The report of the death Of William H !.
johnson, Esq, of Copper Hill late Sur
rogate of our County, which occurred last
Friday morning, was an unexpected one
20 the people of our village. Only q day
before, it was reported and we were glad
to learn, that he was improving and ex-
pected in few days to be able 10 resume
his duties at Pennington, but to the sur
prise of all the Angel of Death came at
an early hour on Friday morning.
We were greatly pleased to see in our
village and take by the hand again, our
much respected friend, John w. Young,
ESQ, who spent last Sabbath at his home
here. Mr.. Young is in the employ of the
Pullman Palace Car Co., as Conductor,
and during the past few weeks, has been
running between Pittsburgh and Louis
vile, KY, passing through Cincinnati
and other important points of Ohio. We
learn from him that while at Louisville,
he visited the Exposition at that time in
progress there and was much interested
and pleased with the many exhibits he
saw there. He speaks in pleasing terms
of the city of Louisville, and says the
streets are wide and the handsome resi-
dences have large, beautiful yards in front
of them. Although not as fieshy as when
he lived among us, yet we are glad to hear
him say that his health is good and he
feels robust and hearty. Mr.. Young has
fine position and we extend to him our
best wishes for his safety and success IN
it. We hope our village may be favored
with longer visit from him before many
weeks pass by.
Last Tuesdays election was an unusu-
ally quiet and peaceable one in our vii
lage. The hoodlum and rowdy element
that are generally present on such occa-
sions, to render them lively and disorder
ly, were noticeably absent on the above
day, and the peace aud quietude of our
village left undisturbed. In great con-
trast was this election to the last Demo
cratic caucus, held here and in fact, to all
the caucuses held in our village by that
party during the past few years. II these
caucuses could be conducted in as proper
and orderly manner as the late election,
our township might lose tho notorious
reputation it has gained, as place where
different forms of bulldozing, bribery,
drunkenness aud other kinds of disorder.
ly conduct take place but to the credit
of our village, be it said, that all such
disturbances are caused by the inhabitants
of other parts of our township, principally
the mountain portion of it, and that on,
citizens oppose and lend every possible
aid to prevent such disreputable scenes.
A fair vote was polled on Tuesday, al
though there seemed to be no interest in
the election. The Republicans were evil
IDENTIFY the least interested in the issues
and consequently many of them remained
at home. As result of such apathy, the
township gave an unusually large Demo
cratic majority. The majorities are as
follows Albeit, Al Voorhees,, 40 Rob
bins, lat. POP.
