brick struc-
ture six feet square at the base, nearly four
feet square at the top, and sixty feet in
height, was completed last week on the pa
per mill site Of Fisk & Hopkins, near the
centre of the village. 1t was designed and
err cted for the purpose of conducting Off
smoke, but so artistcally built that it may
serve also as a monument TO remind us OF
the departing glory upon which its shad-
ow falls.
Several Of our business firms are like
~ to suffer considerable loss by the Boston
fire. Messrs. Halle, Frost & Co., had over
one hundred thousand dollars worth of
their manufactured goods burned, and G..
J. Amidon over twenty thousand dollars
worth. Their insurance would cover their
losses, but unfortunately their policies are
not all worth par value. Other parties here
are likely to suffer loss, but at present all is
in doubt.
The lIiusdale correspondent of the
Record and Farmer seems to be familiar
with the old saw, "a lie wcll.stuck to is as
good rs the truth" But we again say with
entire truth, that the correspondent of the
PHTNIX never made in its columns or
elsewhere, any such statement aboutthe vote
of Hinsdale as nc of the Record and Far
mer asserts. We challenge him to produce
one particle of proof that will sustain his
statement viii he retract his statement
as publicly as he made it? Did he 'get' il
