RUMORs OF TwEEDs RETURN..-After
Tweed's escape from Ludlow St. Jail it
began to be surmised that his whereabouts
was not far from New York, and certain
sanguine persons, some of whom were for
merly on intimate terms with him, made
offers to wager that, in case of the trial of
the S6,000,000 suit now pending, Tweed
would suddenly appear and testify in his
own behalf. The suspicious and surmises
thus engendered and broadly limited al
have thickened and grown within the past
few days. The argument in favor of the
statement was that Tweed had left Ludlow
Street Jail not from any desire to escape
trial, but, simply toavoid long and tediou,
imprisonment, and that, now that there
was some probability of verdict being
had in the suit from which he had most t
fear, he was willing to stand his trial, feelin,
confident that nothing could be proved t
fasten liability upon him. Dudley FielC
and other counsel in the case when visited
and questioned about the matter woulC
neither affirm nor deny any of the rumOrs

SpAyING Cows.-It seems strange that IN
this country so little attention is paid to
shaving cows, whilst it is being practised In
other countries with such marked advan-
taqe. 1t is said by the highest authorities
on the subject in France that the effect OF
shaving COWS causes more abundant ana
constant secretion of milk, and assures the
certainty of having almost constantly the
same quantity, besides increases astonlsh-
inglv the disposition of such cows to fatten
when dried off From repeated expert
ments in that country it has been ascer-
tanned beyond doubt that the operation
of spaving furnishes incontestible advanta-
ges in the matter of dairying, particularly
near cities, where feed is dear, and milk
always finds ready market, and that the
milk from spayed COWS does not undergo
any alteration either in quantity or quality.
These experiments show further that if the
operation is performed say thirty or forty
days after calving, when the COW is sup
posed to give the largest quantity OF milk
she will continue to give like quantity, II
not during her whole after life, at least fol
many years, or until she is dried off tc
| fatten.
Again, no one is ignorant of the fact that
| all domestic animals, females as well a!
males, when deprived of their reproductive
organs fatten more quickly than those tha
retain them, and that the flesh of tn,
females is more delicate and tender thar
that of the males. Indeed the universe
experience is that spayed heifers attain
size fully equal to that of the steer; tha
they fatten easier, and that their beef is c
a superior quality and commands a highe
price at the hands of the butcher, whilst, a
general thing, open COWS sell for fifty to
hundred per cent. less, according to weigh
and bring to the raiser only about one-ha
what he realizes from his steers.
In view of the above facts, is it not su
prising that so little attention is given {
f the subject in this country ?-BaLtimore 50

MARTINS FERRY.

The rule or ruin policy of the Radi-
Gals had full sway on Tuesdsy. They
made their last desperate effort, and by
merciIess persuasion and strong intiml-
dations they gained few votes over
1875, while in 1875 the Democrats pOlied
the largest vote ever poled in
the precinct They over reached It
this time, and polIed twelve
more than in 1875, making il the largest
Democratic vote ever given in Martini
Ferry, and We can truly feel happy over
the result, when we remember that only
FIVE or six years ago the Democratic
vote was less than 100 and now it
reaches the enormous and unprecedented
sum Of 427. We are astonIshed, and
can but wonder with the Radicals
where all the Democrats come from.
When we remember that free speech and
the ballot are the insl!enabie rights OF
every. Americsn citizen. We are made 20
cover our face from shame. when we see
the manner Of conducting election IN
some voting places II the ballot box
cannot be protected in an intelligent
and enlightened community, what can
We expect from some places
where ignorance and superstition
sbouuts. We can only watch ard wait
for the day when right and might may
rule supremacy.

ruy DAY Arrrs ELrcr1oN.-

The DAY AFrER ELECTIoN.-Al- +
though the day o. election passed of
amid great excitement and enthusiasm,
it could not be compared with yesterday,
the day after election. All day long and
throughout the night, the streets were
lined with small groups Of men discuss
ing the prospects OF their respective par
ties. To describe the intense excitement
would be impossible; even the small boy
in his swaddling clothes was injected
with the disease, snd following in the
wake of the full-h.edged voter Owed
into his pockets and gambled his nickel
or demonetized ten cent piece on the
result, talking politics at the same time
with the air of one whose lair was
whitened with the frosts OF time. In
front OF the newspaper and telegraph
offices, the surging mass OF anxious
and nervous humanity crowded the
streets from one side 10 the other, and As
the last "bulletin" was pat out TO greet
their eyes, the cry of What Is III
Whose ahead" &c, reused the sleepy
civilian from his rest, and half smothered
spathemas fioated from out his throat as
gently and surely as will the great wave
| of reform float over the country from
pole to pole in the November elections.
! As is usual on such occasions, and amid
such intense excitement, large sums oil
money were wagered ON the result. As
q telegram would be received announcing
a result favorable for either OF the par
ties, confidence for the time beng would
be restored, and loud yells OF
" Fifty on Indians! Twenty
| FIVE on Ohio :" One hundred
to fifty on Mathews andIbets OF singu-
lar nature. were 10 heard on all sides
/ During the fore part OF the day Tingle
WAS the favorite, and odds on msjorities
were necessary to secure bet, but, later,
the Republicans gave up the ghost IN
that line, and retired to some obscure re-
treat TO "d-n the hard luck for the
time being. At this writing Zone
o'clock A. N.Y. both parties are
confident of Ohio. the Demo,
racy sure of Indiana, and West Virgins
is conceded to have gone into the
hands of that "Howling Mob"and "Com-
munistic Rabbo" which SO disturbed the
peace of our friend Archie of that "trooly
loiW sheet, the Htc'LigeWccr. Amid al
this great confusion, there were no signs
OF disturbance, and to the credit of our
city, be 1t SAID, the best of good feeling
prevailed.

owe ARE DEMoCRATs."-An amusing

ception, and to gather at the court house
large crowd of people, to hear him
explain the mortality of his troops
and tell them what he knew
about that 'three drowned and two nat
ural deaths" This beng the case,
couriers were dispatched throughout the
city to gather the faithful together, and
stran gers in all portions of the city were
requested to respond. One of these
courers was delegated to canvass Water
street for men to bear torches, and IN
passing the st. James Hotel, stepped up
to a party of gentlemen, and said:
Hurry up, gentlemen, get your cap;
and capes, and let's have large turn
