MASSACHUSETTS.

Boston, November 4. An error in count
ing has been discovered in the 4th district,
which increases Frost's plurality to 1870, but
on the other hand it is claimed that certain
indiv idual in ward ) managed to have Benz
Deans name, who was dem. candidate in Sd
district, pasted over that of Abbott, and 1925
such votes were cast. Abbotts friends are
circulating petitions for a recount and as the
board of Aldermen meet tomorrow recount
ing will then probably take place.
The annexation of Chelsea and Winthrop
was defeated.
The feeling in this city and section over
the result of the election is most profound
and the interest TO- day has been scarcely less
than yesterday, The papers unite in accord
ing defeat to the abuses which have crept into
the republican party and its apparent sympa-
thy with corrupt "isms." They urge a
cleansing process and predict more glorious
record than ever in the future as the result of
temporary defeat
Butler and Ayers defea at is hailed with sat
isfaction, even BY the rep. press. Butler

Montgomery, 4. Enough gains are report
ed to insure the election of the dem. state
ticket by from 6 to 10000 maj. Five con-
gressmen are elected and probably 2 others,

negroes voted the dem. ticket than whites
the rep. The dem. gains are reported from
every county heard from except Sumpter.
Unofficial returns from 20 counties chow
net dem. gain of 10000. This includes
Sumpter and Greene, where the colored
denis. were intimidisted, and it overcomes
the rep. maj. of 1872 and leaves the dems.
1900 ahead. There are 81 counties to hear
from, which will increase the dem. maj. to 6
or 5000. 1t is one of the largest votes ever

eddy elected to congress:

Scientific men are advising people to breathe
through their noses, saying that the pernicious
habit Of breathing through the mouth while sleep
ing or working is very hurtful There many
persons who sleep with the mouth open, and do
not know it. They may 60 to sleep with it closed,
and awake with it closed but if the mouth is dry
and parched on waking, it is sign that it has
been open during sleep Snoring is another sure
sign. This habit should be overcome. At al
times, except when eating, drinking or speaking,
keep the mouth firmly closed, and breathe through
the nostrils, and retire with firm determination
to conquer. The nostrils are the proper breathing
spparatus-not the mouth. A man may without
being aware of it, inhale poisonous gases through
the mouth, but not through the nose.

Mr. Augustus Ritz, who died recently in Wal
doboro', at the age of 70, was peculiar person.
He was somewhat of hermit always living alone
The house that he lived in for "a long time was
burnt two years ago, he escaping with his life by
leaping from the chamber window. He lost at
this time valuable record which he had careful
ly kept, noting down everything OF interest that
came under his observation from day to day.
This was in fact his business and it was some time
before he could be persuaded to commence n new
work. He was a son of the Rev. Frederick Au-
gustus Rudolphus Benedictus Ritz, who was set
tied over the Lutheran church of this place in
1895.
