The Result in. this and Surround- ing Municipalities. It is many a year since a more interest- ing municipul context wan eni(at;ed in in thin township than that which was brought tu a termination on Monday last. Four candidates for tho reeveship and a councillor to ! elected in three of the wards, wan bound to make things interest- im;. After the poll had closed, and up until a late hour of th evening, there wan a very lar^e crowd of people in the 8t.irs and hotel await nm full returns and diKcussins; the situation. It was not un til '.( o'clock that Pricevillo ward was heard from, ownm to llie wires not being in working order, ifter lieann^ from the other three ward- Mr. Richardson's friends felt certain of his election, and the full returns nave him a moat hand- gome majority all and more, than his friend* anticipated. The campaign, we believe, wat -fought wah an entire ab- sence of bitterness. Mr. (inland was placet! at a disadvantage- by some of his sued friends, and ill his ward the content was desperately keen. Notwith- standing thin h" came in a fairly good second. The Vote cast was a larye .me. larxer than that cant in any election for at least fifteen years past.
