Elections. To-day we publish the official vote of Indiana for President and vice President. In making out the list from the Indiana Journal, we have thrown tho counties into congressional districts fcr more easy reference, and canied out the majority in each. It nviy also be proper to observe that the list is made to correspond with the highest vote eac h ticket recieved in the several counties; ar d that in seme there is a considerable difference in the votes given for the elector on the same ticket. For

King Solomon wai greatly celebrated for his wisdom and learning; and it can scarcely be credited that he would have expended such an immense sum, to build a Temple of stone and timber, when be might for less than one fourth of the sum, have erected both the Temple and porch entirely of gold, in the most indestructible manner, so asto have remained, even to this day, a monument of his greatness.

escape, but the tlames made such rapid

progress that they soon communicated to a stable, and burnt several cows and

horses.

The neighbours soon discovered that

which were on fire. With some diflicnlty tbey succeeded in saving the old man, who slept upon the ground floor:

but as the children were in the garret,

it was almost impossible to get at them. The flames had just reached the place where the unfortunate children were lying, and their shrieks were heard by all around At this trying moment, Marie Lessaile, their sister,, a girl only 1 5 years old,consulting only her courage.
