Apologetic.

Owing to a very peculiar complication of circumstances over which we have not immediate control, the result of the election, the indisposition of the editor, and a thousand and one other perplexities upon us with fifty others in, sight, we are enabled only to issue but half a sheet this week. If no accicident occurs, anjl we don’t get a back-set, our readers may expect a full sheet regularly hereafter; otherwise the dopenent sayeth not. tO* The election passed off very quietly on Teuesday, Both parties were out in their fttll strength, with the exception of here and there a voter. We have scarcely ever witnessed an election where the same interest was manifested by the three parties for their respective candidates, as on Tuesday, and all with the perfect good feeling. However, this is but characteristic of the citizens of Jasper. The Republicans have carried the county by a majority of about 75. The candidate for Sheriff receiving the highest number of votes We are inclined to think it wUI be pretty close between the candidates for Treasurer, yet, it is very probable that ithe Republican candidate, with the balance of the ticket, both State and couifty, will be elected. This majority is far below what they had anticipated. The Republicans hqd pledged this county to give Mr. Colfax two hundred minority. Our returns are but meagre and unofficial, b.ut “such as we have we give unto thee.” See table in an other column—next week. . jg —' • # OCT* Dur town and county is fast becoming a place of resort for sporting gentlemen. During the past Week several parties have passed through this place on their way to theEake. Some half dozen of Cincinnatiana are sojourning in this and the immediate neighborhood. They lake a circuitous route in the morning and return in the evening to town with the proceeds of the day, to cared for by Mine Host, Mr. Babb, of the Renpealear House.— Having made the acquaintance of several of them we find them to be perfect gentlemen. We shall always be happy to welcome such sportsmen to Rensselear, particularly such gentlemen as Messrs. Hopple and Reakirt. > — — ACT* The annual Fair of Jasper County Agricultural Society came on Saturday. The attendance was siat so large as we wished to see it, ■ yet it was as large as eould be expected owing to unfavorableness of the weather, for a few days previous to the fair.
