WHO rs ELECTED !?

Recent developments show that the
Inspectors of Election in the town 81
Pleasant Prairie made q slight clerical
error in their return to the County
| Board, by which it appears that nj. A.
Baker only received III votes at the
late election, when in fact he received
|117. The ballots which have all been
preserved show 1T votes and several
of the inspectors and clerks distinctly
remember that to have been the num-
Der set down on the Tough draft or
tally sheet first made. In copying the
totals from this rough draft to the
printed return the clerk mistook the
last figure and wrote it one instead Of
seven, thus changing the entire result
of the election in regard to that office
1t thus appears that Mr.. Baker was
honestly elected to the Office by clear
majority of four, and is justly emit tied
to it. The County Board however,
have granted a certificate to MI
Hayes, who now claims the office by
virtue of this certificate and refuses to
relinquish it, MI. Baker asking only
his just rights has determined to con
test the matter and to that end will
commence immediate proceedings. En-
inent counsel have been retained on
both sides and a struggle will I'M
doubtedly be the result. It will thus
be seen that one more of the Republi-
can ticket has been elected even
though by mistake he is for q time de-
barred from his office.

Domestic Troubles IN High Life

The following fragment Of a private

Gates very plainly the domestic troubles
that cloud her skies;
II am having the hardest time try
ing to keep peace in the family. My
mother in-law is just one Of the dearest
OF women, but she and papa have fallen
out about something and are quarrel
ing so dreadfully that even the neighbors
are beginning to talk about it. am so
mortified and distressed I don't like to
go out Of the house. Papa is dreadfullv
angry, and seems to forget that my
husbands mother is woman, and says
if she tries to meddle with his affairs
he'll break every bone in her body. And
my poor, dear husband is Sc tormented
and badgered between their quarreling
| and my weeping, he is almost crazy.
He has gone away in his ship, and says
he is afraid if pa doesn't talk more re-
spectiully to his mama, he will pound
st. Petersburg down about his ears. And
when Brother Nicholas heard OF it, he
said, il my husband came tooling round
there, he'd put a torpedo under his old
mud scow that would hump him over
the moon. Oh, | am so miserable. It
is dreadful way to live. The other
day one of the Edinburg's sisters looked
very hard at me, right at the dinner
table, and said that between the rats
and the Russians one couldn't keep a
candle about the house long enough to
light it, and the very next day got a
box from Brother Alexis, with letter,
requesting me to distribute the contents
among my husbands family, with his
compliments. And I supposed it was a
peace Offering of some kind, and called
all the family in to see it opened, and,
what do you think? It contained about
bushel and half Of wooden 'H's.'
Such scene. Mama was so angry she
had peace meeting called in the park
right away. and five men were pounded
nearly to death, and all the windows in
the streets were broken in three min

The letter Var.

The fervent charity whose passion tor
dong good ''endureth all things" was
illustrated by a pathetic scene at tenn
perance meeting held in Bloomfield, n.
j. A half-intoxicated man interrupted
the speaker, and the indignant audience
shouted, "Put him out!'
Mo, mol" exclaimed Rev. Mr.. Simons;
"don't put him out! Let him sit by me-
I'll take care of HIM"
The audience acquiesced, the drunken
mai took seat by the clergymau's side,
and the speaker went on with his address.
The poor inebriate paid good attention,
and joined heartily in the singing, which
was led by an excellent cornet-player
Suddenly, the clergyman, placing his
hand kindly on the mans shoulder. said,
"Let us pray" Both knelt, while in gentle
tones the minister bcsought Goas pity
and help for his erriDg brother. Drunk
as he was, the man was touched, and tears
trickled down his flushed checks.
Were they tears Of that pentence which
bringeth forth fruit? We know not but we
do know that both the poor drunkard and
the audience went away from the hall with
a clearer idea than they had had of the
apostles words, 'And above all things
have iervent charity among yourselves;
for charity will cover the multitude Of
sins.''
