As predicted in The TRIBUNE several days ago,
the local election in this city yesterday
the closest contest ever recorded in its
history. 1t was known that the principal fight
would be, far the county ticket con-
cerned, on the vote for Register and Aldermen. and
it was supposed that the figures on these
candidates would also fairly indicate the
vote for Marine Judges. The figures already
received indicate that Loew has been elected
by a majority of 5000. Nothing relative to the
Marine Judges and Aldemcn-at-large, which can
be considered conclusive, has come 10 hand in time
for the present edition Of me TRIBUNE, but the

1t has been Of late proposed TO raise
By public subscription enough TO ena-
bic Mr.. Evarts TO hold the office OF Sec
retaiy Of State without damage to his
private interest. One If the best fea-
lures i'm any such measure would be TO
abolish his Vermont farm, which is said
to exhaust the best part Of his income.
He has 10 head Of cattle, 200 sheep, 10
horses and 25 swine. The extent OF
land is 500 acres. Last year 200 tons OF
hay were cut, costing the proprietor not
much more than double the market
price. More than 1900 bushels OF corn
were raised at an estimated loss OF %
cents pound. and therefore ought to
be Of good quality. His pork is esti-
mated at 20 cents pound, and chick
ems 50 a pair. As long as he has 70
support this establishment Mr.. Evarts
will not be able 10 serve the nation as
Secretary Of State without liberal sub
scription.
Beecher last year raised about $1,000
bushels Of onions on his Peekskill farm.
They cost him $3.50 bushel, according
IL estimate, and as the market in this
city was 81 any one can see how much
he made. Beecher can send beef to the
New York market at 80 cents pound,
and can raise oats al as low q mark as
q a bushel. His butter is reckoned at
Sl.25 pound and his eggs at % cents
a dozen. He cleared S4O,oOO by lee
turing last winter, and II he maintains
such an income he will be able TO con-
tinue farming. NJ.
Cough lectures five times week, MS
fee being 5000. lie has farm at
Worcester, which III one time contained
us acres. He has no children, but his
expenses are very heavy, and to bring
matters in a snug shape he sold part
OF his land and reduced the farm 70 10
acres. which is as extensive rs MS In
come will admit. A few years ago his
wife. who was Yankee girl. undertook
TO raise fancy fowls, which some say are
very profitable. She got up = very nice
variety, and at rather reasonable ex-
pense, for the Shanghais did not cost
more than S75 pair. The Cochin
