Two items in the ARGUS last week

amount of fish brought in by the tugs,

A new style of cartridge belt de-
signed to be used by the State Militia,
has been received by Col. q. S. Brown,
and meets with the approval of that
experienced military gentleman. The

majority of 115 votes over Spencer
O. Fisher. the Democratic candidate.
There is yet one thing more to do,
and that is for Mr.. Fisher to contest
the election. II is duty that Mr..
Fisher owes the many thousand Dem
ocrats, who voted for him, to cause an |
investigation to be made into the man
ner in which the Tenth Congressional
