Then arose one Frrd!arnum one

is a meeting open for discussion it
is hoped that all present will ex-
press their minds us to the best way
to secure the above named object.
Then one of the mighty men call
ed Henry the. LIST. arose and said :
Ye know this town is very large,
and that it is a long distance from
this village TO the centre. Now if
the town can be induced to build us
IL house, we are all right.
Then William arose and said :

Then arose one Jonesman aud

place. and if it had not been for
the "dimijon' | should have been
where our "great reforme" is at the

thing that can save us.
Then Tom. Joe. Walter, and 9th

man, we are with you.
Then Henry the LIST spoke again.
We must get few outside of this
village to help us or we are dished,

Then William spoke again. l

therefore cast lots; and the lot fell

N. H. CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND.
MENTs. Returns,have been receiv.
ed and tabulated at the office of
the Secretary of State from all but
about 20 towns and wards of the
vote upon the constitutional amend.
ments. The vote runs unevenly
upon the different questions sub.
mitted and generally does not ex.
coed 10000, showing that only
about half of those who went to the
polls voted upon the amendments
1t is evident that nearly all of the
amendments have been adopted,
including the seventh, abolishing
the religious test as a qualification
for office. The aggregate vote on
this question so far as received is
yeas 26,205 and nays 1868. The
returns yet to come in will probably
increase the majority for it. The
first question which is compile
ment of the seventh. and which
strikes out the word Protestant
from the bill of rights, is most like.
ly defeated by a few hundred votes.
On the first question the counties of
Stanford, Carroll, Hilsborough,
Cheshire and Coos had the requisite
twO-thirdS vote and the counties of
Sullivan and Grafton were nearly
evenly divided. On the seventh
question the counties of Stanford,
Merrimack. Hillsborough, Cheshire
and Coos have given the requisite
two thirds vote, and Rockingham
and Carroll counties came very near
to it. Grafton county voted strong
against the first and seventh ques.
tons. In places where the amend
ments where discussed the vote was
very strong for the first and seventh
amendments. The cities all voted
heavily for them.
