JI1E ELECTION IN COLUMBIA
COUNTY.
By ihe official return it appears thai
bfioiit 3,200 votes were polled al the late
flection, This is 2,000 btlow a full vote of
this county, and accounts for the euull ma
jori'.ies given for the Democraiiri ticket. Ai
the Presidential eduction in 1S41 the ntun
brr of votes given was 5,108, and the rut 111
her in 1815 for Assembly roan, at a tight
election, wts4.C05. l?y a careful compa
rison nf the votes in 1841 sd J in 1316 by
townaliijis, ('excluding Mahoning and Va!
ly froip the computation,) we ascertain that
ho Whigs gave this year within about 400
of their full vote in ihe county, and the De
moriats within about 1000, allowing only p
my slight increased vote. The weigh', of
the Whig vote in the county lies in the
townships along the river, and could be
giv n at ihid election in 6pife of ihe storm;
vhilcihe weight of the Democratic vote
lies loallcreJ in the townshipi. Over one
half of the wlole Wh'g vote was given at
the polls in the (owns of Danville, Catta
wiFsa, U!oonat urg and Berwick 1
Ti e only aprccuWe defection amnng
Dctnocruts from the ticket, was in Maho
ning and Valley, where thfte existed great
diepntifrfaction with the county nomination?
from the fact that all the candidates for olfi
ops of importance w ere temovjl men. The
ftcding in ll.is tounty upon ihe local quee
linn could not be ncppclfd to subside im
mediately, but the ticket generally received
about CO votes more than we expected in
Mahnucg. and Liberty did nobly undei
the circumstances.
On the whole we are satisfied that Whig
gery has no just cause fr exultation ovci
the result in this county, and that at full
elections in 1S47 and 1818 our fcrmei De
tnocraiicj nujoriiies will be maintained at
Icat, and quite probhbly incrfiifpd
Bcdow we give a statement of the vole
for each candidate, and v calculation of tin
aajoriiies. It will be notffrd '.hat FuBifi
received within 100 votes of the avenge
vote for the Democratic ticket, while Power
ran 52 votea abo-.c Butler. Dr. Lcib ran
bbuui 50 voles ahead of the Democratic tic

I was suddenly divrricd from my con

fill of heavy rain drops, s ihe prelutle ol
an impending shower. Seeing a gale open
md hearing a familiar clinking behind the
hedge, I stepped through into a linln black
smith's shop, about 11s large as an American
onuke house for curing bacon. The first
iljecl that ,ny eyes restetl upon, was a full
grown man, nine years of age, and nearly
three feet high.petche d upon a stone of hull
that heighth, lo raise his hreatt 10 tlie level
of his father's anvil, at which he vas at
work, with all ihe vigor of Ins little arrm,
making nails. I say a full-grown man, for
I ftjsr he can r.evtrgrow any larger, physi

ance seemed to inspire him, by a pleasant
wortl or two of greeting, his flesh fell case
hurtled into all the indur-nion of toiling man
