Cinehivatti Enquirer,
The official returns of the Ohio f lec
tion are not yet published, but the majori
ties for Gov. Mays will doubtless bo up
wards of 8,000. and the legislature is K?-
puhliean in both branches by a bare ma
jority. This insures the ratification of
tho 15th amendment, rejected by the Leg
Mature ol last year.
Cheerful Peoi-i.e, God blesa the
cheerful persons ! man, woman or child
old or young, illitterate or educated, hand
some or homely. Over and above every
other social trait stands cheerfulness.
What the sun is to nature what God is
to the stricken heart which knows how
to lean upon Him. are cheerful persons
in the house and by tho wayside. They
go unobtrusively, unconsciously about
their silent mission, brightening up society
around them with the happiness beaming
from their faces. Wo love to sit near them ;
we love tho glance of their eye, the tone
their voice. Little children find them
out, oh ! so quickly amid the deusest crowd,
and, passing by the knitted brow and com.,
pressde lip, glide near and, laying a confi
ding little head on their knee, lift their
clear young eyes to those ling faces.
Murder In Clean. A colorod man by
the name of Baker was murdered in Olean
on the morning of Saturday, the 2d inst.,
about 3 o'clock A. M. Tho murderer is a
man by the name of liurdick, a desperate
character, who has resided in that village for
the past two or three years. It seems that
Baker was returning home, in company with
his wife and another woman, from a party
in the werlern part of the village. On their
way met as they supposed Burdick with
a cart apparently with apples. Baket
stopped to ascertain positively who it was,
while the women proceeded towards home.
In a short time the women heard wlnt was
apparently an altercation between the men,
lollowed by two or threo reports from a pis
tol, they hurried back and found Baker
lying in the road mortally wouuded, but en
tirely conscions. He lived only a few min
utes, but before his death stated that
Burdick shot him. Burdick was subse
quently arrested and is now confiucd in
jail at Little Valley.

POWERFUL Sl'RING WATER.
A Calufornia paper relates the following .
About two week's since a geDtleman of
Watsonville, who is noted as a practical jo
ker, went to the Gilroy Hot Springs, siuated
about fiif'teen miles from Gilroy ."Alter re
maining a few days he got aboard the stage
'o return to Gilroy, having an outside seat.
The stage had not proceeded more than five
miles before tones of distress were heard
proceeding from within. The driver hauled
up' when a Mrs. ,who mas a passenger
and who made herself rather obuoxiou to
the visitors at the Springs by certain "airy"
ways, informed the driver that she must
have an outside scat, as she was getting sick.
Our Watsonville friend gave up his seat to
the lady. As he was getting inside the la
dy informed him that she had two bottles
of spring water on the seat she had just left
which she was taking to her husbaud in
r'anfrancisco, and bogpd S to takegood
care of them. "All iight,".said S ,and
away went the stage again. Our frieud,
true to his proclivities, procured a bottle of
whiskey, and takiug tho corks from the
bottles containing the spring water, poured
half tho water from each bottle, and tilled
them up again with whisky, while the pas
sengers wore convulsed with laughter. In
due time the following letter was received by
the proprietors at the springs from the la
dy's Jnisband :
"San Francisco, August 30 Proprie
tors Rot Springs : You are a precious set
of seanjps! My wife, Mrs. ,paid a vis
it to your confounJed place and brought
back somo ''spring waiter." I drank about
half a bottle of the miserable Fluff and went
to tho Good Templers, and hadn't been in
the hall more than fifteen minutes before 1
was as drunk as any man you ever saw, dis
graced myself and lodye, and this morning
I am on a sick bed. My, opinion is, that
any set of men who will run an institution
of this kind ought to be soused into hot
water sprincs until life is extiaet.

Louisville, October 17. A disgrace
ful shooting affair occured at TaylorsviH,
Warnock county, Indiana, on Sunday, re
sulting iu the death of two if Dot three men.
Tho dificulty was between two men named
Springston on tho one side and two named
Clark on the other, in which Harvy Spring
ston was killed and his biother Abe so bad
ly wounded that he died soon afterward.
Harvy Spiinstoo was recently pardoned out
of the puuiteiitiary. The dificulty origina
ted in a dispute about the settlement of
some accounts. Shortly after the shootiif,
a number of the citizens, who compose a
selt.conatituted vigilance committee, pro
ceeded, armed and equipped, to the resi
dence of Moses llice, wko had been warned
to leave by the 2(kU iust.. and fired several
shots, which frightened him so that he
cleared out in a hurry, leaving the neigh
borhood, lno bpringstous are said to be
long to the vigilance committee. Another
of the llices, who had been warned to leave
but paid no attention to the warning, was
found dead iu thte woodg shot, and the
Whitingshills, father and son, who refused
to take any part either for or against the
committee were ordered to leave the neigh
hood. A terrible state of affairs exists. A
law-abiding people seem to be paralyzed.
Pat's Stock. Pat Donahue was "a
broth of a boy," right from the Gem of the
Sea " and had a small contract on the Con
way llailroad in New Hampshire, in the
year of grace, 1855, in which he agreed to
take his pay, part in cash, part in bonds,
part in stock. Tho stock of this ro.id, be
it remembered like many others was
not worth a "continental" and has always
kept up its value With remarkable unni
lormity. In due time, Pat, having comple
ted his job, presented himself nt tho trasu
reis' nffioo for settlement. The money,
tho bonds, and tho certificate of stock were
soon in his possession.
"And what is it now?" said Pat, flurish.
ing his certificate of stook, bearing the
"broad seal" of the company.
"Thut is your stack, sir," blandly replied
the treasurer.
"And is this what I'm to git' fur mo
labor? Wasn't mo contiact for the
sthock ?"
"Why certainly, that is your stock
what did you expect?
''What did I expect ?" said Tat, exci
tedly. "Why pigs, and shape, nnd horses,

The Advocate. After disappearing
from our sight for some time, has appeared
again, not changing its political views nor
the size of the paper, but simply chanced
hands. It is well known to the subscribers
of this paper that, for the lat year,
it was Edited by Mr. Gould, except the
last six weeks of his term, tho most impor
tant time in the whole year we were with,
out tho paper, and no arrangements being
made with any ono to publish the paper,
until the actual necessity of the county
printiug which had to be done. There
being uo one willing to take charge of the
office, it was agreed that I should publish
tho paper for one year. Of course this was
a large thing to accomplish, as I only hn 1
three days notice of the large Shciilf's
sales, belore they had to be in priut. Help
was hard to find and when I did obtain it,
found the office in a adly deranged condi
tion, with soma of the materials gone, and
a portion of the type to set up for the paper.
It will take at leant two or three weeks to
get the paper arrcnged to suit the publish
er. I suppose the subscribers are looking
for a half sheet paper, but that is played out.
Hereafter tho pajer will bo issued once
a week, giving all of the general and local
news of the county ; also foreign news
and o'.hor important items that will tnako it
interesting to all of its readers.
