The election on Monday called out a
very large vote, and the result has been
very disastrous to a number of aspirants
for Office. Politics were ignored, and the
independent voter "Went in on his mus
cle'' for victory. The most unfortunate
aspect, however, of the result was the use
of fire water" after the labors OF the day
were concluded and the polls closed. King

The wife of Joel Co uch, on S. Ridge
met with a very serious if not fatal mis-
hap, few days ago. While engaged
about some duties in chamber where
there was a loose floor, she stepped on
the end of a board and was precipitated
to the lower story, and being alone IN
the house she lay in a helpless and Un-
conscious condition sometime before as
sistance came. Her injuries are mostly
internal, and her recovery quite Qncer-
tain.
Sugar making is very general among

KINGSVILLE.

Ed. Tel.-This community is no excep-
ton TO the general rule, in the way of
admonitions. We have frequent and for
chile reminders that we are mortal. On
Wednesday, last week our bells told their
tale of desolated hearth stones. Miss Ada
Mullett, aged "a, and Miss Ella Webber.
of North KingsVille, aged 70, had passed
away TO the spirit land. The life OF the
former for weeks, was hardly expected
and for two yeals, her sufferings were
grept indeed, though not without a hope
of recovery. She died in the hope of
glorious Immortality, not less confident
for the trying and refining process she
had passed through. The large funeral
on Thursday was testimony of the SYM
pathy and regard generally felt for her.
Miss Webber died of diph liberia, of a
malignant type. She was a child of adop-
tion, and the love that was felt for her
will cause an aching void. The funerals
both took place on Thursday, the first at
tended by the Rev. Mr.. Hickok, and the
other by the Rev. Mr.. Hough.
Our sugar makers have for two or three

PAINEsYILLE HARBoR OF REFUGE
We are indebted to Representative Gar
field for copy of the report of Col
Blunt of the survey and estimates for the
construction of Harbor of Refuge at the
mouth of Grand River, submitted by
Secretary Belknap, TO the House of Rep
resentatives, in February last. Nothing
is said of the merits or policy of such
work. but the cost of three different sup
positions are summed up as follcws-To-
tai cost of first $6,77s, 900 of second 81.
413, 1000 and the third $2,295, 900. These
estimates contemplate cutting of 200
feet entrance through the beach, above
the present piers, and the excavation by
dredging of some 492 acres of swamp tc
depth of is feet The second and THIRD
estimates, are reduced in the ratio Of re

ORW ELL.

Ed. TeL-Miss Anna NJ. Edwards, of
Cleveland, addressed large aud ience of
citizens last Wednesday evening on the
subject of temperance. Miss Edwards is
a sprightly lady, good talker, and the
audience was very generally pleased with
the efort-the more so, perhaps, that 1t
was made up largely of facts and effects
that have come under the lady's personal
observation in the crusade work in and
about Cleveland, interspersed with excel
lent reflections and suggestions on the
use and abuse of ardent spirits. 1 wish
that every community in the count y
might listen TO her.
Speaking of the crusade work, Mr.. Ed
itor, may we now safely begin to inquire
as to its real merits? Have the SIN oke
and dust of conflict uff1ciently passed
away to enable US TO judge of the work
that has been done, and ofthe changes of
base that have been effected? I think so.
The facts as they come to US now indi-
cate that there are two greatly disap-
pointed parties-those who hought the
woman's movement would be but a nine
days wonder, destined to end in fog
mist and general chagrin on the part, OF
all those who endorsed it; and hose who
claimed it to be the great moral ugger-
naut, beneath whose wheels liquor deal
ing and all the evils ofintemperance were
to be speedily crushed out.
As nearly as I can sum up the case, it
stands thus: A deep p-seated public senti-
ment in favor of temperance, moving in
new channel. and supported measur a.
bly, by new influences not so much
drunkenness as twelve months ago; as
much liquor sold as ever, but more tenn
perately used; few temperance men
fully committed to total abstinence a
large increase of the army of iDvalids-
those who require little wine for the
stomach's sake;" no real decrease in the
number of liquor selling establishments
a large increase in the display of univer.
sal benevolence, especially in cities; a
settled conviction in the mind of the
thoughtful that temperance is legitimate
work of the church, and that its princi.
pies will fully triumph only when all
hearts bow at the foot of the cross. Am
l right? H. U.J.

examination Of more WItnesses-HIs
Death Still a Mystery-Tbe Verdict.

The coroner's jury met last Friday
morning, and several more witnesses
were examined among them was 81.
Gould, the engineer of freight train No.
%, that left Ashtabula at o'clock, p. m,
on the night of Tuesday, March 3Oth. and
which is supposed TO be The first train
that ran over the deceased. Gould testi-
fed that when about 215 miles south of
the L. S. & NJ. s. depot he saw an OBJ
ject lying across the track about six or
eight feet in front of his locomotive, but
could not distinguish what it was as he
passed over it the locomotive seemed to
rise from the track, and he remarked to
his fireman that he thought he had run
over man. He replied that be thought
not, as he had not noticed anything unu-
sual
At Plymouth, this tram was TO meet
No.-33, and two extras, coming north,
and as soon as the train stopped, Gould
got out TO examine lis engine, but could
discover no blood on it. On the forward
truck of the fourth car was patch OF
blood about the size ofa mans hand.
This was all the blood that was discover
ed
The engineer of the pony engine, was
next examined. He said he left Ashtabu-
la about 12 o'clock-after No. 80 and the
extras had arrived, in search of the re-
mains. After he had passed under the
bridge by the cemetery, he saw man
cross the track in front of the locomO-
tive About mile farther on they discov
cred Welch's remains, which were placed
aboard the locomotive and brought to the
depot When neal the bridge, a man was
seen 10 again cross the track. This was
the same person observed when the party
was going out, and who was, probably,
the man who was last seen with the de-
ceased, while alive.
How Welch came to his death is
mystery, and will, undoubtedly, ever re-
main so. Below, we give the verdict of
the coroner's jury:
We, the undersigned, jurors, empanel-
ed and sworn on the 3lst day of March,
A. D. 1875, at the township of Ashtabula,
in the County of Ashtabula, by W. II.
Hubbard, Justice of the Peace, in and for
the township and county aforesaid, act
ing as coroner for the time being, to en-
quire, and true presentment make, in
what manner, and by whom William
Welch, whose body was found on the
track of the Franklin Division of the
Lake Shore s. Mich. Southern Railway,
on the 31st day of March, A. D. 1875, came
to his death. After having heard the ev-
idence, and examined the body, we do
find that the deceased came TO his death,
in some manner and by some means to
the jury unknown, but under circum-
stances tending to cast a suspicion in the
minds of the jury upon one Daniel Lynch,
in whose company the deceased was last
seen alive.
Given under our hands, this 2nd day of
April, A. D. 1875, at the Township, COun-
ty and State aforesaid,

STREET CoMMIssIoNER.-We are en-.
couraged to believe that our new officer
is man adapted to the place to which he
has been elected. He has the credit OF
being clear headed, industrious. with force
and principle enough TO see that those
under him make full return for the
wages they get from the corporation-in
short, that he will not allow himself to
become the head of street ring for de-
pleting the corporation Golfers without
due return. The amount of labor upon
the streets of the village, and the amount
of money disbursed therefor, make this
Office very important one, and the inter-
est of the taxpayer demands thorough
competency. as well as thorough honesty
and watchfulness.
