The American Elections.

Washington, November 11 As a result of the American Congressional elections, the strength of the Republicans m the Senate is now sufficient to enable the party to obstruct tbe Free Silver party for years. The Republican successes m the west a;e attributed to McKinley's Philippine policy, and tbe decline of the Populisrs, The Tammany Hall pirty is inclined to omit the silver question from the democratic programme. The Plague. Vienna., November 11 No further danger from the plague is anticipated.

POSTAL ACCOMMODATION IN THE COUNTRY.

A correspondent sends us the following m regard to certain post office accommodation he has oome across :—

There are some queer post offices m the world, but I think the queerest of all I ever had the good fortune to see is one m an important country place where no small amount of correspondence passes through on several nights each week. The mail room is a conveniently and miraculously fitted up bedroom, containing a huge double bed, sometimes a rocking chair, and the delivery oounter ; also a set or pigeon holes wherein the valuables such as registered letters are carefully protected till called for. Pans of milk are occasionally set there— for the benefit of the cream doubtless. On arrival of the mail of an evening, the vulgar crowd is care fully locked out (with perhaps the exception of one or two important residents of high standing) while the sorting process is carried on as expeditious! y as possible by the " staff," which consists of the genial postmaster general, his good wife, and all the members of the family frh*t happen to be ac quainted with the fact that the " mail is m." The young folk mentioned are all ardent flthinp collectors, and should any loose stamps fall they are fought for and obtained possession of by these youthful members of the staff. Of course no stamps are ever removed from correspondence. That would never do. Post marks on envelopes are eagerly quizzed, and guesses made as to, who the probable writer of the enclosed letter may be. Of course post caras are laid on one side with the address up. How the inhabitants of this well-to-do centre can tolerate such a state of affairs beats me. But with all these little pecu liarities this is a most charming spot for a weary traveller to put up m, and if he can but accustom himself to the little ways peculiar to the place, he is fib for the next world and peace evermore;

News m Brief.

The services to-morrow at the Primitive Methodist Church will be conducted by the Rev G. H. Mann m the morning, and m the evening by Messrs Lill and Collison. Service will also be held m the Allenton school m the afternoon, when Mr Jones will preach. Mr D. Thomas holds his next horse fair on Thursday, 17th inst. Ihe entry at present comprises about seventy of all sorts. Amongst those a number of useful young draughts will be found.

Latest Items.

Stuck Up.— New culverts have recently been pat m at the junction of Pack and Moore Streetß juafc balow the Borough School, and as a matter of course the heavy rain last night made the newly filled m shingle, etc , very soft and dangerous. A butcher's horse and cart gob stuck there this morning ; the horse came down and the cart was capsized. Another driver also found himself m difficulties on the opposite side of the road. To prevent further trouble the road has been blocked with timber. No serious damage is reported. Revival of Superstition.— For Borne reason there has been a wonderful revival within the last decade of nearly every mediaeval superstitution, under various guises, m the most enlightened centres of the world. The practitioners of this modern sorcery, instead of concaaling, advertise their claims and urge them on the commu nity with pseudo scientific names and jargons. Palmistry, astrology, sympathetic magic, the doctrine of signatures, hierotherapeutica, and all the farrago of fifteenth century thaumaturgy, flourish to-day m Boston and New York, m Paris and Chicago, to a degree surpassing anything known three centuries ago.

Commerce, with its spreading wings, has traversed the globe many times, and binds nafcioDß together with the Btrong ties of mutual self-interest. Through its influence London has become the metropolis of the world, and her merchants have amasßed wealth sufficient to make them the envy of princes. Holloway's Fills and Ointment hays now become essential articles of com- merce with all parts of the world. They have effected cures which have seemed miraculous, and given relief m oomplaints when all hope had been lost. In all known diseases their success haß at all times been wonderful. In oases of disorders of the stomach, bile, liver complaint, indigestion, feverß, ague, &c, they aot like a charm, aa the cure is speedy and certain. Osaighbad & Berryman have just opened out another large shipment of new summer goods, comprising some of the most fashion- able patterns and best quality Buitings aa now worn at Home, which cannot be obtained m any other establishment io the district.— (Advt Sroofce New Venue
