There was an absence of \ the usual “ citizens,” “ firemens” and o ther’ , split tickets ■which have of late years be- 10 00 ^ come so regular, and the straight Democrat- 10 00 ' ic and Republican tickets monopolized the . OQ ! claims of the voters, though in the nomina- I ting conventions politics ivere hardly con- '* ' sidered, and both ^tickets presented the names as candidates of those who have ac ted in opposition to the party by whom they were nominated. The day was a rainy one, and but little interest Avas manifested at the polls, the attendance being far less than usual. The trustees selected for the ensuing term a r e j i l e s s r s . Gray, Murphy, and Hornbeck. For Collector, O. P. Johnson was elect ed without opposition. The selection is an adfelrabie one, and will give general satis faction to the public.

The room in Walsh’s building, which is to be opened as a music store by Messrs. Healy A Greenleaf, Avill in a few daj's be ready for its occupants. Those gentlemen intend keeping on hand a large assortment of all the latest and most jiopul^' music, both vocal and instruinental; musical in strumenls of all descriptions, piano stools and covens, and in fact everything com prised in a first clas.s music store. The}\ will endeavor to make their store the musi cal center of this section, and one that Avill be a credit to our village. In opening this store, Messrs. Healy A Greenleaf sup^fiy a want long felt in this place; a village in Avbich there is as much musical t'alent to X \ v « l£ o y s X a l v c a Jl.iong- W a l K . Monday morning, tAVO young boys aged about six and ten years, sons of Mr. Charles Marvin, concluded they would like to visit their grandmother ivho lives at SIiaAvangunk, over the mountain, so telling their mother they wished to go, and she consenting, supposing of course tlieir re quest Avas simply in jest, they started. Hotliing Avas thought of tlieir absence un til noon; but as tlie}' did not return, and their parents becoming greatly alarmed, Mr. Erastus Slauson started after them w.ith a carriage. They Avere seen about ten o’clock near the coal pockets Avallting up the track. We understood they Avalked as far as Guymard, but there concluded to return, and were met near Huguenot by Mr. Slauson who brought them home. A'Aranip K illed Near tTliddletown. A tramp was struck by extra train 35, engine Ho, 30L and instantly killed Wed- Resday eve. about 7 o’clock, one half jhile West of Middletown. He was walking between the tracks, and Avas seen by the engineer and fireman Avho did all in their power to attract his attention; but be did not notice the approach of the train until Avithin a few feet of him, Avhen he stepped in front of the engine which passed over him cutting his head entirely o2, and mangling his body in a fearful manner. Coroner Little Avas notified, and Avill hold an inquest at nine o’clock this morn ing. The unfortunate man had in the af ternoon been drinking sour beer, Avhich was in a barrel on the freight platform. Two of his companions Avere arrested but a short time before, and Avill probably ident ify the body to-day. IFcmalc illinstrcii«. The performance given last evening at the Opera House by Blanche Estelle’s Fe male Minstrels met Avith a very good au dience ; the gallery being especially well Some parts of the programme Avere ex ceedingly Avell rendered. Howard and Hayden sustained their reputation as first class clog dancers and song and dance men, and W. J . Mills in his character song “ Old Uncle Pete” was especially good. The troupe Avill remain here to-night and to- morroAV night, giving a matinee to-mprrow afternoon, an entire cliange of programme being given each performance. The man agers Avish us to state that there Avill be no vulgarity AVhateA'er at either of these per formances. An Injunction Servert. About two Avgeks ago it was announced in these columns that an injunction had been granted by Judge Barnard, in the suit of James Horbury vs- the Water Commission ers of the village of MiddletOAvn, restrain ing the defendants from diverting the wa ters of the Sliawangunk Kill i supplying the Middletown Avater-works. This injunction Avas granted in the pen dency of a suit for damages against the village, on. the allegation that the plaintiff’s mill property on the Kill had been dam aged by the diversion of the Avaters of the creek. Sheriff Hoyt came to MiddletOAvu Thurs day- morning, and served copies of the or der of the Court on the W ater Commis sioners and the village authorities— Argus. Compliiuentary JBcncfit. A complimentary benefit Avill be given td Mark Nutting, Friday evening, April 14th, by tlie members of the Delaware and Neversink Social Clubs. Everything Avill be done to make this—Avhich Avill probably be the last hop of the season—a success in every particular, and as Mr. Nutting has ahvays accommo dated these clubs in every Avay in his power, and has ever' been faithful to their interests, it is to be hoped that all interested Avill do OA'erytbing in their power to make the hop an entire'success. Democratic Convention. -At the Democratic Caucus held at Gordon’s Hotel Wednesday eve. for the pur pose of electing delegates to attend the Oon- veution at the Taylor House Middletown, Saturday, April 8th, for the purpose of boast of as there is in Port Jervis ought to t*lccting three delegates to represent the ^ ,.c ...,4,...:^ .4.^.7 flisI.riPt in f.IiA of TTfioo contain a store where the sale of music and musical instruments is a specialty, and the effort on the part of these gentlemen to supply this Avaiit Avill no doubt be highly appreciated; therefore Ave predict for them a deserved success.
