HOUSE OF DELEGATES,
Election Returns.

We have delayed this issue in order
to secure as full election returns as
possible before going to press. We re-
greet that they are not complete, but
they are sufficient to show who have
been elected. The vote is very small,
less than any we have polled for State
ticket for many years. For the Legis-
lature Judge H. c. Allen and D. s.
Henkel, Esqr., are elected. They will
make good representatives. Judge
Allen is well known, having served in
the last legislature, This will be the
first term for Mr.. Henkel, but from the
ability he has displayed and from his
we'll known energy, VIC feel assured that
he will make an able and efficient
representative. .-..

Large Shipments Of Grain.

The New York Tribune says. ''The
steamer Faraday sailed on Friday for
Liverpool, loaded with grain and pro-
visions, besides 500 horses and cattle
on her decks. The Faraday was con-
structed expressly for cable laying, and
with the Great Eastern laid all the ca
bic connecting the old and new worlds.
She is vessel OFFS, 900 tons burden, and
all the available space, including the
receptaeles for the cable was filed with
grain. The Great Eastern, of 10000
tons burden, is on the way to New York
on similar Grand, and it is said that
enough orders have been received for
grain, on English account, to give en-
ployment to every idle British vessel
laf1oat. Said a well-shipper: "England is
preparing for next seasons stock, and
must rely on America for her FOOD. The
Black Sea is closed. Only the Prus-
sian provinces on the Baltic, are open,
and as they must necessarily be closed
ifthe war is prolonged. America will
be England's only resort. Fortunate
ly the cropis large and ample enough
to feed the entire world.u es5''

This is why the debt cannot be paid
and the State Government supported.
A tract of land In Allegheny county
was recently sold at auction to the
Lomoore Iron Works company for 49,
500, one-third cash, balance In three
annual payments. There is about 500
acres in the tract, and ON the assessors
book it has been valued at only s1.50
per acre. Is it any wonder that our
Treasury is empty? And yet with these
lands assessed at less than one-fourth
their value. they object to any increase
of taxation! Make an honest assess
ment and the taxation may be reduced
instead of being increased.-The State.

we have occupied at Gorny-Dubnik,
from which the Turks, on the approach
of the Russians on the 3lst ult., with
drew during the night to Plevna. Thus
this important point has passed into our

tar Pasha and Ismail Pasha's rear
guard hastily retreated to Hassan-Kaleh
our cavalry continued the pursuit, and
two hours after midnight attacked the
enemy's bivouack. After a short
skirrnish we entered the biyouack and
cut down 100 men, and compelled the
others to take flight. The pursuit was
| continued six versts, when it was dis
continued because of the extreme fatigue
of both men and horses. At FIVE O'Clock
in the morning our cavalry occupied
Hassan-Kaleh. In the meantime other
cavalry arrived near Kurndjuk, eigh-
