 Local Elections. election in this village was conducted quietly and orderly, and gave Democratic majority of IA. Hiram Briggs was elected representative, running somewhat ahead of his ticket, not withstanding the fact that the printer dis turbed him slightly in the morning by g [. fife of an ''irregularity," but as every body knows it was innocently done, the morning train, with extraordinary punct- uality, getting away and leaving him (ye printer, We mean,) with no remedy but the train two or three hours later. All Were disposed to take the matter philosophically, stirring up the boys, however, in the in- terim, to rattle off more votes, which was done, ,and the goose was soon made to hang high and dry. Hon. J. B. Hardenbsrgh was elected judge of probate with no op- position.
 IN SALISBURY.
 The vote in Salisbury was very full and resulted as follows: The Democratic pres. idential electors received 529 votes: the Republican electors so7, all except Donald J. Warner of that place, who received 30e votes, two ahead of the other electors. The Democratic state ticket was elected by 22( majority. For representatives, Horace Land0n received 445 votes, Charles Fl Bissell 436, John McElroy s94, and liar low P. Harris 38s; Messrs. Landon anG Bissel of course being elected. Lorenzo Tupper was elected judge of probate, ir place of Silas B. Moore, who resigned th' nomination. Mir. Moore and his brothe Albert have held the office of judge of pro bate for great many years, and very ac- ceptably to the people, as was manifest b, | their long continuance in office. Silas B
 would have been again elected if he only
 would take it, but refusing absolutely t
 qualify if elected, the people were com
 pelled to give their attention to somebod, else, and Co!. Tupper, eminently qualified
 for the position and very popular, re
 ceived it. The regular Prohibition ticke
 received in Salisbury 6 votes, Senator Pei
 tee getting 10 votes for senator.

Major Bush followed M : R., and said that he came in as dessert a ter the suostantials of the feast had bet - served. However, we all had good al petite for the dessert. He spoke of u
 pride he felt in being native of the United States-prouder now than ev since he had witnessed at the Centenni the place the United States holds amor '' the other nations.
