The regular township election took
place at the hotel in Ringoes last Tues.
day The usual number of votes were
not polled, although the contest seemed
very lively and exciting The Republican
ticket was successful, with the exception
of Assessor, Collector and Justice of the
Peace-the latter's opponent having with
drawn from the fight on the morning of
the election. 1t has been quite number
Of years since the Republicans of this
township could rejoice. over a general VIC
tory, and although not entirely successful
this time. yet they now wear the pleasant
countenances formerly worn by members
of the opposite party. and exhibit the in
dependence of mad dog, and with tones
of thunder exclaim, Wen make clean
sweep of them next time !" The defeat
ed candidates are not quite as friendly
and asthetically- fiowery" as they
were prior TO the election, but they en-
those qualities, as they take bird's-eye
view and catch an occasional glimpse Of
the beauties and honors of the Legisla-
ture, one of whose msmbers during the
next session shall be resident OF this
township, provided the Democratic party
is successful. The defeat of some of these
candidates at the last election has caused
a wave of fear to pass over their former
calm and peaceful bosoms, and they for
the first time speculate and wonder con-
corning their chances for the nomination
of Assemblyman. Some still remain in
despair and MOURN their loss, while others
inhale noble breath of pure air and be-
gin anew their race of honor, with victory
perched upon their cleaning banners and
IA lap.dog at their heels. Woe be unto
some of these fellows for on the day fol-
lowing the Democratic caucus, when they /
awake from their peaceful slumbers and T
legislative dreams, and hear the sad words 1
Of fate read unto them with tears in their
eyes, and pocket.books filled with Temp
illness" they will be led to exclaim, 80,
friends, you have departed from me, and
lorsaken is my lot. Oh, that had wings
to fly to the mountains OF Africa or to the
halls of legislation =
The final meeting of the singing school
Of this place for the season occurred last
Friday evening. Duets, quartettss, full
,horuses, &C., were rendered in pleasing
style and with perfect case and grace, by
select members Of tho class and by the
class at large. A number of difficult
pieces were among tho number, and the
way in which they were handled by the
lass show that great advancement has
oeep made by all of them in tho art of
music. The room was comfortably filled
with listeners, who showed heirapprecia-
ion of the occasion by the earnest atten-
ion they gave to the various exercises.
This singing school has been pleasant
md profitable society to its attendants, |
md we have no doubt that great benefit
will ensue from its teachings.
