HARD F1GURING.-1he Boston Globe
says that the statistical editor of the
New York WorH has split any number
of pens all to pieces in his frantic efforts
to figure up the Vermont election re-
turns so as to represent a decrease IN the
Republican vote.

LUDLOW.

LUDLOW.
The town meeting passed off pleas
antly. The most eXcitable part was the
contest for town representative. There
were three principal candidates in the
field. E. J. WhitcOmb, Esq, President
of the Grant and Wilson club, was up
for reelection, (having represented the
town the last two years, and had the
inside track throughout. He came out
the winning man on the fifth ballot,
having three more votes than was ne
Cessary for a choice Ora J. Taylor,
Esq, the principle COntesting candidate
with Mr. WhitcOmb, is a man of sterl-
ing worth, and one whose moral and
intellectual culture with his strength of
mind, would eminently fit him to fill
the position with honor to himself and
credit to the town if he should at any
future time be elected to the office. The
other candidate, Mr.. Graham, was run
by the Greeley party, which adhered
tenaciOusly to its man until the final re-
suit was announced. One of the best
things observable in the sharp but brief
contest, and which reflects credit on the
town, was that it was a gerry good n0-
TIRED fight. People can work in a
cheerful mood even when there are diff
ferences of opinion, and if beaten, try
again. Three hundred and seventy
eight ballots were cast on the State
ticket, which is about 80 less than the
numerical voting strength Of Ludlow.
Y larger vote may reasonably he cX-
pccted in November.

l dreamed q dream In the midst Of my sumbors
And as fast as dreamed IT, Il came into numbers
My thoughts ran along in such beautiful metre,
Tn sure ne'or saw poetry swec,cr;
II seemed that q law had been recently made
Tint tax on old bachelors pates should be laid
Aud In order TO make them all willing to marry,
The tax was as large as a man could we'll carry,
The bachelors grumbod and said twas no use
Twas horrid injustice and horrid abuse,
And declared that to save their own hearts bloc,
from spillng,
OF such vile tax they would not pay shilling
But the rulers determined them still to pursue,
30 they set all the old bachelors up at venducj
A crier was sent through the town TO and fro,
To rattle his bell and trumpet TO blow,
And to call out to all he might meet In his way,
"llo forty old bachelors sold here TO day."
And presently all the old maids in the town,
Each In her very best bonnet and gown,
From thirty to sixty, fair plain, rcd and pale,
Ot every description all 1oekod to the sale.
The auctioneer then in his labor began.
And called out loud as he held up a man,
"How much for a bachelor? who wants to buylp
In twink every maiden responded Ill"
In short at highly exiravagant price,
The bachelors all were sold of in n thrice;
And forty old maids, some younger, some older,
Lugged m old bachelor home on her shoulder.
