From the returns as far as received, it sppears that the Republican majority for Govarnor in Now Hampshire, will be somewhat loss then it was last year. Last year, Haile Republican, bad a majority over Cate, of 5,192.

Goodwin will probably have a majority over Cate of about 8,000. The diminution this year is attributable to the uncommon storm of election day, and to the great outlay of money and effort to help the democratio canse. the Stateman, since the existence of the State as an independent member of the Union, were such extraordinary exertions put forth in behalf of candidates for Congress, in labor and money, as in the First and Second Districts. Money in the utmost abundance was freely distributed in the before-mentioned Congres: sional Districts, and all the machinery ever put in motion in an election canvass has had fall play, through which to defeat Men Marston and Tappen. But thanks to the determination of the gallant Republicans of Now Hampshire, the purposes of the Demooratio party have been signally defeated, and the Repablicans emerge in triumph from one of the most important election conflicts of the last four years.

An hour was much more agreeably spent in visiting the State Library, a fine collection. But there is scarcely anything more bewildering to one who doss not come for some definite purpose- to consult some particular to look at such place. So many books smile at Jou on every hand, ready and willing to be read, 60 many that you would like to read, that probably you throw down the catalogue in despair, and flee from the place.

There are some suriosities in this library well worth looking st. A valuable collection of coins will repay one who is curious in such matters.

But even an inexperienced observer could not fail to be struck with the order and arrangement of the rooms, and the beauty of many of the specimens. The upper room of the building is entirely Alled with a collection of stuffed animals and birds, owned partly by the State, and partly by Mr. Hursts the taxidermist, whose rooms are in the lower story.

stuffed and mounted, the birds look at you from the cases, most of them perched quietly, but here and there one, with extended: wings, as if just taking fight. They were all so beautifal, that I can hardly tell which tracted my attention most, The collection of animals is much smaller. group of young panther cubs st play, and another, panther and half-grown cab, pulling down a white fawn, were very well and naturally arranged. There were, also, sakes, toads and Ashes, preserved in spirits, but I did not spend much time in looking at them. The only other place worthy of especial mention which I visited, was Palmer's Studio.

BOTH SIDES.

A man in his carriage was riding along, A gaily dressed wife by his side In satin and laces she looked like a queen, And he like a king in his pride. A wood-sawyer stood on the street as they passed, The carriage and couple he eyed, And said, as he worked with his saw on log, "I wish I was rich and could ride." The man in the carriage remarked to his thing I would give if I couldI would give all my wealth for the strength and the health Of the man who saweth the wood."

There were 72 of us in all. We had but one guest. This was M. De Tocqueville, who had then rendered himself famous by his great work upon Democracy in America. During the festivities of the evening after the cloth had been removed, and speechifying had commenced, some gentleman alluded en passant to the fact that he was born in Connecticut.

Connect-de-coot!" exclaimed Monsieur De Tocqueville, as he suddenly rose with the enthusiasm of a Frenchman. Vy I vill tell you, vid the permission of de president of this festival von very leetal story, and then I vill give you von grond sentiment, to dat little State you call Connect-de-coot.

And then ven I vas in de gallery of the house of de Senat, I find de Constitution permit Connect-de-coot to send two of his boys to represent him in dat legislature. But vonce more, ven I make de acquaintance personelle of de Senator, I find dat nine of de Senator vas born in Connect-decoot.

This is by no means a new discovery. The ancients named the month of February, when their spring recommended, began, from februm, a fever, and wisely as a preparative for the heats summer, judicious exercise, light diet, and the full and free use of water. Prof. Holloway, the distinguished English practitioner, has done something more than this. He has discovered and introduced two remedies for all the derangements incident to a change of temperature, which have saved the lives of thousands of unacclimated travellers and sojourners, in every region between the equator and the poles.

When a sudden transliver ition from cold to heat produces dyspepsia, HOLLOWAY's complaint, Pills fever, diarrhea or dysentery, seem to subdue the disturbance in the system at once and to bring its functions into harmony with the new atmospheric influences oy which it is sur. rounded. Where the shock occasioned by the change affects the skin or gland Ointment, in combination with the Pills, soon puts the external organization into a healthy condition. Under these circumstances. common prudence suggests the propriety of having both remedies always at hand at the commencement the summer, and of providing a supply of them before starting on a journey or voyage.

this and autumn are, un questionably, the seasons most prejudicial to health, and therefore nothing should then be undone that will have the effect of fortifying blood, and bracing up the system, purifying and putting the digestive apparatus in working order. So far as our observation Pills will infallibly secure these results. Families who have habitually used them for years as a Spring, Summer and Fall medicine, declare that complete exemption from the complaints usual at those seasons has been the invariable consequence of their exhibition. This we can readily believe, knowing as we do, that they exercise a triple infuence upon the internal organs They purify the fluids, remove obstructions, and invigorate the digestive powers. There are few systems so healthy as not to require such helps to Nature at this critical period of the year, and it is therefore obvious that 4 course of HOLLOW Pills is proper, as a protective Boston Journal."
