Maryland Election Returns Show Ligon Elected Governor

Election returns indicate Ligon won the Maryland governorship by about eight thousand votes, a Democratic gain of roughly fifteen hundred from last November. Four Democrats and two Whigs win Congress, Whigs secure a Senate seat replacing Pearce, and Whigs gain a legislative majority. A plan to boost the Agricultural Society fund proposes every member become a life member with twenty dollars, creating a substantial endowment to fund soil analysis and scientific work for Virginia agriculture.

Taylor Returns to Stage at Hunchback With Ince

Mr Taylor, recovered from a severe illness, returns that night in the Hunchback supported by Miss Ince and a strong company. Tonight they will present another excellent play in which both appear. Miss Ince is praised as an actress of superior talents. Driving on the sidewalk near Clay and 6th streets is discussed as necessary for street work. Samuel Ayes appeared before the Mayor to answer for teamsters driving on the sidewalk. The explanation cites culvert construction blocking passage. The case is continued until tomorrow morning. Dennis the grave digger, and a slave to Mr A Michaels, was admonished and discharged for an improper pass.
