 At the election on the Eth inst, Hon. Robert D. Livingston was chosen to repre- sent the town in the next General Assembly of the State. Mir Livingston having been a member of the Legislature of New York, possesses experieace in legislation and 1 neing also gentleman of talent and liberal education, he is proper and suitable per son to represent this ancient and respecta- ole town. At the same election Gilbert l.. Smith, Esq, the republican candidate for representative, received d very compliment tary vote, being forty in advance of the republican state ticket. The other repre- sentative is Mir. John Boyd.

 Sheffield.
 The events of the past two weeks have not been too numerous to mention; thought Luna " would have sent you a communication last week, but she seems to have disap ,eared again, so it becomes my bounden duty to " illuminate " from Shef- field. Easter Sunday passed pleasantly by. In the morning we listened to most excellent discourse from the Rev. MT. Chipp of the M. B. Church. His sermon was favored with tincture of woman rightism. Nevertheless noEe could deny that it was gospel truth.......The afternoon of Easter was celebrated by children's festival a, | the Episcopal Church. The exercises were interesting. and the pupils, though few ID number, did credit to their instructors who have so faithfully trained them to love the | church and it's service......We have another wedding to chronicle, though this item is 1 too late to be considered ne1os. Ip the Episcopal church on Wednesday, the l6tb l lnst., Wm. Lille and Clara Forbes were made Gone twain " by the Rev. Mr. Fiske. This marriage was not at all surprising, and Mrs. Grundy, who usually finds some fault pronouuces the match to be "just the thing" We are glad to learn that MT. Lille does not intend to carry his bride away from Sheffield, but they will continue residents of the place.....We notice that Miss French has at last returned from her shopping excursion in New York. Judg- ing from the fine display of millinery in her show windows, we think it would pay to call and examine her stock of goods...... Two of our enterprising young men threat cned to leave town this spring: one set his face cityward. and the other was bound foraIdaho. Sheffield needs all her boys, and we arc glad to learn that they have re- veked their decision. Rumor whispers that it was the attraction of a certain Belle which changed their purpose but that may be only gossip, and we know nothing in that way...... ThefW has been much sick ness in town this season, and we hope, the high waters having abated, and mud par tially drIed, that colds, coughs and epizoot- ics generally may take their departure.
