ALL true disciples of Isaac Walton,
will be gratiGed to learn that a lot of
d. 1000 trout was received here last week
from the State fish hatcheries at Madi-
son. The initial moves which led to
the reception. of this invoice, were made
by Mr.. j. j. Oswald, who was promptly
on hand to receive them. These pro-
spective food for the sportsmen's line,
we're all in good order, and when drop
ped back into their native element
darted off in a vigorous manner. Two
cans were placed in Austin's branch,
one in the CIubb spring, one in tho
Suck spring west Of town, and the
other in an equally good location. If
carefully looked after and new importa-
lions made each year, the streams in
this vicinity viii offer some rare sport
to trout fishers hereafter.

City Election.

Tuesday was field day and the city
election brought out the clans in full
force. Considerable opposition was
expressed to the plan laid down in the
caucus the night before, of separating
the offices of Mayor and Supervisor
The more the matter was handled over,
the warmer it became. Unfortunately
for the members of the opposition, if
they wished to succeed, dissension
arose rs to the best way to accomplish
their object of beating the game. As
the multitude are not usually gifted
with the power of political second
sight, this fact renamed, for the time
being, hidden behind the vail of the
future and consequently every man was
found with an opinion and ticket to
fit it. Nor were the regulars in
much better shape. In point of fact
there was not a single straight ticket in
the field. All sides were in good wind
by the time the polls opened and toed
the scratch with alacrity, but few
hours indulgence in chin music laid out
the majority, leaving only the heavy
weights who had recovered their second
wind, to cary on the encounter. High
and loud waged the waves of battle un-
til in the lengthening hours of the after
noon the enormity of their mistake was
forced upon the minds of the opposi-
ton, and they wilted, and thereafter
failed to show their usual celebrity in
assisting the unfortunate voter to make
up his mind which combination of the
alphabet he wanted to have the privilege
of putting in the ballot box
Time and tide wait for no man, and
the declining sun put the seal of its
fiery fingers upon the ballot box and
the fight. The opposing forces con-
cludcd an armistice, the wounded were
removed to the hospitals, and the rents
in damaged characters were hastily
stitched up in order to enable the own
ers to participate in the count. The
numerous tickets in the field made this
matter of an hour or two. The first
noticeable thing was the large number
of votes cast, the poll sheets showing
that two hundred and seventeen citi-
zens had done their duty during the
day. Finally the whole matter was
sifted and tabulated as follows:
FOR MAYOR.
l.. Holloway, 143; C. ii. Baxter, II
Scattering, 2,
| FOR ALDERMAN.
II. V. Showalter, PIC; G. Huntemer,
2ll; j. J. McKinsie, 1860. K. Thomas
l45; Ed. NJ. Lowry II; S. Mitchell 50
Scattering, 2.
FOR SUPERVISOR.
3. G. Clark. lis; c. H. Baxter. 81
l.. Holloway, 40.
As MIR. Holloway had previously ex
pressed his intention of not qualifying
if simply elected as Mayor, the re
suit of this election, SO far as tina
office is concerned, would appear Il
present the contradictory phase of dc
feating its object. However it is HOPED
that he will reconsider his decision
and accept the Office which he is Sc
well qualified to fill. The four Alder
men receiving the highest number o.
votes, as will be seen, were Messrs
Showalter, Huntemer, McKinsie and
Thomas. OF these the first three will
certainly qualify and Mr. Thomas NAV
possibly do the same in Difference te
wishes of friends, but for the present
it is hard forccasting futures.

The extensive sickess of this term has
had a tendency to discourage both teach
ers and students; and it is quite possible
that some mediate stopping for the Ie-
mainder of the term, because they have
got behind their classes. This would be a
serious mistake, for they would thereby
double their loss instead of trying to re-
pair it, and overtaking their grade. Stu
dents who are absent from any exami-
nations will be required to pass those
examinations or 60 back into a lower
class when they enter. The idea Of
quitting now and commencing anew
next term is based upon fallacy. If
any, through the Encouragement of sick
ness,propose to quit school permanently,
we have only now to say that they will
surely regret it in the future.
