Were Refused Registration.
Much comment has been heard re-
lgarding the refusal of the registrars Of
the Northern district to register two
men from Farnhurst on Saturday last.
THE men, who are employed by the
county made every effort to reach tie
registration place before the time for
lclosing, o'clock, had been reached.
lThey had just reached the window
when the bell of ST. Peters Church
rang for Z o'clock and the registration
Officers refused to place their names
on the list claiming that the time had
lexpired. This caused much indignation
lamong the men who declare that they
will have to be sent for before they at
tempt to register again. Both men are
said to be Democrats.
Wrong Location on Card.
Considerable talk has been created
! by the appearance Of political cards
with the name of Pierce Gould upon
them as candidate for prothonotary
from New Castle hundred, when as a
matter of fact he is not a resident
nor voter Of the said hundred. The mis-
> take is explained in the fact that Mr..
Gould took the card of another candi-
date for office from New Castle hun
dred to the printer and requested that
he should use II as copy, inserting his
Mr.. Gould shame in place of the other
candidate and also change the name OF
the office sought. This was done but
the words of New Castle hundred re-
mained. 1t is said another candidate
made a similar blunder and had to
have all his cards reprinted. Mr.
4 Gould's name appears In the papers
also as from New Castle hundred.
