To PhiIOmatheans.

A misty cloud of darkness,
Creeps DER worthy cause;
And while we view the struggle,
We gaze about and pause:
We pause to ask a question,
10 ask the reason why
The fountains Of our city
Have run so nearly dry.
| do not mean the liquid,
So pure, and bright and clear,
Which flows up through the limestone,
Flows on from year to year:
This truly is essential
In quenching of the thirst,
That turks in every system,
And needs attention first.
But there's thirst that fingers
In every youthful soul;
A thirst for something higher,
For some far distant goal.
To reach this goal before US,
Needs exercise of powers,
Which lie before us dormant,
Lest we improve the hours.
We had widening channel,
Through which our thoughts might
flow
In unrestrained confidence,
And live and thrive and grow;
But, sad to tell, the channel
Has grown so small at last,
Has grown SO full of thistles
IT'S known but of the past.
| saw the sunlight fading
Ger literary thought,
That once claimed much attention.
And all our members sought
To gain the information
That flowed from every brain;
But now our cause is sinking,
And will not rise again.
1t cannot rise unless we break
The chain that holds US bound;
Unless we change our course at sea,
And bring the ship around.
So let us cut our ancher loose,
And set our sails anew;
Let's pull our gang plank well on deck,
And ship another crew.
Let's have crew that keep the ropes,
That hear the captains call,
Ana who are always near at hand,
TO meet sudden squall.
With such crew to man the ship,
We're strong as any fort,
And then we can, with JOS and pride,
Sail into any port.

The Election.

The election Tuesday for President, Mem
Der Congress and County ticket called
out an unusually heavy vote, so far, at
least, as the city is concerned, and we Judge
a large vote was polied throughout the
State The vote of the city is the largest
ever polled, being nearly 1900. The ma
jority for Tilden in the city is 923 on this
largely increased vote, notwithstanding the
Republicans make gain on their vote for
Grant in 1872. On Congress Hon. L. B.
Caswell runs ahead of his ticket IN the i've
wards Of jefferson county over 90, very
handsome home endorsement for him
Considerable interest was manifested over
the county tickets The candidates for
Sheriff, Treasurer, Register and District
Attorney, on the Republican ticket, run
largely ahead in most of the wards and
in some towns, but not enough to overcome
the large Democratic majority against them
in the county and all are defeated nolwith-
standing the efforts put forth by their
friends in both parties.
A large portion of our citizens, prospect
i've of party, feeling that the interests of the
city would be best suhserved by the election
of Mr.. N. S. Greene, Republican candidate
for Senator, gave him strong support in
several of the wards, and the result is his
Democratic opponent runs behind consid
erably in the city For Member of
Assembly Mr. Hezekiah Finn had no op
position, although, as will be seen, his vote
falls materially short of the total vote,
many in both parlies having scratched his
name from their tickets, preferring to treat
his candidature in this manner than to be
parties TO the success and elevation of the
head and front of the Union League organ
'zalion. In the I'd Assembly district the
Republicans have elected Mr.. G. H. Phil
lips over his Democratic competitor, Mr.. W.
W. Woodman. In the Sd district Mr.. L.
NJ Goodhue, Republican,, is probably elect
ed. giving Jefferson county two Republican
Assembymen.

Painful Accident.

A man named Zeimann, residing about
five miles from the city on the West road
met with serious accident in town on
election day. A procession of boys playing
drums and carrying flags frightened his
horses which were pitched on Main street
He tried to hold them but in the endeavor
was thrown down and the horses ard
wagon passed over him, breaking his right
hip and receiving other serious injuries
The horses ran the distance OF a few blocks,
but were caught before doing any damage.
Zeimann was taken home Immediately, and
received medical attention. He is not con-
sidered dangerously hurt, tut a, his age, 67
years, his recovery must be necessarily slow.

quarters Of Wisconsin, show radical
change in the tobacco market for the bet
ter. Several new buyers are in the field
and numbers of the best judges of the

"knock down all the crops that can be got
at the present prices. On good authority it
ascertained that one firm alone has con-
tracted for over $4,000 werth of the new
crop. This favorable change is owing to a
partial failure in Germany andthe decreased
acreage planted in this country, and par
tial failure in some portions Of the Union.
