A Courageous Republican Candidate.

Col. Curtiss, "the great hydraulic, j."
republican nominee for Congress in the
first District, conscious Of his own
weakness and the weakness Of his prin-
ciples is afraid to meet tho democratic
candidate, the Hon. II. II. Trimble,
upon the stump and discuss before the
people the principles which he advo-
Gates. Immediately after bis nomina-
ton, Mr.. TrimbIe despatched to 1.-THE
great hydraulic" a challenge to meet
him, but the latter was perfectly mum
upon the subject, returning no answer
to the letter.
Mr.. Trimble, after waiting a reason
able length Of time for an answer pub
l'shed his appointments and proceeded
to I'LL them; but now after tho appoint
ments have been published in every
paper in tho District and preparations
have been made by the democracy, "the
great hydraulic" suddenly RECEIVERS his
courage aud publiahes an entirely diff.
ferent list and challenges the demo-
cratic candidate to meet him, knowing
OF course that Mr.. Trimble after prep
arations have been made cannot now
change his appointments. OF all the
mean sneakiug tricks ever resorted to
IN any political canvass, this is the mos,
oassfaesd and dispicable.

The Davenport Gazette is not the
only paper which has had the temeri-
ty to inaugurate the policy Of attempt
ing to force the Republican party Of
this District to support tho nominees
of the packed convention held in this
city. That powerful and influential
sheet, the Anamosa Eareha, publishes
a long and more than ordinarily stupid
leader upon tho use OF the name of
Judge Bennett as an independent Can
dlda,e for the office OF Judge ltsays !:
We did entertain the belief that Judge
Bennett was Republican, and would not
allow himself to be made tool, etc
1t then proceeds to intimate that he
and all members of the party who sup
port him, are no longer Republicans
This article is copied into and endorsed
by that small sized sheet, the Musca-
tine journal. These articles must in
deed be truly alarming to the Kcpub-
licans OF the District who have repudi
ated the action Of tho wire pulling con-
vention, when they retlectthat they have
the united support of the Republicans
OF Clinton, and quite one-half Of the
party in Scott, Muscatine and Jackson.
to back them in their position.
The itinisted and previously instruct
ed editors of the Gazette, Journal aud
Eureka, who had been let into the Sc
crets Of the wire-pullers and been lea
gued with them in the laying of pipes,
which resulted in tho nomination of
Mr.. Dillon, will, we opine, find
that they have undertaken task OF
more magnitude than they expected,
ifthcy intend to trighten tho republic
ans of this District into support Of
nomination unfairly and dishonesty
m, dc without their consent, and in
defiance Of their expressed wishes.
Truly the Independence of the re-
publlcans of this District must be
something remarkable il, after having
their horse, they allow the thief to
turn around and frighten them into
complimenting him for his rascality.
The only boilers" in the case, are
the men who bolted the peoples NOM
ination and placed John +. Dillon up
on a ticket Of their own.

CHANGE or LEVEL IN IHk LaKE-Irs CAUSE
Chester Dewey L. L d.. ofthe Univ srsity
Of Rochester, states that Lake Ontario is
inches higher than in October, 1857, when
it was the highest that had been known for
eleven years He states that there is no
regular time Of rise or fall in the lakes-no
periodical changes of five, or seven, or
eleven years Lake Ontario his high or low
when or soon after the came fact in Lake
Erie, and the fluctuations are about equal,
as they are in Lake Michigan The differ
ence in the level is very rarely four feet in
year, when the waters are at rest.
The conclusion he arrives at, after eleven
years observation Of the lakes. and of me-
neurological conditions in this vicinity, is
that the fluctuations Of the level depend on
the quantity Of water poured into the LAX s
by streams which carry off the rain and
the melted snow, and upon the amount of
evaporation

Curious Breach of Promise Case-FatheP
and Son Rivals.
From . late English paper.

In action for breach of promise Of mari
age. tried in the Court of Queens Bench, on
Wednesday, the 7th ult. Ann Read. the
daughter Of corn chandler in Shore ditch,
WAS the plaintiff, and samuel A. W ellis. the
defendant
The father Of the defendant, who was a
corn factor, had a counting house within tho
premises occupied by the father of the plain
till. Paying frequent visits to her fathers
office, the young man was naturally invited
up stairs, and as naturally made love to and
was accepted by Miss Read. He declared
his purpose Of making her his wife. and they
were treated by the friends Of both families
as parties engaged" Unfortunately, how
ever, the counting house afforded frequent
opportunities to Mr. Wells. and he, too, be
came sutton. He pointed out that his son
was too young, was not yet established in
business. and used other arguments, but to
no purpose
The plaintiff liked the young man best,
and told HIM of the unnatural rival that he
possessed. The defendant was very angry
Of course with his father but seemed to in
crease in attachment for the lady, and wrote
to her number OF letters. declaring his un
alterable attachment, and his determination
to make her his wife at all hazards, obsery-
ing, won't the o d man stare when | put
the ring Oh your finger"
The aged Cupid in the meantime, was not
idle, but pushed his suit with great energy,
now attempting by u ruse to get her to sign
a surrender of her engagement with his son.
ana now plying her through the influences
of friends.
Whether or not by those effort. it does
not clearly appear. but the young woer be-
gan tc show some signs OF drawing back,
and at last assumed stch an attitude us in
duced the wronged fair one to Geek redress.
The jury awarded her $500 damages
