The immense amount OF water
for the past week standing on the
lands OIL both sides Of Washington
avenue prove conclnsively the
great need of drains in that
part of the city. The citizens
tried hard to have the Common
Council do something for their re-
lief last year, without avail, but we
really hope the new Council will
nav a little heed to what is actually
necessary in the way Of drainage.

CITY TICKET.

At the head of the two city tick
cts stood men against whom not a
word could be said. Geo. l.. Maltz,
who has, as every one must &C
knowledge, made a good and eff
ficient officer as Mayor of the city
for the past year, stood at the
head of the Republican ticket,
while VIM. III. Johnson, q citizen
with unblemished characted, head
ed the Democratic ticket. The
contest between these two candi-
dates was a close one, and as Mr..
Johnson had repeatedly said that
he did not want the Office, the

Mr.. Maltz, AID in the city he re-
ceived q majority Of 10.
The candidates for Recorder
were also two men whose characters
stand above reproach, and the con-
test was very close one, Thos. c.
Lester, Democrat, being elected by

canvasserr yesterday threw out
two of Thos. Testers votes, leav-
ing a majority, according to their
decision, Of ono for Mcdonald.
For Treasurer, Thus. Collins on
the Democratic side, and John Nc
Sorley on the Republican, the odds
we're in favor of Thos. Collins, who
received q majority Of las.
The contest for the Office of Com
troller was between Jas. ID. Turn
bull, Democrat, and David Plough,
Republican. The fight between
these candidates was a warm one,
and when the votes were canvassed
at night, the majority for Jas. d.
Turnbull was shown to be 90.
The candidates for Justice Of the
Peace were Cbas. A. tcyte, Dem
ocrat, and Alex. r. Mcdonald, Re-

Mrs. Stowe, without appearing to antici-
pate 80 much at the time, wrote the

ton. Our Neighbors' is little home Story,
honestly and pithily told. The ecene of the
story is laid in New York, and little OF

under discussion in the course of the mar
rati0e. The book is elegantly printed, and
illustrated by fifty engravings.
