TO tho Polls.

The polls Will not close until seven o'clock this
evening 1t is the duty of every man who would
have the OF the city placed in the hands
Of Q safe aud economical Council, to vote. It is
act right for men to abstain from voting when
;hsy can reduce the burden Of government by ex-
ercising this FRANCHISE. Ii they do not feel the
saxes oppressive themselves from the fact that
xhey have an abundance, or they are OF the favor
ed few, they should vote for reform and lower
taxes because Of their neighbor who is no. 50 for
tunate.
The present Council has increased the expenses
Of the city enormously. We cannot state the dit
ference accurately because the data Is rigldly
withheld from the press and the people. Why.
the Council have not made All annual statement
exhibiting the cost Of the city government during
the past year with the cost during the previous
years, Is q mystery. Certainly party that asked
TO be continued as the custodians Of the health,
The wealth and the order Of the city. should show
the cizens the good fruits Of their labors if there
were any.
We are quite convinced that the expenditures
for governing the city during the past year will
exceed double the expene i'll many preceding
years. Even the "Organ" of the party in power
has complained of the tendency to sxtravagancs
and the disposition of the in power to increase
az number Of employees ami enlarge the sKps :
'ses in various ways. Certainly citizens cannot
look with unpleasAntness upon proposition hav-
hng for it object the reduction of expenses, and
this y the aim Of the Democratic Reform and Cit
izens' movement Every one should vote in tavor
Of economy and the wise disposition Of the money
of the people. Vote the Democrntc ticket and
thus assist to reduce the expenaes- this you can
do before the polls close at p. M.

PAcIFo Tunnel is an important enter
prise and is destined to exert great in
huence in this camp. The winze on the
first ledge is now down 60 feet, and as
soon as depth of 100 feet is attained
drifting will be commenced. A drift
from the main tunnel has been COM
menced'for the purpose OF tapping the
second ledge, which will be cut in about
50 feet, and then ore will be taken out.
The lodges are looking we'll, the main
tunnel is being pushed ahead with all
possible CELEBRITY, and everything con-
nected with the tunnel presents healthy
aspect. Indications warrant the expec-
tation Of rich strike before many days.
CARoLINE.-This mine has completed
its shaft to the depth Of 100 feet and we'll
timbered the entire distance. A contract
to sink so feet more has been let. The
rock is quite favorable for speedy sink
ing. Developments SO far prove them
selves favorable. Small feeders of
quartz are comingin W hich will probably
lead to the main ledge.
MoNTANA.-This mine, now under con-
tract, has reached depth of So feet.
Last evening some very good rock came
IN, and from its character we should
judge that the vein is not far distant.
SILVER PEAK continues to improve as
depth is attained. Yesterday some ex-
cellent ore from the bottom Of the shaft
was shown us and it gives good promise

Intelligence Of Cows.

An agricultural writer remarks that
while travelling in Italy, several years
ago, he happened to stop ut farm
house ono afternoon, when the cows
were about to be MIXED. He speaks rs
follows of the intelligence OF cows /:
"a herd Of over one hundred were
grazing homeward. The women took
their position with stools and pals close
TO the house, and as the cows approached
names were called out, which at first We
thought addressed to the milkmaids.
Rosa, Florcnza, Giulin, Sposa, and many
names which were not noted by us at the
time, were called out by the oveEeer or
one Of the women, and the writer was
astonished to see COW after COW cease
feeding or chewing the cud, and make
direct, sometimes at trot, for the woman
that usually MIXED. The practice, we
found, was not confined to one farm all
the COWS on each farm knew their re.
spectivc names, and took up their posi-.
tons in the open fields Just as readily
us the individual members Of some large
herds in this country, turning from the
fields, take M their places in the sheds. !"
The Poughkeepsie Press, speaking Of
this same subject-tlo intelligence OF
cows-says: Zone OF our farmer sub.
scribers recently purchased au excellent
COW and put her in the yard with others.
His help went out at night to milk, as
usual, md set down before one Of the
other COWS. No sooner, however, had
he done so than the newcomer made for
him and drove him from his seat, nor
would she let him proceed with the
milking The proprietors attention was
called to the strange conduct Of his new
purchase, whom his man considered dan.
gerous. Mr.. p. went into the yard and
began to sooihe the animal with gentle
handling, and then set down to milk her,
when he found her as meek as a lamb.
After that she was perfectly satisfied II
she was MIXED first, hut no one must
presume to slight her in this respect.
She holds literally in her own case, to
the scripturl mention, that the last
shall be first
