Election Notes,

The Board of Canvass will meet a,
New Castle, this afternoon, to determine
The official result of the election in this
county.
For clear, compact, concise election
taDie' the GAZETTE certainly led the
wilmington papers, yesterday. 1t con-
famed full returns from every election
district Of the county, with nearly all
the totals carefully footed up. None of
the other papers gave anything like such
a satisfactory and complete table. Its
compact form, and its great convenience
were its special features of excellence.
Inc GAZETTE extra, yesterday morn
ing, was eagerly sought after by the news
boys, some of whom waited in the office
all night, SO as to get out with their
papers at the earliest possible moment.
The extras sold rapidly and an edition of
nearly 1000 was exhausted before nine
o'clock.
The general comment was that such a
quiet election as that of Tuesday last
was never before known in this State.
NO news at all of the election IN other
States was received in this city on Tues
day night, and rumor that Samuel J.
Randall had been defeated was circulat-
ed extensively causing great uneasiness
among Democrats for awhile.
Election officers and others will accent
the thanks Of the GAZETTE for so prompt
ly forwarding the returns to this office on
Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
very few negroes voted in this city on
Tuesday, and their absence from the
Seventh Ward polls was remarkable.
The Greenbackers derive great comfort
from the vote of their State ticket, which
was largely swelled by the Republicans.

HOW NEGROES ARE ALLEGED TO HAVE
ATTACKED THE wHITEs--No CAUsH
GIvEN-A REGULAR CHARGE-FIvE
NEGRoEs AND ONE WHITE MAN
WOUNDED.
NORFOLK. Va, Nov 6.
Further intelligence from the electio n
riot in Princess Anne county last night
in the majority near Kempsville, as
sembled in large body in the village
during the day and were violently har-
rangued by two notorious Incendiary
speakers-Willis Hodges and Noah
Lsmb-and all their bitter feelings were
stirred up against the whites. Soon after
the meeting the negroes began to arm
themselves with pistols and shotguns, land
after the close of the polls difficulty oc-
CURED in front of the Old hotel between
gentleman and a negro, in which each
were joined by their friends, the blacks
outnumbering the whites by at least five
TO one, the whites being entirely unarmed
aud nnprepared for any difficulty.
THE FIRST VICTIM.
The negroes commenced firing, and
Colonel w. Triggs, of Bayside, was shot
through the tlign. The whites present
We're quickly reinforced, and the negroes
retired, but in fe minutes returned to
the contest, charged in body with a
regular war yell. The charge was met
by the whites with brisk fusilade of
pistol shots. Sheriff Whitehurst arrived
and appeal to the negroes to retire, and
in response another grand charge was
made, the negroes yelling and firing their
pistols as they advanced. The whites
stood their ground and returned the fire
with effect. The negroes stood one vol
ley and then broke like sheep.
NEGROES SHOT.
One negro by the name of Thomas e.
lott, living two miles from Kempsville,
and who had on previous occasion
been conspicuous in difficulty with the
whites, was mortally wounded. -Four
other negroes were badly wounded
whose names are Abram Elliott, Irving
Griffin, Elisha White and Willis Ste.
vens.
Everything was quiet this morning, but
the negroes VINO possess arms are in d
very bad state of mind, and a slight diff.
hculty may produce another outbreak.
No arrests had been made up to the
fastest account.

LICENSES REFUSED.

The Smyrna Times says: To the sur
prise of everybody as there was no re-
monstrance the Court refused the ap-
plica'ion of l. X. Shortman, Thos. E.
Carty and A. Wallen to sell spirituous
liquors. This was more remarkable as
the court granted their application last
year over the heads of 800 names to re-
monstrance. But one of the judges is
reported to have said at the time, "Mind
gentlemen, you need not take our action
today as any criterion by which we are to
be governed in The future,,' which goes to
show that the court is not all the time in
the same mood. But. a good mood is
always preferable to bad one.

Last evening number OF ladies and
gentlemen numbering about forty couples
assembled at the res dencesof Mr.. p. b.
Vandever, in New Castle from whence
they marched to the residence of Sheriff
Grubb, and rendered him surprise.
The party were soon made to feel
themselves at home, and the night was
spent in various enjoyments. The par
ties were masked, and when the time ar
rived for unmasking, there was large
number of mutual surprises. The Sheriff
entertained the guess very handsomely.

Phenomenal Rifle Shooting.

DIR. Carver, of California, recent,
gave an exhibition of his wonderful skill
with the rife Mt Des Moines. Iowa. Hi
first feat was that of holding his rifle
upside down on the top of his head anC
hitting glass ball thrown in the air a
distance of about eighty feet from
him. He then, while lying on his back
with the rifle turned upside down, hit
ball ut the first trial. His next shot
was standing with his back to the ball,
and sighting from mirror held in from.
of him, hitting the ball the first shot.
The next shot was that of holding his
rifle on his hip without aim. Four balls
were thrown, the first two OF which he
hit, and the last two he missed Then
he attempted to hit 100 balls thrown rap
idly in the air, and succeeded in hitting
eighty-four. His next attempt was with
silver coin. Being Californian, silver
is apparently of little value with him,
and he shells it out literally for targets.
The first thrown were half-dollar pieces,
which he knocked into fragments. The
first he hit, the second he missed. and
the third he knocked out of sight
Twenty-five-centpieces were next thrown,
which he hit the fourth shot. Five half
dollars were then thrown, each of which
he hit the first time. Three were recov-
cred and two were lost. A glass ball
was then thrown about fifty feet in the
air. He loaded and shot twice at it.
breaking it the second shot.
Another ball was thrown in like snall-
ner, when he made three shots, hitting
it the third shot before it reached the
ground. This feat was probably never
equaled with rifle. Ten glass balls
We're next thrown in quick succession,
and broken in twenty seconds. From
distance of about 100 feet ball was
thrown straight at the doctor, who broke
it before it got half the distance. The
man who threw it is said to have dropped
like a stone after delivering it. A nickel
was then thrown up about thirty feet
distant, and he sent it whizzing into
space. The Doctor sent bullet through
the center of a nickel, and the coin was
recovered.
His last feat was to shoot ut balls
thrown up at the same time. He missed
the first and second, but hit one of both
balls until the eleventh and twelfth
trials, when he broke both balls. 1t is
understood that in all his double and
rapid shots he uses but one life, which
he loads every shot. II is Winches-
ter, model OF 1873, calibre A, using
forty grains of powder. He uses moth
ing but common, plain open sight.

Origin OF Lynch Law.

James Lynch was Mayor of Galway.
ireland, in 1473. He had made several
voyages to Spain, and on one occasion
brought home with him the son of a re-
spectacle Spanish merchant, named
Gomez. Walter Lynch, the only son of
the Mayor of Galway was engaged to a
beautiful young lady of good family and
fortune. Preparatory to the nuptials
the Mayor gave splendid entertain
ment, at which young Lynch fancied
his intended bride viewed his Spanish
friend with too much regard. He ac-
cused his beloved Agnes of unfaithful-
ness to him, and she, irritated at his
injustice. disdained to deny the charge,
and they parted iu anger. On the fol-
lowing night, while Walter Lynch slowly
passed the residence of Agnes, he OBJ
served young Gomez to leave the house,
he having been invited by her father to
spend that evening with him. In the
madness of jealousy, Lynch rushed on
his unsuspecting friend, who fled to n
solitary quarter of the town near the
shore. Lynch maintained the pursuit
till his victim had nearly reached the
waters edge, when he overlook him,
and stabbed him TO the heart, and threw
the body into the sea. which cast it back
again on the shore, where it was found
and recognized on the following morn
ing. The wretched murderer surien-
dered himself, and his father being chief
magistrate of the town, intrusted with
the power of life and death. found him
self obliged to condemn his son TO death.
On the night preceding his execution,
his mother went to the heads of her fam
lily and prevailed on them to attempt a
rescue. The morning of the execution
an immense crowd had assembled, who
cried loudly for mercy to the culprit.
The Mayor exhorted them to submit to
the laws; but, finding them determined
on rescue, he, by desperate victory,
overcame parental feelings, and, finding
that his efforts to accomplish the enos
of iustico in the usual place, and by the
usual hands, were fruitless, he became
executioner himself, and from the win
dow OF his own house launched his I'M
fortunate son into eternity.

Our Wool Trade.

The United States produces 100, 000,-
900 pounds of wool "a year, just half of
what Germany produces, and 25, 600, 600
pounds less than either Russia or
Frarce. Great Britain produces 260,-
100000 pounds; Spain, Italy and Portu-
gal together produce no more than
we singly. Altogether, the world
produces about 10000 900 pounds
of wool, of which Europe gives
one half. Wool is the principal
product of Australia, and it has
made her cities larger than New Or
leans. Ohio has G, 100000 sheep, which
could all be grazed in the Laramie val
ley alone. Buenos Ayres has rs, 600, 600
head of sheep. The great plains of
America will ultimately supply the
mass of wool for the world.

commercial prosperity OF man? An inferior

OF this principle are the family medicines Of Il.

OF superior merit, they have outrivaled all other
medicines. Their sale in the United States
alone exceeds one million dollars per annum,
while the amount exported foots up to several
hundred thousand more. No business could
grew to such gigantic proportions and rest upon
any other basis than that OF merit. 1t Is safe
to say that no medicine or combination OF medi-

with DIR. Perce's Golden Medical Discovery, for
