AT the Elkton polls, on Tuesday last,
two young ladies pressed their way through
the crowd and offered their ballots to the
Judge, who, owing to his bashfulness,
could not refuse to receive them; but hav-
ing done so, passed them to the other per-
sons in the room, who, after inspecting
them, threw them aside.
The election passed off very quietly
here. Nobody's slumber was disturbed by
the ringing of the Court House bell, though
arrangements were made for it, and no
crowd paraded the streets, singing songs
and insulting quiet citizens. The people
may thank the Reformers for that much,
any how.

more, and will have it stuffed to grace a
