Cor. CURTIS, the defeated Republican
candidate for Congress in the Erie district,
has been beaten by clcrca votes. Since his
defeat nc has been called on by many Re-
publicans who express rcaret for having
voted against Kim, who assure him they
would haze voted for him if they had
dreamed OF his defeat. Erie is q manufac-
turin. city. whose increase and develop
mcnt depends on a tariff. Her Republican
voters have been taught that this was
good year 10 bolt, " and have holted. The
result is the election to Congress Of man
whatever his individual sentimcn Is
may bc-will he forced to vote with his
party, and so aid ia the destruction Of a
tariff, on which the prosperity Of that city
depends. However good a year this has
been for bolting, we think we can assure
Republicans everywhere who enjoyed that
delight on the 81 Instant, that the next two
years will be good gcor& fcr repeating. And
we wish such communItic. as Erie and
Pittsburg much benefit from this chasten-
ing outlook.

THE DDBocrct gives us the information
THAI sHore are already four applicants for
clerk in the Commissioners Office, to take
the place of Mr.. Gray, viz: John Farms
worth, Esq, Of Upper Augusta VIM. T.
Hickey, of SunDury Daniel Swartz, Of
Jordan and W. IIummel, Of Upper Au-
gusta. We. also, learn that Mr.. Eisely,
Of Sunbury, is an applicant. The first and
last named on the list, have, undoubtedly,
done more for the Democratic Ring, than
any member Of the party, and are certainly
entitled to recognition for past services.
But whether they viii be acceptable TO the
people. generally, is quite another matter.

PUBLIC BALLS.
Full of significance for next winter, is
the falling off IN the number of public balls
to be given. People have not the money
to spend Oh dress and entertainments.
There used to be Il score of balls given by
political clubs every season, not one of
which is on record for the coming winter.
The great annual masquerade of the Arion
Society of rich Germans, which used to
count its guests by thousands,is ,is withdrawn
from the Academy of Music, to a smaller
hall, significant triumph of prudence over
pride, for the rivalry has been high be-
which should show the largest and most
brilliant house 1T their annual balls. Very
few military balls will be given in compari
son with former seasons, and cheap balls
for the lower classes will be fOregone in
dulgenccs. The thought in every ones
mind will be, not how to dance, but how
to dine, and there is such prudent taking
in of sail as makes one of the mos. cheering
indications for the stormy season ahead.
People are not ashamed either to talk or TO
practice economy The word is passed
round that such and such families do not
entertain this season, and no offence is
taken. and no aspersion Of closeness made.

THOSE who telicitate themselves that the
Pennsylvania legislature will not this win
ter take any action upon the local option
/ law, viii find themselves seriously msta-
ken. Too many members have been elect
cd 10 the legislature on pledges to secure
its repeal to permit the session to 90 on
without an agitation Of the question. All
those elected from LycOmiug county were
pledged to DO their utmost to eXpunge the
law from the statute books, and the pros
pcct is that i will receive attention very
early in the session. An act of repeal will
have little trouble in getting through the
Democratic house of representatives,, and
the slight Republican majority in the SEN
ate will afford no formidable opposition.

and beast like a tremendous drum, the ex-
press his savage JOY over the first full meal
he has had after years Of enforced abstin-
encc"
And events have fully shown that the
beast has changed neither its voice nor its
habits, since.

valuable horse belonging to &. Munson,
Esq, Of Phillipsburg, refused TO eat, al
though exhibiting no symptoms of any
disease peculiar TO horses. At last it was
discovered that by some means boot heel
had become fastened in the roof of the ami
mails mouth, prevensing masticatiOn. l.
is stated that the heel was in the hay upon
which the animal fed, and the nails, by
action of the mouth, we're forced into the
roof, holding the heel until discovered and
