The election, with its attendant
confusion and excitement is over
aud the results known. Although
We have been beaten, the result is
not dlscouraging. 1t demonstrates
hey Vnd doubt, that with a thor
ough organization and an active
canvass, Barbour county can be
made Democratic. In the con-
ilict just ended, the Republicans
had a decided advantage in or.
ganization, and were more active
IN bringing out voters than their
antagonists. Many Democrats,
accepting defeat in advance, re-
NAMED at home on election day,
and the canvass of votes by the
Commissioners, demonstrates the
criminal folly OF such Incidence.
Two additional votes would have
elected the County Clerk, and q
very few more. each of the other
officers. The lesson should not
be forgotten. Those who are
Democrats everY day Of the year
but ONE, and that one election
day, need "bOrning again" Let
US hope that they have seen the
error Of their ways. Be it re-
membered that henceiorth this
county is Democratic, and that
with candidates who are good
men, success may be made GER
tam.

They have, SO far, developed Chin

On Saturday. morning last, as the

attention was called to his appearance
and ON examining him he was found to
be dead. 1t is supposed he was taken

was sent up the river six miles to

were expecting to meet their husband

his cold remains were there. Capt.
Stump was one of the first men 10
navigate Snake river, and has been
long in the employ of those owning
and running steamers on the upper
Columbia and Snake rivers, and gen
orally acknowledged to be the best ac-
quaintcd with the channel. He was
full of steady nerve in all difficult and
dangerous waters, and gave his orders
with as much GOODNESS as though no
danger was near by He enjoyed the
confidence and respect of all who ever
travelled upon his boat, and the COM
pany in whose employ he was, will find
it difficult to fill his place.

A Phenomenon in the Firmament.

At 7 o'clock on the evening Of the 7th inst,
Richmond, Va, was visited by heavy show
er followed by remarkable phenomenon.
The whole armament was lit up by continu-
Gus electrical FLASHES, ccompanied by peals
of thunder. This display lasted until about
10 minutes before sunset, when the lower and
heavier masses of clouds passed away to the
southwest. leaving a solid and unbroken layer
above. The rain had ceased and at this june
ture the whole of the clouded heavens to the
north became brilliantly illuminated, as if
the northern lights had suddenly appeared
behind the murkv vapors. From the dark
ness Immediately before, the transition being
almost instantaneous, the city became re-
splendent in gorgeous light, resembling that
produced by red fire on the stage of a theatre.
People rushed from the houses into the street,
and gazed with wonder and awe on the start
ling and beautiful spectacle. The illumina-
tign lasted fully eight or nine minutes, and,
as its centre appeared to be where the comet
| is located at that hour, many hazarded the
conjectur that the fiery visitor had suddenly
| flown from its course and was rapidly de-
scending to mother earth. When the moment
arrived, however. for the sun to dip behind
| the western horizon, the crimson glare van
ished, and Richmond became enveloped in
darkness more intense than that which had
preceded the imposing heavenly exhibition.
