After the result was announced, Wednesday night, the Felder men got out torches and marched over the town, shout ing and singing with Joy. Speeches were made by tbe leaders, and all went merry as u marriage bell. Mr. Glover, who received the highest number of votes cast for alderman, was very much surprised at tbe result. When the vote was announced, the boys took Tab Oliver up on their backs and marched trium phantly aronnd with him. They would have dene tho same for Joe Boney, but be was a size too large, Last night the friends of Roney and Oliver had a jollification in the court bouse, and as the writer was there, be is not prearedd to -give an extended account of it in this morning’s Recorder.

Very little ill feeling has been shown in the election, and now that it is over, everybody breathes a sigh of relief. Love’s Young Dream. Tuesday night, at a ball seven miles from Araericu™ a young couple after some bantering agreed to get married. A bridal parly was made up, and Wednesday morning they started for the city. Bets were made on the result, and it looked as if they were in dead carnc.t. At Sailer’s Mill Creek, however, the young man’s heart failed him and he backed squarely out, thus verifying the Baying that “There’s many a slip Twix the cup and tbe lip.” % 13ilbssho-v white auger *1.09, nt II.
