The other six states, viz: Mas- sachusetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa are enti- tled to 75 electors, voted for the Radicals. But to give the reader a bird's eye view of the party result in 1883, we give the names of all the states, together with the number of electors to which each state is entitled under the new Electoral Col- lege, viz: DEMOCRATIC, REFUBEICAN, 23{New Hampshire 13 I Massachusetts HConnecticut 4 Pennsylvania 12|Rhode Island SiMinnesota......... 12, Wisconsin, 10 Colorado ane 15!

It will be observed from the foregoing that the Democrats have a majority of 99 in the Electoral College, but if Dorsey, Jrady & Co. would steal Indiana and New York, as they did in 1880, the elec- tion would go against us, that would give our opponents 202 Electors, one more than they would need. How- ever we do not think they will purchase those states again. But President Ar- thur and the Post Mastersiand Revenue agents were pooling their interests with Gen. Mahone, to steal Virginia, And they had the scheme well under way, but the people on the 6th instant “bust- ed up’ the scheme and “the government” must turn its attention to some other state for 1884. The New York Sun puts up Holman and Hewitt for the 1884 ticket. ma —— totems The awards of contracts on the Harrie barg and Western railroad for the tan- nels known to be let, for which proposals were received some time ago, are as fol- lows: because The Allegheny mountain tunnel was given to Charles McFadden, jr, of Phila delphia. Work for clearing the ap proaches was to begin immediately. The Sidling hill tacnel was awarded to Ro gers & O'brien, of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. This is the longest tunnel on the road, its length being 6,650 feet. The Ray's hill tunnel was given to M"Mahon, Shan- ahan & Green, of Virginia. This tunnel is 3,620 feet iong. Active work on the two last named tunnels has already be gun, There is at last a seitled confidence that the Southern Pennsylvania, or Harriss burg and Western, or the Vanderbilt line, by whichever name it may be call. ed, is a fixed matter and that the road will be pushed to an early completion. a —— a —- The Middleburg Post has an idea the RerorTER's rooster should not have been out the week of the election.

It is evident that some people are not acquainted with the wonderful recuperative powers of Ben Batler. Some 25 years ago, as Benjamin was passing along Washington street, in Boston, a large five-story granite front building fell on him. He arose from the debris, wiped his eyes with a silk hande kerchief, and remarked to some of the bystanders : “The dust in these streets is perfectly awful ; more attention should be paid to sprinkling.” With this he passed around the corner and disappear- ed. That was a quarter of a century ago, Mr. Butler was more buoyant and elastic than now. Bat he is a tough, malleable citizen yet. stm A SY West Lebanou, Indiana county, was the scene, on Baturday evening, 10, of a brutal double murder. Wm. Samer, an old and respected citizen, had an alterca- tion with his son Joseph about putting a kitten out of the house, when the son drew a revolver and shot his father in the hip. The old man then fled bot, was followed by his son, who fired a second shot, the bullet crashing through the fa- ther's brain, killing him instantly.

Troubles of a very serious nature have sprung up be tween the management and pupils of the state normal college, and the state board of educa- tion has been appealed to to settle the dif- ficulty. A majority of the male members of the junior and senior classes became dis. satisfied with Chancellor Stearns’ manage ment of the college, declaring that certain branches not enumerated in the catalogue to be studied are taught, and that they are’ charged too much for the use of books. The students prepared two memorials to the state board of education and asked to have them read be- fore that body. They set forth the dissatis- fsfaction of the students The board heard the memorials and requested Dr. Stearns to answer the charges made. Dr. Stearns is at present absent from the city and it is thought he is now in consultation with the board of trustees of the Peabody fund at Baltimore. cus Sad Ending of a Bridal Tour, Corvmavs, Ga, Nov, 12. -On October 16 Mr. J.
