The election in this town passed off
with but little excitement. Though
considerable earnest work was done,
the vote was quite light, neither party
being able to secure the attendance of
their full force. But S35 votes were
polled, when there is little doubt that
when all are out the number would
reach nearly or quite HOO. There
was vast amount of scratching done,
Garfield being cut weight votes.
The Republicanimajority on Secretary
of State is Sc, being less than they
have ever before received in this town
since the organization of the party.

William W. expired about midnight at Wind

with other peers and high functionares of the
kingdom were in attendance. As soon as the
''sceptre had departed'' with the last breath of
the king, the Archbishop Quilted Windsor Cas-
tie, and made his way, with all possible speed
to Censngton Palace, the residence at that
time of the Princess-alreadv by the law of
succession, Queen Victoria. He arrived long
before daylight, announced himself and re-
quested an immediate interview with the prn-
cess. She hastily attired herself, and met the
venerable prelate in her ante-room. He in
formed her of the demise of William, and for
mally announced to her that she was, in law
and right, successor to the deceased monarch
