A perusal of the above table shows that the entire non-partisan ticket, with the single exception of councllman-st- large, was elected. Royal A. Jonnson, the independent candidate, defeated Robt. T. Millar.
 All the officers elected are, of course, well known to our citizens, and the vote cast IS demonstration of the fact that their residence among us has gained for them 6 flatterIng confidence. Henry Buehman, as mayor, for the past two years has made record which was certainly acceptable to the people, for they have entrusted him again with the burdens of tue office.
 Royal A. Johnson will carry into the office of councilman at large, a fund of experience and an interest in the city's office
 The efficiency of Chas. T. Cornell, in the administration of the affairs of the city recordes's office, has been sppre- ciated by hls selection as his own suc- cessor. He has made good officer and wall do so again.
 Frank s. Treat received the heaviest majority on the ticket, and will make an assessor ln whsm every one will have perfect confidence.
 The treasurer's office will be filled by very worthy and exemplary young man, Harry Drschmsp, whose qualifics- tons and hebits are fully up to the stsndard.
 Under the efficlent management of G. W. Oakee, the city will have an active and wide-awake pc lice force which will guarantee ihe fullest observance of the laws and the very best possible police regulations.
 NJ. P. Dodge will represent the first ward, ID the city council, having defeat ed Gust. A. Hoff for that office.
 George Pusch. with a majority of three over his oppor ens, R. G. Brady, is councilman from the second ward.
 The complete list of officers is one which recommends itself to our ctizsns by it's worth, and there is certainly no fault to be found.

Mound Builders at Black Strap.

Strap monument, near West Falmouth
This monument was erected by D. III.
Furnish some forty years ago and is now
owned by the ]. B. Brown heirs. From
the county of Cumberland. The Allan
tic ocean, Casco bay, with its islands, the
valley of the Presumpsoot and Piscata-
qua rivers, Sebago and Duck Pond, White
mountains and other noted localities in
the state Of Maine, are all plainly visi-
ument is a mound of earth put there by
the mound builders of early time. The
builders were before the time of written
history. These silent witnesses
(mounds) tell all the story of these peo-
pie that is accessible to US. They may
have been erected thousands of years be-
fore the present time. In this state there
are but few of these mounds In the
state Of Tennessee and adjoining statoa
their numbers are large. On MACK Patch,
East Tennessee, hill several hundred
feet nigh is one, which is tho highest in the
locality that know of. Around it's base
] found stone arrows, and near by stone
axes. This tract comprises 1000 acres of
the best land / ever saw in America and
if it could have been procured with a
clear title l would have owned it. From
Maok's Patch one of the best views in
the state can be had. For years some of
the best minds in the United States have
considered the surroundings and con-
tents of these ereotions, but have arrived
at no definite conclusion. Perhaps those
on higher localities were for religious
purposes, or they may have been for sig
nal stations.
Every yeur am strongly inclined to
the opinion that hundreds of generations
of people we'll educated for their times
have inhabited America. They filled that
station which they were destined for and
passed away leaving no written history
and were succeeded by others
