PoLITIcAL--A complete and entire
change has taken place this year in the polt-
ical complexion of the towns IN New York.
Compared with 1873 the result is as follows:
1873, Republican majority of towns, ~ !;
1874, Democratic majority of towns, 90;
Democratic gain over 1878, 1854. This looks
encouraging for the future.
For sixty successive years Windham
county, Connecticut has sent an anti-Demo-
cratic Senator to the Legislature of that
State. At the last election she elected n
Democrat indicating the utter disgust of her
people at the corruption and msrule of the
powers that be" at Washington.
New Jersey joins New York and Gonncc-
ticut in pushing on the Democratic column.
The latest returns from the town elections
indicate sweeping Democratic gains through
out the State. The close counties of Morris
and Union, the city of Railway and the towns
of Belleville, Newton and Holland all elect
Democratic officers. In the county of Sus-
sex the Board of Freehoders is composed of
twenty six Democrats, two Liberals and no
Republicans,

OIL.
A Visit to the OH dretts
of SDrinss-GOId and Oil-(same.

EDITOR HERALD: - In company
with Captain Kraszynski of Lyon
Station, yesterday went to see the
oil deposits in this vicinity, and was
greatly astonished at the splendid
show of oil that we saw. The first
claims we went to see were the Clara
and Danbury, which are located about
one mile from Lyon Station, and are
undoubtedly the best claims in the
district. Riding up a canon COM
pletely shut in from the outside world
by high cliffs, and along a creek COW
cred on either side by dense groves of
willows, we soon come to a group OF
oil springs seven or eight in number,
all situated within
A SHORT DISTANCE OF EACH OTHER.
We examined them closely; the oil
appeared to come from little crevices
in the rocks, and flowed small
stream of oil continuously. Con-
tinuing our way up the canon we
came to numerous springs, and they
kept increasing until the ground was
literally covered with oil. Far up the
sides of the mountain and in the
gulches, springs of oil were bursting
out and it seemed to be everywhere.
1t was grand sight amid the wild
mountains, to see this immense wealth
scattered over the face OF the whole
mountain and cafIon, and forming a
chain of springs that extend for many
miles through the country. Entering

A month or two ago we mentioned
the interesting swarm of bees which
Mr.. Littlefield had quartered in front
window cornice of his residence. At
that time efforts were made to expel
the troublesome lodgers from their
snug retreat, and it was thought that
the task was effectually accomplished.
The bees were smoked out, drowned
out and burnt out, and finally the cor
nice was removed and the swarm with
their honey removed bodily. But bees
still remained, in spite of every effort.
Yesterday another attack was made
upon the improvised apiary, and full
swarm with upwards of one hundred
pounds of strained honey removed. If
this is not liquid sweetness long drawn
out, what is it?

Lyons Station, Augtst 10, 1874.

In speaking of the proprietorship OF
our town clock, whether vested in the
city or county, our evening cotempo-
rary says: ain the course of the de-
bate in the Council yesterday, it was
stated that the clock in the Court
house tower belongs to the county and
not the city. This will he found to be
a mistake. In 1858 when Don Juan
Temple was about to erect the build
ing, he proposed to the city to proc
ure clock and place it in the
tower The city appropriated the
money, and the clock was bought
and placed where it is now. After
wards, in 1865, Mr.. Temple came to
the conclusion that the clock was too
heavy for the tower and that the vi
bration of the bell in striking the hour
was injuring the building. He there
fore threatened to take it out. Judge
King, who was then City Attorney, in
conjunction with the late VIM. H.
Lander, filed a bill Of injunction
against Mr. Temple, and he relin-
quished his purpose. When the build
ing was purchased by the county, the
transfer carried no other right or title
in the property than was formerly
held by Mr.. Temple, and the owner
ship of the clock was therefore sub
ected to no change. Consequently, if
the city in 1865, when she proceeded
to enjoin Temple from displacing the
clock, was the legal owner of that in
strument, she is in exactly the same
position to-day.
