Tho Elections

On Monday in this town the cleo
ton passed off very quietly, though
the unusually large vote for spring
contest eyinces considerable interest
in the result, the votes polled falling
but about two hundred below that of
q full poll at regular State and coun-
ty election. The result is a. Republi-
can victory, as usual, and as was an
ticipated. The Democrats went into
the fight without organization and
without concert of action and permit
ted the battle 10 run itself so far as
they were concerned. The Green
hackers had their electioneerers at the
polls. all day, but the result shows a
decided falling off in their vote since
last fall,
The principal excitement grew out
of the contest for OnepCouncilman and
one member of the Board of Township
Trustees, and was forced by the ultra
Temperance men declaring their pur-
pose to defeat Mr.. James Riddle for
the former and Mr.. Quincy Cook for
the latter position. This begat coun-
ter spirit of opposition among 1sepub-
licans te Mr.. Woodbridge, the fayorite
of the ultras, and the scratching went
on At famous rate, resulting in the
defeat of Mr.. Woodbridge, and the
election of c. F. Geppinger, Demo-
crat-the first Democratic Councilman
ever elected since politics were intro
duced into our village elections.
We give below the vote at the seY-
eral polls:

MANTUA.
Co rrespondence.

% TTeSpOnucnCc .
Mrs. Mary Bell (whose death was
announced last week. was the young
est daughter of the late Justus Riley,
former resident of this town, and was
born in Paris in this county, July %,
lS49. She was united in marriage
with Hiram Bell, April 9, 1868, and
for several years they resided in Paines-
vile, removing a few years ago to Sha-
lersville, where they lived until last
year, when they became residents of
Mantua. Having purchased some land
east of the Station, and built a COM
Portable house with two bright little
boys constituting their family, the fu-
ture seemed bright with promise of
many years of comfort and happiness
in a home of their own, when the
happy household was invaded by the
stern and inexorable demand of Ma
ture's laws, and beloved wife, fond
and affectionate mother, and an esti-
mable woman, was taken from our
midst, to the land immortal. A re-
lentless and fatal disease baff1ed medi-
cal skill and the untiring care and de-
votion of a sisters love, until the
weary spirit peacefully left the earthly
form, and passed onward in its unend
ing progress towards the Infinite. To
her gentle aud confiding nature, was
united sweetness of disposition and q
purity of life and character that won
the love and esteem of all who enjoyed
the pleasure of her acquaintance, and
her removal will be deeply felt by
scores of once sorrowing hearts, whose
burdens have been lifted by the cheer
ing words which so often fell from her
lips in moments of inspiration. She
was singularly endowed with those
rare and beautiful gifts-Trance and
Clairvoyance by which she was ena-
bIed to perceive and describe those
heavenly visitors from the Eden be-
you'd" who delight to linger around
those whom they never cease to love,
and of whose presence the most start
ling and convincing proof was afforded
by her me,iiumship. Her refined and
sensitive nature and her unaffected
modesty prevented her from endeavor-
ing to make public her extraordinary
gifts, yet she was known as a firm be-
lever and exponent of the truths of q
beautiful Spiritual Philosophy. At
her funeral at Mantua Station, on

PALMYRA.

Correspondence.
The Palmyra Literary Society held
its last meeting of the series of '7S and
'79, on last Friday evening. 1t was
a regular meeting, however, for which
no special preparations had been made,
though, as usual, a very enjoyable
time was had. The order of exercises
observed (the regular one) consisted of
performances in each of the three
classes. Debating, Composing and De-
claiming, fnterspersed with music
both vocal and instrumental. The per-
formances in each class were unex-
ceptionally good. The debating class
discussed, " Resolved that the people
of the United States should dispose of
their dead by cremation" E. M. Wal
Ter and ]. Davis taking the affirmative
and E. L. Wilson and Chas. Gilbert
the negative. Several quite impressive
speeches were made, while the discus
sion throughout was earnest and inter-
esting. The decision on merits of ar
and on merits of question in favor of
the negative. For much of the enter
tainment afforded, the Society is in
debted to it's excellent orchestra, of
which e. M. Waller is leader, J. F.
Bebb, second violin, L. w. Lewis,
guitar, Chas. Garfield, B fiat cornet,
and Miss Flora Jones organist. The
organization consists of some sixty of
our most intelligent young people,
nearly all of whom have been very
active and manifestly much interested
in making it q success. It has been
the source of much pleasure and i'm
provement, not only to the members
but to the people of Palmyra generally,
by whom it has been properly appre-
ciated and supported.
There has been some little agitation
in local political circles during the past
week. Both parties have held their
primary meetings and selected their
candidates for the various township
offices. It is reported that our Repub-
lican friends here have adopted a new
method of procedure. A selfconsti-
tuted committee of the aspiring ones
made out the slate, had the tickets
printed; and when the electors held
their meeting there was nothing for
them to do but to express their apprOv-
al, and tender a vote of thanks to the
individuals thus relieving them.
