THE LATEST.

New York, New Jersey and other foreign countries concerning which little has been known during the past two days not having been heard from with absolute accuracy the country must wait yet a little longer before greeting its new ruler. The returns received up to this writing 6 a. m.) have been too conflicting for the most impartial mind to sift out the actual figures, and it would bs wise man indeed that could indicate the exact truth. Especially com .plieated are the reports from New York, whose electoral vote it now seems certain will be the final determining factor, and un- til the influences, whatever they may be, that are conducting to ths mysterious backward ness of the returns have ceased to compicate the situation, neither party can lay claim with any confidence to the victory.
 Our latest dispatches point to 50 small plurality either way that the absolute official count would seem to be necessary to finally settle the result That conclusive figures, official or otherwise, may soon be at hand is the sincere wish of all who have at heart the best interests of their country.

A Frnft-Aor1ng Deg.

James Hogan, of Danbury, is the owner ot a Mexican terrier. The peculiarity of this breed of dogs is that their bodies are not GOV cred with hair, but are smooth and much the color of rat Winnie, for such is her name, possesses the most beautiful eyes imaginable, being peculiar shade of green She is pre- pared to swim, for, duck-like, she is web footed. But the strangest part of this ami nal is her appetite and love for fruit She will eat watermelons, tomatoes, apples, pears, oranges, dates, etc., and seems to relish them all equally well, with perhaps preference for watermelons. Although constantly in the fruit store of her master she will not touch anything till given to her out of her masters hand. Winnie is, of course, a great pet and valued at $100.-Danbury News.
