The average majority of the Union State Ticket, in this county, is about 390. The majorities of the Union County Ticket vary from 268 to 430. "As Marietta goes, so goes the county." Marietta Tp. gave Cox a majority of 388- just his majority in the county. Metgs Co. gives 900 Union maj. The Democrats carry Ross County by 178 majority, and the Unionists the District by 93 majority. Mount Vernon, Morgan's place of residence, gave Cox a majority of 284-- Union gain 60. Oleaginous. A torpedo for oil mining purposes has been invented, the design whereof "is to shatter, laterally the rock by which it is surrounded, opening fissures on all sides for a distance of several feet. and inevitably breaking into or opening communication with any deposits of oil that may lie within reach of the explosion." The Moorehead Oil Co., are sinking a shaft 6 by 8 feet, on the Rayley farm, near Macksburg. They are already down 45 ft. The intention is to go 60 feet. and then mine laterally. Fifteen barrels of oil have already been gathered. It bids fair to be a great success. At a distance of about 500 feet from the shaft they are sinking a well which is now 625 feet deep with a good show of oil. Buckeye State Petroleum Co., vs. Wm. Crumbley. In this case the Court of Common Pleas, held at its present session, that the sinking of a conductor to the rock, within the time limited for commencement, was a good commencement under a lease, requiring excavating and boring- when followed by work in good faith. Ewart & Shaw, for PIff's- M.D. Follet, for defence. PARLOR MATCHES. - House Keepers and every body else who use a match, will be particularly delighted with this article. It has three qualities which place it ahead of all others yet produced, and we only need mention them to convince the public of their great superiority. These are no suffocating fumes, an instantaneous and brilliant light, and no failure. They are for sale a Winchester's Bookstore. Our citizens can now have the "latest news" to digest with their coffee, by sending to Winchester's for the Daily Cincinnati Times, which is received at 6 o'clock in the morning. TEACHER'S INSTITUTE- An energetic effort is being made by the Teachers of Marietta to have a Teachers' Institute held in this city, the same to commence Oct. 24th, and end Oct. 27th. While we do not propose to make this a partizan paper we cannot resist the temptation to tell a first rate joke which happened at one of the polls in this city, on Tuesday last. A good butcher who had been complaining seriously that if the Union ticket was elected negro's would be permitted to vote, stepped up to a venerable man who held in his hand a Union ticket, and said to him, "Mr. - here's a ticket printed on different paper." "Oh," said Mr- "this suits me" "Yes, but" reiterated he of the meat market, "this is printed on different paper." This is the whitest," replies Mr._ as he handed his "Union State Ticket" to the Judge. Still another excellent one occurred at the same polls. A gentleman of undoubted Morgan proclivities, who had been reading a Cox ticket and had jocularly pronounced the same to be a "disunion ticket," extended it towards the judge, who, supposing that it was his vote, took it and made a deposit thereof in the ballot-box, at the same time calling the name of the voter. "That's not my vote!" exclaimed Mr.- at the same time looking like "death on a pale horse" "How can it be fixed?" was the question that immediately followed. "By refusing to count one Union ticket," said the voter. But alas, for him, the inexorable law gives no discretion to the judge, and the ticket had to be counted. The ticket once deposited became an inevitable joke. Although a loss to the voter, the incident created considerable amusement throughout the city, among men of all parties. It's bad enough to have good poetry thrust anonymously into an editor's face; but when such maudlin stuff as that signed "J" is received, we must pass it by in disgust. As a sample, we give the following extract_ "Reader can you tell me of some quiet place Some lovely vale with brooklet mnmuring lo, Where willows ore its mossie banks are bent, Some quiet place where I can go And in sweet peace can bilde my lovely tent." There, isn't that splendid? Lest our readers should be unable to comply with "J's" request, we would suggest that about as quiet a place as he or she (as "J's" case may be,) could find would he the shores of Accokeek creek in Virginia. It's a nice little "brooklet" filled with pollywoggles, bull-frogs, water-snakes, eels, dead horses, mules and "sich.: True, no -Willows ore its mossie banks are bent," but there are an immense number of huge pine stumps standing around, which cast their protracted shadows far into the stream - that is as far as they can get for the width thereof. Go, "J." go! A couple of relics of the rebellion may be seen at Winchester's Bookstore. One of them is a large card containing printed rules and regulations of the infamous prison pen at Andersonville, Georgia, signed "H. Wirz, Capt. commanding Prison," which was captured from Wirz's office, by Capt W.C. Buck, of this city, then a prisoner, when the whole rebel gang skedadled on the approach of Wilson's raiders. The other is a lithographed fac-simile copy of a little paper printed with a pen, by our prisoners at Camp Ford, Tyler, Texas, during the weary hours of imprisonment in 1864. Both of them should find a place in our College library. MASONIC.- The "free and accepted" gentlemen are the most industrious portion of our citizens. They meet again to-night at the Hall on Front street, for "work," and they want all the "brethren" in town to help them. We don't know whether this invitation is on the principle that "many hands make light work," or not, and we are afraid they won't let us in to see. PICK POCKETS carried on their business pretty extensively at the Menagerie. We have heard of one gentleman who lost two hundred and fifty dollars. This is the second time within a few weeks that he has been unfortunate in losing money. Another person, whose name we did not learn, was mulcted in the sum of one hundred and fifty-five dollars. A third lost his pocketbook, but fortunately had nothing in it--- People should be careful how they visit crowded places, with either money or jewelry, as they invariably run a great risk. On Thursday next "Palace" Sleeping Cars will be attached to the night train on the M. & C. R. R. C.W. Hall will be one of the conductors--- a good appointment.
