From our Correspondent. The Republican Victory In New
 Hampshire.

We have just closed one of the most ex.
 citing political campaigns ever known in
 New England, and all the Republicans ot the country are rejoicing over our success. The Democrats left no stone unturned to maintain their supremacy in the State, and we had to contend against the infu- ence of two or three Senators at Washing ton, who protesting to be advanced Re- pubhcans, show not little ingenuity in discovering ways to stab the Administrs- tion and destroy the last hope of our country. The speeches of Sumner and Schurz have been scattered all over New Hampshire as Democratic campaign docu- ments, and have done vast amount of mischief, but the people are beginning to understand the ambition of these men, for plainly their motto is "Rule or Ruin. D And then we had, as you will have in Connecticut, the Labor Reform and Tenn perance parties, each with ticket in the field, to contend against for there are 8 few people in New Hampshire, still, who have never learned that the Republican party is the party of progress, and that there is not the shadow of hope of re- heving labor or putting down intemper- ance by law except through the ascenden- cy of Republican principles. The votes of these two parties become smaller and smaller and smaller each year. and this fact will doubtless appear in your coming election. What did the Democratic party ever do for temperance or to relieve the burdens that rest upon the poor? In our election of Tuesday the aggregate vote of the State was about 75,OOO which was di- vided as follows:
 Republican about, S38 0OO
 Democrstlc, 36,OOO
 temperance 200
 Labor Reform about, 300 while the Republicans have four out of five Councillors, two-thirds of the Senate and majority in the House.
 The Republican organization extended to nearly every school district in the State and a vast amount of good work was done. Everything turned upon the question of sustaining or condemning the Admins tration of President Grant, indeed there was no other question before the people.
 The Republicans of Connecticut may be encouraged by the example of the State that gave to you your excellent Governor Jewell. and we believe you will do like wise. All will be well if your third and fourth parties can only see that the causes they advocate find nearly all their efficient friends in the Republican party. N.

Obituary.

On Sunday last, Dr. David E. Bostwick died at his residence in this place after 8 lingering and most painful illness. He was native of New Milford, of which ! town his ancestors were among the first settlers in 17O8. He was born on. the 22d of February, 1921, and aboA ten years afterwards his family removed to Litchfeld South Farms, where he lived till his removal to this place. He commenced 1 the study of medicine in the office of Dr. Reuben M. Woodruff, in this place, and took his diploma at the Albany Medical College in 1846. After practicing short time in South. Farms (now Morris) he came to this village in 1849, where he con- 1 tinued in the practice of medicine till dis abled recently by sickness.
 As physician, Dr. Bostwick leaves no superior, if any equal, in the county. To thorough preparation, careful study, long practice, and sound judgment, was ad- ded that natural aptitude for his work which IS so necessary for the successful practice of medicine.
 He was very active and prominent F'reemason. Since the revival of Mason " in this place he has been a 'schief pill lar" of the order, and, in 1864 was chosen Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of the State.
 As man and citizen he was univer- sally loved and respected. He was a staunch Whig and Republican, favorite candidate with his party and first choice with them at all times when they felt the need of strong candidate. Thus, in 1865. he was elected to the legislature after hard two days contest, the result on the first day having been tie vote. Dr. Bostwick was not only man of extensive reading, but bold, sound, and original thinker. He combined, however, with great nat,,r- al ability and wide information fund of wit and suitability that rendered him uni versaly popular, attracting particularly the regard and esteem of those whose love and esteem are most worth having. The death of such man leaves gap in this community that can never be adequately filled.
 His funeral was attended at St. Michael's church, on Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, P. NJ. The services at the cemetery were Mason ic, over sixty Masons being present from this and the adjoining towns.
