George Willis, told us that he saw the last
Buffalo killed within the limits Of this state
He was shot by hunter named Kccnes, noar

years since the wild OK was finally extcrmina.

travelling 10 and from the salt licks in Jack

deeply worn wagon roads, extending over
hills and across valleys and streams many
miles together. By the side of these ancient
paths are largo cavities, called "buffalo wal.

drews all the qualifications above enumerated,
and we do most earnestly and cordially com
mend him TO the people Of Ohio as fit per-
son for the Office Of State Commissioner Of
Common Schcole
Resolvsd, That comm;t;ss Of seven be ap-
pointed 70 prepare an address to the people Of
Ohio, setting forth our views on the subject
Mr.. Hancock, Of Hamilton county, moved
that The resolutions be laid on the table until
after dinner.
Mile @. Williams hoped the resolutions
would be acted upon now, stating his concur
renee in their object, and his belief that the
Convention was ready for the vote on their
adoption.
Mr.. Hancock explained the object Of bis
motion. He did not wish to be understood
as unfriendly to the resolutions. He was in
favor of them; but he thought little time for
deliberation, and for absontees to come in,
might be desirable. AS the Convention
seemed, however to be ready FOR action. he
withdrew his motion.
The question being on the adoption Of the
resolutions the Chair called for the ayes, and
they were given with great emphasis, follow
ed by loud applause. There was not single
negative vote, anu Tue RESOLUTIONS were an
nounced as unanimously adopted.
The Chairman asked the pleasure of the
Convention in regard to the Committee under
the last resolution. A motion that the Chair
man appoint the committee was adopted;
whereupon the following gentlemen were an
nounced:
l. w. Andrews, Of Marietta
Rufus Hubbard, Of Cincinnati,
L. NJ. Oviatt, of Cleveland,
T.W. Harvey, of Massilon,
T. r Sloan, Of Mt. Vernon,
Samuel Hasett, of Portsmouth,
Edward Olncy, Of Perrysburg.
The resolution recommending Lorin An
drews to the people of Ohio as the man best
qualified to Gil the office of State Commission
er Of Common Schools, was adopted without
one desenting voice. II was not only adop-
ted with entire unanimity, but with enthusi
asm. Let il be distinctly understood hat the
teachers and friends of education, who assem-
bled at Dayton on the 9th and 7th inst, did
not nominate Mr.. Andrews as the peoples
candidate. but simply recommended him to
tie people, as a man every way worthy their
confidence and support. We announce Mr.
Andrews as the peoples candidate, from the
fact he is not the nominee of any party or
association of men Of any kind whatever,-
He offers himself to the people, not to whigs
democrats, froesoers or teachers as such.
