point pretty clearly To the election Of Mcssr Til

which, at present writing, is persstently claimed
for 1den by q small majority. Later returns
may change the aspect Of the case, which change
We shall be too happy to record The claim Of
FIVE thousand to eight thousand democratic ma
jority in the state Of New York, In vote Of
nearly million, rests upon so small margin
that 1t must be very liable IN he overcome by
further returns.

lowing results:

HABpwIcK.-- Captain Thomas, llusionist and
Magician, gave entertainments, and a practical
illustration of his skill, ut the Town Hall, Friday
and Saturday evenings last. We understand these
exhibitions were given under the ausl ices Of our

Heavy rains are much needed before winter closes,
or much suffering and inconvenience will result.
Many mills are idle, and the operation of machin-

through scarcity of water. D. II. Drew has just

A GENEROUS Acr.-A most noble, generous
act occurred at Waitsfeld, few days since.
Captain Henry L. Foster, Of Derby Line upon re-
turning from the Centennial, visited Almon JOS
Ign, oyerseer OF the poor for the town, and re-
quested him to look over the old, musty records
of the town, and ascertain how much his mother
had been assisted by the town. lie was small
boy at the time The sum was found TO be one
hundred and ten dollars, including her funeral
expenses lie Immediately paid Mr., Joslyn the
full amount remarking that he had always in
tended to repay the town for the assistance rem
dered his mother whenever he was able to do so.
The people Of the town highly appreciate heprin-
ciple which led him to perform such generous
act Captain Foster was member OF the Eighth
Vermont Volunteers, commanded by General
Stephen Thomas, and all his comrades remember
him as veteran soldier and gencrous-hearted
officer.

CONSISTENCY What can be said for the con-
sistency, not to say anything OF the honesty, Of
the members OF the legislature, who spent day
in reducing the salaries Of all those state officers
who give their whole time TO the service Of the
state, thirteen hundred dollars In the aggregate,
while they adjourn over days at a time, and are
absent days aud days without adjournment, at a
cost to the state of twelve hundred dollars per
day for unrendered services? When Legislature
retrenches, ought II not be In the payment for
seryices that not given instead OF in the pay
ment for services that are fully rendered.
