The Ohio Election.

The official returns from the Ohio
election are interesting. They show
that the total vote cast this year was
$50, ,0s2, or only l,00s less than in the
severely y-contested campaign between
Hayes and Allen in 1875, and 4,O22
more than last year. The vote was
divided as follows: Republican, 274,-
l2o; Democrat, 270,966; National, 49,
322; Prohibitionist, 1914. This gives
the Republican candidate plurality
over the Democratic candidate of 3, l54.
The latter is in minority on the en-.
tire vote of 7,150, but uniting the
Democrat and National vote, and add
ing the Prohibitionist vote to the Re-
publican, (where it naturally b-longs.)
we have the soft money vote equal to
309, ,2ss, and the hard-money vote 279,
7y4, or a majority for the former OF
20, ,494 These figures must not be
ignored in reckoning the political future
of Ohio.-N. \. Times.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.
The Work OF the Wind-The Dam
ages 10 the Various SchOOls-Re-
Daira Asked for.

The Board of Education met last even
ing upon a special call of the President,
to take action upon repairing schools
damaged by the late storm
Mr.. Palmer of the committee from
No. IL, stated that part Of the roof
and fence has been blown down at said
school an IA moved that the committee
be authorized to have the repairs made
at the lowest possible rates.
The President declared the mo tion
out of order; as it eonhicted with the
law requiring estimates upon all mo-
tions for repairs made in the Board.
Mr.. Woolley asked for permission to
repair broken panes, shutters and fence
On No. 5 school.
Mr.. Grubb asked for permission to
put new tin on roof of No. IA school.
Mr.. Speakman of No. school thought
it would be a wise thing for the board
to cover the roof with felting before put
ting on the tin. 1t does good service
in absorbing all small leaks and max
ing it tighter. He thought that there
is hardly enough tin in the city to have
the school repaired right away. If
there has been as much destruction in
the cities of Chester and Philadelphia
it may be probably week or so before
the roof can be replaced. He therefore
moved the Committee be authorized to
10 cover the roof with felting at a cost
not exceeding 2 cents per foot or al00.
The committee on No II school asked
to have fences repaired at cost not ex-
ceeding $50. The request was granted.
The Committee of No. u asked for
authority to repair fence and roof of
No. Il at a cost not exceeding $500.
Mr.. Speakman went on to state the
way the roofs were put on-that they
were merely put together with carpet
lacks.
Mr.. Belts, emphatically, "the man
that put that roof on ought to be hung"
Mr.. Speakman-Well that's the way
it was done.
Mr.. Betts-He wanted another job
when he did that work.
DR.. Grimshaw thought it would be
well to postpone action on the matter,
so as to procure estimates.
This suggestion was not acceptable,
and the motion of No. II was granted.
Committee Of No. School asked per-
mission to repair roof, and have other
work done at a cost not exceeding S4OO.
Granted.
Committees of Nos. s and l6 Schools
asked permission to have fences fixed,
and other repairs made. The former
not to exceed s4S, and the latter not
exceeding $40. Granted.
Committee of No. 3 asked permission
to purchase three stay backs at cost
of ten cents each. Granted.
Col. Heisler of committee Of No. l0|
asked for proposals to repair the roof of
said school. The request was granted.
DR.. Grimshaw offered the following:
Resolved. That the various Com
mittees asking to have roofs repaired
be instructed to secure the best quality
of |. C. charcoal tin, plated IA by 20
inches, to be laid the narrow way,
cleated every 9 riches with two nails to
each clea,t tin to be painted on each
side. Contractors to take the old tin at
a fair estimate in part payment. Board
then adjourned.

The EquinOctial Gales.

These storms are generally observed
to take'place about the time of the Suns
crossing the equator when the day and
night are equal; the sun ascending six
hours and descending the same time.
This is the case twice in the year, in
Spring and Autumn. When the sun
is in this situation the horizon OF
every place is divided into two equal
parts by the circle boundary light and
darkness; hence the sun is visible every
where twelve hours, and invisible for
the same time in each twenty -four
hours. During this period it has been
usual to expect high and boisterous
winds; destrnctible alike to life and
property, and knowing as We do the
certainty of the semi-annual occurrence
of these gales; it would be well for us
not only to expect, but be fully pre-.
pared for their appearance. Our city
has Just been visited by one Of (per-
haps) the ST ongest and most destruct =
bic gales known to the oldest inhabi-
tant, and there is certainly some ex
cuse for our being partly unprepared
for our rough guest. Yet the large
number of unfinished houses that have
been demolished, the roofs (mostly TIM
that have been carried blocks away
from their fxings, the fences that have
been torn up and other damage to prop
erty, might in great measure bNve
been saved if a cautious examination
had been made, and nece, ary repairs
attended to. A hint to the wise is sufti
cieut-prepare for the next. ....

The Perry Car Coupler.


.~s~.
The Perry Car Coupler.
EDIToRs. REpUBLlcAs.-Two years and
ten months ago placed some Of the
Perry Safety Car Couplers on freight
cars of the Boston and Providence Rail
road (cast iron couplers) and they were
put on for trial only as the invention
was not considered at all complete, at
that time by myself, although many
ohers believed it to be all right. For
the two years that have been stop
ping in Wilmington have been en-
dea voring to perfect the wrought iron
coupler and with the aid Of the Edge
Moor Iron Company and their hydraul-
ic forging process, the wrought iron
coupler now stands not only ahead OF
our cast iron coupler but ahead of eve
ry thing else in the coupler line in the
entire world. ........--
The following letter ! desire to
have published, not so much to speak Of
the draw bar as to show the durability
of the life saving part, consisting of the
rods and link litter. The letter Of Mr..
Ormsb bee has very greatly surprised me
because had not thought but that the
rods AMI link litter were much more
liable to get out of order than he speaks
of. | have other letters in reference
to the same thing, yet this one letter
will be sufficient to show to my friends
that the question of durability of the
life saving part Of the invention has
been entirely satisfactorily answered.
This coupler has not only the conf
dence Of all good mechanics and rail
road men, who have seen it, of which
over one thousand have thus expressed
themselves in writing, but tack of its
superior construction it possesses his
tory Of nearly three years wherein it
has received all the hard knocks neces-
sary to show its weak points il it had
any, and yet it stands out boldly and
claims better record than can be Civ.
en- to any other freight coupler In our
draw bar, the coupling pin will last
twenty times as long as the ordinary
coupler, and will also save thousand
times as many lives. W. J. PERRY.
MANSFIELD, MASS, Oct. q, 1878.
MR. PERRY, WILMINGTON, DEL.
DEAR SlR:-Your safety car coupler
which you placed on my cabin car
about two and half years ago, is still
on the car, and in as good order as
when it was first put on, and nothing
has been broken excepting the pin
which was broken from the chain. The
rods are on, all right and are not liza.
bic to get out Of repair by ordinary
use. do not consider the coupler
complete without the rods and link
litter. The life saving part of the coup
Ter believe to be great and good
thing. The rods, fork and draw bar
are all on my car, No. 26O to-day, and
are in good order. The rods are not as
liable to get out of repair as the rods
which control the brakes.
| would say, Mr.. Perry, that the
coupler is all that you claim for it and
will here add that it is superior to any
coupler that.I have ever seen for freight
cars, ard | speak from an experience of
a number of years in which | have
been actively engaged in work for rail-
road companies, and wish you great
success and if there is any thing that
can do to assist you please let me
know. Very truly yours,
