The New Hampshire Democracy have captured the Senate of that state by lit tie judicious counting such as we have been in the habit of considering dishonest when it happened in Louisiana. There were two seats in which there was no ap. parent majority for any candidate. In one. the Democratic returning board threw out all the prohibition votes, for the al- legged reason that their candidate had not ! legal residence in his district. and brought in the Democrat who had plur- ality of votes. In the other. they threw out the votes cast for ssNatt Head" the Republican candidates name being Nath- aniel Head, and thus brought in another Democratic It is curious fact, in that connection, that the Democratic congress- man from the Frst District in that State | was voted for as Frank Jones whereas his real name in Franklin. The Hartford Times, even, condemns this action of the New Hampshire Democracy.
 NEW MILFORD. May 21st, 1875. MR. EDIroR:-Last evening, Newtown amateurs gave us a dramatic representa- ton of Jane Eyre. They had a benevo- lent object in view, and their acting was cleverly done, but the dramatist by no means did justice to the subject:
 Mrs. Gasken tells us that the Bronte sisters held an argument upon the possi- bility of making an attractive heroine who was not gifted with personal beauty. Charlotte thought it possible and Jane Eyre was introduced to the readers of fc- ton as small, plain, intelligent orphan, wholly dependant as child upon an aunt who had no love for her, and who sent her to benerolent school to be fitteI for life's duties, This school was worse than Dick ens' Dotheboy's Hall. and in the drama we are treated to a scene or two of social life among the teachers. Jane has the presumption to get sick for lack of proper food, and the matron is severely censured for allowing the children to have a lunch of bread and butter. after they had dined on porridge so burnt that they could no. eat it. Jane who has managed to exist eight years as pupil and teacher, is dis charged for ieignlng illness to shirk her duties, as one of the trustees claims. En- tirely friendless, she gets situation as governess, by answering an advertisement and becomes 8 member of the family of Rochester, the hero of the story.-In the novel he is a very interesting character, with a maniac wife that he was caioled into marrying while in foreign country, but whose existence is unknown to his English friends. Her keeper, Grace Poole, was finely represented by the New. town lady who took the part, but her shori sharp colloquies were much easier to speak than the frequent soliloquies of Jane. Rochester persuades himself that his mar riage is virtually no marriage, and is about to marry Jane, when the manlac interrupts the ceremony, ,and nearly burns the house After Jane had fled she accomplishes that l feat, and at the same time her own de struction. Rochester loses his .eyesight in his efforts to save her life, and spends one year in vain longings for his httl, Jane, who finally returns to him after re ceiving 8 mysterious call when many mile, : away, and all obstacles being removed she proposes marriage to him and we sup r pose he accepts. The marriage accom- l plished, of course the drama ends. g Much sickness among children who hay : whooping cough and measels. Some ru 3 mors also of small pox. Probably magni ! fled measles. zf.sa X. : Mir. Henry A.
