LOCAL ELECTIONS.
The Democratic City Ticket Elected
with Two Exceptions.
Town Elections.

The election in this city on Tues
day last resulted in u victory for
the entire Democratic ticket with
the exception of the candidates for
alderman and constablem the First
ward. The defeat of Mr.. Sy lvoster
and Mr.. Healey was due TO the fact
that their election was II garded as
certain, and, consequently, but little
work was done for them ut the
polls; while strong efforts to defeat
them were put forth by the friends
Of their opponents.
Mayor Smith was reelected by q
BY a majority Of one hundred and
forty-three. Supt. NanDusen was
reelected by majority Of one hun
dred and cighty-seven, which can
be taken rs a pretty strong endorse
ment Of the manner in which he has
discharged the duties of his office
during the past year.
Following is the result of the
vote:

The Buzby Crane.

There was good deal of excitement up
around Spring Mill lately over the Buzby
Patent Crane and Derrick. The machine
was invented by Buzby for the purpose of
unloading canal boats, and he claimed for it
that with a man and a mule, and boy to
drive the mule, he could take load out of
a boat and whlZz it ashore in almost less
than no time.
When Buzby had set up the machine he
asked us all down to see how it worked.
Hitched to the single tree of the pole was a
very large and fat mouse colored mule,
which seemed to be asleep. The duty de
volving upon that mule was to march
around circle pulling the pole after him.
When every thing was ready Buzby
ordered the boy to stalt the mule. The
mule appeared still lingering in the land of
dreams. The boy hit the mule with a
stick, and the man on the boat emitted
some horrible epithets descriptive OF the
mules fearful peculiarities. Result con-
tinued quiescence on the part of the animal.
Then Buzby rushed up and bombarded the
ribs of the mule with couple of bricks,
while the man on the boat, having recover
ed his wind, breathed forth dozen or two
assorted adjectives of peculiarly offensive
nature But the mule was either thinking
of the events of its past life or meditating
deeply on the uncertainties. of the future,
for he remained perfectly calm.
Then the man on the boat, beside him.
self with rage, secured pitchfork, and
leaping ashore with, venomOus criticisms on
the eccentricities of mules streaming from
his mouth, prodded the animal fiercelY with
the prongs. This seemed to attract the
mules attention, for he laid back his ears
and kicked the man eight feet away plump
into the river. When the man emerged,
dripping, he referred to the mules conduct
in some observations which were not more
distinguished for their intense energy than
for their picturesque variety of metaphor.
When he Was pacified, and persuaded
from numbering the mule, Buzby sent up
to the store and purchased pack of fire.
crackers. The boy was placed on the
mules back, and he crept slowly to the
rear, when he reached over and tied the
crackers to the tail. When he had dis
mounted, Buzby fixed cigar to long
stick and ignited the pack.
A very animated explosion followed /;
but the mule manifested no interest in the
proceedings, excepting that he lifted his

Fool Friends

Nothing hurts man, nothing hurts a
| party, so terribly as fool friends
A fool friend is the sower of bad news,
of SANDER, and all base and unpleasant
things.
Afool friend always knows every mean
thing that has been said against you and
against the party.
He always know where your party
is losing, and the other is making large
gains.
He always tell you of the good luck your
enemy has had.
He implicitly belives every story against
you, and kindly suspects your defence.
A fool friend is always full of kind of
stupid candor.
He is so candid that he always believes
the statement of ali enemy.
He never suspects anything on your
side
Nothing peases him like being shocked
by horrible news concerning some good
man.
He never denies lie unless it is in your
favor.
He is always finding fault with his
party and is continually begging pardon
IoE noI DclOnSlIlS 10 tue OtneT Slue.
He is frightfully anxious that all can
didates should stand well with the opposi-
ton.
He is forever seeing the..faults of his
party and the virtues of the other.
He generally shows his candor by
scratching his ticket.
He always searches every nook and cor
ner of his conscience to find a reason for
deserting friend or principle.
In the moment of victory he Is magma
nimously on the other side In defeat he
consoles you by repeating prophecies made
after the event.
The fool friend regards your reputation
as common property, and as common
prey for all the vultures, hyenas and
