Considerable merrimentononeside am Munk dismay on the other, was exhibit** at the meeting of the return judges or Friday last when the presiding officei read off the district return from Lewis town, Granville and Derry. "Thatain'i right!" said one; "That's wrong," sait another; "Yet so it reads," said the chair man. All rushed forward, with mouths and eyes wide open, anil there, sure enough, in letters and figures, in black and white, Lashell had 656 votes, McFadden 523 votes. This change elected Lashell treasurer by over 100 votes, and it was at once evi dent that unless something could be done the judges could not refuse giving the cer tificate of election to Lashell and thus coni[xd McFadden to contest it, as it was clearly a case for the court to correct the error. Lawyers were called in, the thing talked over pro and con, hut those who Mig- ested a right failed to convince the return judges that they had any power to alter a plain return without a single de bet. What if all believed it wrong? lhere was the record, signed by the four judges! Iu this emergency, and in order to save 'he ciiunty from costs, Mr. Lashell agreed m writing to waive his claim to the certi ficate, whereupon the return judges gave hto Mr. McFadden. The error consisted i" giving McFadden's vote to Lashell, and the latter's to the former, and no doubt arose from the u*uai hurry of the judges to get home, and not giving the clerk* time to perform their duties, and ulso a neglect in not comparing the dis trict w ith the ward and towuship returns. Accident from a Pistol.—The danger o) firearms in the hands of children was " 'in exemplified on Saturday morning ' by the accidental discharge of a pistol ; " 'lie hands of the second son of l)r. ll' uderson, the ball from which entered cheek of his younger brother and Judged in the neck. Dr. VauValxah at tended the ease. The Miltonian Tableaux, world-wide ir the.r reputation, and which consist o startling representations from Milton'. Paradise Lost, will be exhibited in th< TOWN HALL, in this place, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings of this week. No other exhibition of the tab leau character lias attained the celebrity which this has achieved, its triumphs in the great cities attesting its surpassing ex cellence. This is an opportunity given our citizens of witnessing a work of great artistic merit, aud should not be left slip. Death of Dr. Bower.— We regret to an nounce the death of I)r. Charles Bower, which took place at Harrisburgon Friday evening. Deceased had been ill for a con siderable time, but no fears of death were entertained until within a day or two.— flis remains were taken to Newton Ham ilton on the emigrant train on Sunday morning, where they were interred in the presence of a large number of his old friends and representatives from various lodges of the Masonic fraternity. Dr. Bower leaves a wife and children to mourn an irreparable loss. Joseph It.
