The Conte.1ed Elecr,on case

The contested election case, wherein
Robert Stewart contested the election of
Horace E. Lydy to the Office of Marshal of
Washington, came up for hearing in the
Probate Court on Monday; jury was
sworn, and the trial proceeded. After
hearing part of the evidence, however,
the contestant became satisfied that he
would be unable to make anything out of
his case, and abandoned it. The jury
made the following report:
'fWe, the undersigned freeholders, Sc
lected and sworn to try the contest of the
election of Horace r. Lydy, as marshal of
the incorporated village of Washington,
at the municipal election, April Sd, 1876,
by Robert Stewart, contestant, having
heard portion of the evidence, and con-
testant, Robert Stewart, having abandon
ed said contest, we do find that the points
of contest are not true as stated in said
notice. And we do find that there is no
vacancy in the office of marshal of said
village. And we do find that the
election of Horace E. Lydy to the office of
marshal of the incorporated village of
Washington on April 3, 1875, remains
good, and we hereby authorize the Pro
bate Judge of said county to certify this
finding to the Mayor and Council of the
| said village of Washington.
Witness our hands and seals this April

State Road case,

For several years past, what is known
in this county as the State Road case, has
been lingering in the Supreme Court of
this State, and has caused much anxite-
ty on the part of our County Commis-
sioners and others. The case grows out
of the location of free turnpike road in
the northern part of the county, and the
circumstances are familiar to the readers
Of the HERALD. On Wednesday of last
week the Court gave its decision on the
case, which, as will be seen by the follow
ing, was against the Commissioners:

Easter passed with only few drops of
rain.
Our town has presented quite a lively
appearance for the last few days. A gem
tleman told us that he counted 1s plows
at the blacksmith shop, to be repaired,
one day last week; besides several horses
and other things in general. Smith, AL
len G Bro. are doing a great deal of work
and they give good satisfaction.
On last Monday. week the householders
met at the school-house to elect director,
as Levi Ellis time was out. Albert Fish
back and Levi Ellis were candidates for
director. There were 18 votes cast, Mr..
Fishback receiving and Mr.. Ellis 8. AS
the election resulted in a tie, new cleo
ton was ordered for last Saturday, the
18th. The electors met again and result
ed in Mr.. Ellis getting II votes, Mr.. Fish
back II and Mr.. Cooper 1 j; in all % votes
were cast. As it was again tie, lots
were cast, and Mr.. Fishback was the
lucky man.
| We understood that in one of our adj
! joining districts only two householders
went to the election, and therefore there
was no election. It shows most lament
able lack of interest in educational af-
fairs.
Miss Clara Smith is teaching our sum.

The Washington, D. G. Chronicle says:
The championship for the honor of pos
sessing the smallest foot in Washingto
is still being contested. 1t is said that
Mrs. Mullet, the wife of the late Super
vising Architect Of the Treasury Depart
ment, wears No. IL, misses size. Mrs.
Grant has very small foot and wears, it
is rumored, No. 1. A boot maker in Brus-
sells has written to a customer in Wash
ington, requesting her permission to make
some shoes on her last for exhibition ct
the Centennial. He says he prefers this
request not only because she has the
smallest foot of any of his customers, but
also because he has never seen another
foot so perfectly proportioned. He pro-
poses to make four pairs of shoes, repre-
senting the four seasons, for the Centen'
NAL. One will be a pair for evening
wear, and will be trimmed with Valen
ciennes lace.
While the subject Of shoes is under
consideration it is quite appropriate Il

else, that the finest stock, prettiest styles
and lowest prices, are to be found at tn
