certainly none within our recollection,
caused as much interest as did that of
yesterday. The interest hinged princi-
pally upon the offices Of school director
and high constable. James Donaghy filled
the last named position hOnOrably and
faithfully for thirty-iiye years and
retired because Of old age dis
qualifying him for the Office in his Opin-
ion. There were six who thought po-
liceman's lot 4 happy lot, and waged a
bitter canvass throughout the day. 1t
went on until midnight when the result
was made known and many staid up to get
the news, which is as follows: Bur-
gesss, Z N Grcider, $50; Judge, NJ.

streams, but the damage was slight. An
