A general invitation is extended. Tuesday, election day, was ono of the pleasantest ever known in the history of the country. Providcnce sniiled, you see, upon the republicans, and they returned the eompliment by rolling up a glorious maority for the right side. Upon the occasion of the scvcntli anni versary of the young people's association of the Presbyterian church, last Sunday even ing, Kev. Dr. Steele dolivered the annual ad dress. The effort is highly spoken of, ant a large audience was assembled. Next week we will give tables with complete returns for the whole county. It is impo8sible to give accurate figures this week, and so do not lumber up our columns with estimated returns which would stand a fair chanco of being completely changed. Pittsfield pulled up nobly for the republicans. K. B. Clark, for clerk, had 151 majority, and E. N. Gilbert for register, had 110. Mr. Clark also went out of this city with 370 majority, and Mr. Gilbert out of Ypsilanti with 132. All remarkably good runs.

Last Tuesday Mrs. Emanuel Mann fell out of her chair, and expired inimediatcly thereafter. Cause of the death, supposed to have been heart disease. She was 50 years o!d, and had beeu a resident of this city 44 years. She leaves a family, all arrived at man's estáte, and a large circle of friends who will niourn her loss. Mr. Mann is one of our prominent citizens and recieves much sympathy in his affliction. R. F. Talman, of Detroit, is in the city, in the interest of the telephone company of that city, endeavoring to work up an exchange for this city. The plan is to place a central office with connections for private and business houses, offices, etc. Lansing, Kalamazoo and Adrián have recently decided to have this new and convenient method of comtnunication establibhed. A month of lowry and sometimes gloomy weather, yet Uctober, just passed, has bee i on the whole, quite a welcome month. There was no very cold weather, aud very Hule frost. The farmers have been enabled to accomplish their fall work in an admirable marmer, secure their fruit and vegetable crops in an excellent condition, and do their husking out-o'-doors. All this bas been of great benefit. ?? GirU ! iris ! Leap year rapidly draws to a close ! Your time for properly popping the question to the adorable being wliotn you idolize is nearly atan end.

A portioo of the crowd in the court house Tuesday evening to li.sten to tho telcgraphio report8, could be com pared to nothing elso but the " gallery godn " in the opera house. They yelled, pushed, and jammed, and actcd more like a pack of wild hyenas thao like oivilized beings, and damaged I lic. seatH and oiher f'urnituro to a considerable extent. If they ilidn't like tlie complexion of the reporte, they ought to have been decent over it. The genuine - not ono of the many " origináis" - Tennesseans, are to give a concert at the Methodist church in this city, on the 27th of November. This troupe is oomposed of singer who have gained for thenuelve in all arls of thiH country and Kurope an enviible reputation. Thoy will be well worth hearing, and thu bare announcement of their coming will be Miflicient to draw a full houHe. ¦- - There is one thiüg which a man running for offioe is obliged to submit to, which is tosay the least, abominable, and that is the constant blecding by dead beats. Last Tuesday evening we noticed sevcral men who had been working for a certain candidate, using what little effort they could for his election the entire day, step into the place of business of the man whotu they had opposed, and cheekily ask for cigars. " or ten cents to buy somethin' with." And what was true in thia one instance was true in many others. Both parties are troubled with this class of men. If the candidatos upon both tickets would unite, and resolve to pay noattention to this class of dead beats, but let theui earn their drinks and cigars by honest toil or go without, one siep in the direction of purifying our politics would be taken, aud a great atep, too. As it ia at present, election time is a harvest for the buiumer and plug-ugly element, and the candidates are never beiiofitted to any appreciable extent by kal they give them. The people of this city were somewhat ubilant over the resul', of Tuesday's elecáons.and on Wednesday evening assetubled n front ol the court house to "jubílate." fhere must have been some 3,000 or 4,000 people in the crowd. The band discoursed patriotic airs, and students sang Keveral songs, some of them being patriotic and borne oí them perhaps not exactly appropriate to the occasion, but all good, justthe 'me. Fireworks also added to the attractiona of the occasion, while the burning of red light in various places surronnding the quare, the glare of bontires, and tbe illumnation of the Chandler house front, all ended to make the occasion a jolly and noisy one. At 7:30 o'clock Hon. A. J. Sawyer called the muliitude to order from he court house atepa, on the aouth front, and spoke a few congratulatroy words. He was followed by Prof. Adama, and Prof. P. Wilson, the latter being remarkably ïappy in his utterances. At about 9 'clock the gathering dispersed, all happy, 11 jolly, all willing to take everybody by he hand and shake for an hour or two continuously. The greatest satisfaction waa manifest on all sides over the results, nd no such enthusiasm bas been ehown ïere since war times.
