In Andover no republican votes were counted, the ballots being thrown out as illegal because the words ito fill vacancy" followed the name of a candidate. It is openly asserted that this was part of a scheme put up to defeat the party. A few republicans to secure the benefit of minority representation took democratic tickets and wrote in the names of their candidates, but these were not declared elected, only two selectmen being return ed. It is queer wrangle, thanks to the vague ballot law in force. These officers were elected: Town clerk, F. A. Sack cit; selectmen, NJ. $. Topliff, D. F. Web ster; assessors, R. E. Phelps, d., H. G.

TOWN ELECTIONS.

It has been many years since the repub- licans have carried the town of Stafford at the town election by clear majority. In one or two instances, by reason of some local difficulty, the board has been divid- ed, but the town has, on the whole, given democratic majority. The vote of Mon- day on auditors, fair test of strength, was republican, 3S6; democratic, 36O. The town voted no license by Al majority, in face of unusual effort to obtain differ ent result. The vote, about 736, we think was the largest ever cast in a town elec- tion. Below is the result of Mondays election

(FOr The Press.) THINGS IN THE WELL.

How Lonesome it looks Round the low cottage door, Though the we'll curb stand there, And the bucket swings lower Yet we all miss the water, For the we'll has run dry. Come give a glance downward, There's nothing but loam Take it all back, Here's an old broken comb, And newspaper rack, A couple of dippers, A pair of steel nippers, That Tom, in his carelessness, Dropped down the well.
 Oh, the dear empty well,
 The treasure-trove we'll,
 The hygienic well,
 Cool water return. Oh, spring and water course, Lend all of your aid, To fill up our well, For we've cleaned out it's bed Of some big Jumps of lead, A new missing" spoon, And 6 rusty old skillet, So long with grease We've wanted to fill it. And we will excuse
 A bit of light laughter. If the secret you'll keep, Now and hereafter Toms improvement in health, So precious a thing Is because he mas drank From this mineral spring!'
 Oh, the dear empty well,
 The tLeasure-trove well, s- The dryest old well,
 Pure water return. Chestnut Hill. MARIE BARBER.

The Good Samaritan.

'~H~----~----~--S
 "And it came to pass as certain man journeyed from the cradle to the grave, he fell among saloon keepers, who robbed him of his money, ruined his good name, destroyed his reason, and then kicked him out worse than dead. A moderate drinker came that way, and when he saw him, he said He is but @ dog-they served him right. Let him die; he is but a curse to his family And also license voter came that way, and when he saw him he said The brute! Put ball and chain on his leg and work him on the street. And a fanatic teetotaler came that way, and when he saw him he took compassion on him, and raised him up, assisted him to his home, and ministered to his wants and the wants of his family: got him to sign the pledge, and started him on his journey in comfort and happi- ness. Whom, think you, was the greater friend to humanity-the saloon-keepers, the moderate drinker, the license voter, or the fanatic teetotaler ?'-ReU. Ge0rge 4. Gordon,
 Mrs. Joseph Cook has prepared an eff fectual and valuable leaflet on temperance work in mission fields. She presents the extent and results of the rum-trade with native races, the efforts of the w. c. T.. U. in missionary fields and the temper ance work of the missionaries themselves. The millions of Africa, Asia and Oceani- ca have survived through their previous freedom from distilled liquors. But the Hindu youth are taking to them, and one of the strongest objections of high-caste to Christianity is that it permits drink. The greatest guilt occurs from the African rum trade. The negroes have so linked Christianity in their thought ! with their rum traffic that, if Bishop Fay Tor may be believed, there is rum-facto- ry in Liberia which the natives call 'tThe FGood Jesus Factory" The w. c. T. U. has sent eight missionaries around the world to form local unions in the missions for the promotion of total abstinence. 1 The American success of it's school-books on temperance has caused "Health For Little Folks" to be translated into Fin. nish, "The Child's Health-Primer'' into Chinese and Hawaiian, and Hygiene Fol Young People" into Japanese, Norwegian
