There were one or two little inaccuracies in our
article of yesterday, in relation to Mr. Chute
finding his father, but nothing, however, to
change the curious story or to affect its truthful
ness and romantic character His fathers name
is Daniel Chute, and he is now 70 years of age
though smart and active as any young man. The
son, Samuel, is "a. The father was not ship
wrecked, and for several years had been making
inquiries in regard to his family, having been led
to suppose that they were dead, as his family
thought that certainly they would never hear
from him again. 1t is not positively known that
Mr. Chute is very wealthy, but he is engaged in
the mining, harness and shoe business in Nevada,
and is doubtless doing well. He will reside here
with his son this winter, and in all probability
they will both deIart for Nevada next spring.

The Governor and Conncil adjourned yesterday
TO Thursday next. A hearing was had on the
matter involving the validity of the return vote
Hurricane Island, vinalhaven. A. P. Gould, Esq
appeared for the petitioners, and 7. P. Pierce
Esq, for the respondents. 1t is claimed that the
returns were not sealed as the law requires, that
hurricane Island is no part of vinalhaven by the
act of incorporation; that the act of the legisla-
.ure making it a voting precinct was unconstitu-
tonal. 1t appeared from the hearing that one of
the candidates for q county office went to the
town clerk and told him it was his duty to
amend the records, and the candidate made out
the record as he wanted it to read, and the clerk
signed it. But the respondents brought the re-
cord ITSELF and that didn't at all agree with the
certified copy. No decision has been reached on
the matter.
