put it in the fire and then proceeded 10 turn
molten lead into the other end intending
that it should run down against the clay, cool
and form plug. In moment the heat con-
verted the moisture in the clay into steam,
forcing out a mass of lead which struck the
Frenchman between the ball of the right eye
and outer rim of socket and passed through
to just behind the ear, where an irregular
shaped piece of lead an inch and half long
and as big round as little finger was taken
out His ingenuity nearly cost him his life.

The November Elections.
NEW YORK.

New York, November Z. Latest returns
to-day from sixty counties of this State show
| that all the republican State ticket, with the
exception of Soule, for State Engineer, are
elected.
The Times says Hoskins majority over
Potter is 100 for Lieutenant Governor
Wadsworth has 5000 majority over Olcott for
Controller; Carr nearly the same ajority
over Beach for Secretary of State. The
Senate will stand - republicans to demo-
Gratis, and the assembly "a republicans to "a
democrats.
The Albany Journals latest returns give
lloskins 1000 maj ority over Potter.
The republican State committee claim the
the election of Hoskins, 1t. Governor. The
democrats, on the contrary, still claim Pot
ter's election for 1t. Governor; Beach, Sec
rotary of State; Mackin, State Treasurer;
and Seymour, State Engineer; but acknowl-
edge doubt as to the election of Comptrol-
Ter and Attorney General
The Herald says it looks at present as
though Potter and Seymour had been elected
by small majorities, but the vote on the State
ticket from 1t. Gov. down is so close that
it will probably take the official count to de-
termine it,
The Suns returns give majority of 2l62
for Potter for 1t. Governor. The figures
may be diminished by official returns, enough
to elect Eoskins, but the democrats still
claim Patter's election, and with seemingly
good reason. The election of Horatio Sey-
mour, Jr., as democratic State Engineer and
Surveyor, seems to be conceded by both
parties. The best that can be said of the
other candidates is that the vote is in doubt,
with chances in favor of Wadsworth's cleo
ton as comptroller on the republican ticket
and Wards as attorney general.
General Cars friends urge that he is run
ming enough ahead of his ticket to ensure his
election as Secretary of State.
The race between Mackin and and Wen
dell for treasurer, is very close, and the
result greatly in doubt.
ALBANY, November Z. The Evening Jour
nal has additional returns on the State ticket,
and figures Potter's (dcm.) majority for 1t.
Governor at 342. 1t says the returns gen.
orally indicate that Carr, Secretary Of State,
Wadsworth, Comptroller, Wendell. Treas
urer, and Ward, Attorney General, all repub-
licans, are considerably ahead, and probably
elected by 2O00 to 5000 majority.
The Argus, (dem.) estimates Cornell's
plurality at 1882, Potters majority 1856
and claims the remainder of the State officers
by less majorties than Potters.
The Express, (rep.) estimates Cornell's
apparent majority ut 1858, and Hoskins APP
parent majority at 249.
