Hon. A. G. PORTER RE-NoMINATED FOR
CoNGREss.-Y esterday afternoon the Repub-
licans of this, the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict, met in this city, at the State House,
and re-nominated Hon. A. G. Porter, our
present Representative in Congress, by ac-
clamation. There was no opposition, and
no thought of it, Mr.. Porter has worn his
honors as manfully and modestly as he won
them, and the people had no wish to trans
fer them to another. He has done his duty
in Congress quietly and well, and the unan-
imOu5 denomination accorded him proves
that the people appreciate the fact that
speech making is not the sole duty and end
of a Congressional career. His reelection
we consider a foregone conclusion, but it
certainly will not make him less slack in
his efforts for the cause, and the State and
National tickets, than he would be if his
own success were depending.-Ind. Jour.

The Eaquirsfs denial Of Judge Laws
betrayal of Judge Hoyey will not suffice to
prove the Judges innocence of the charge.
When Judges Law and Hovey come out over
their own signatures, and contradict it, we
shall have something further to say. As
the matter stands, the people of the District
will consider the double dealing operations
of Judge Law fully established.
We ask the people of the First District,
Do you regard honor among men z Do you
believe that deception and double dealing is
just and manly? viii you place your con-
idence, and welfare, and political interests

SOMETHING STRANGE.-Among the untor-
tuuate fiatboatmen wrecked in the late ter
rible hurricane, on the Ohio river, were two
brothers of the name of Gibbons, from Pitts
burgh. When the boat they were on went
down, near Carrolton, one of them was res
cued from drowning, but the other, less for
tunate, sunk and persisted beneath the
waves. The survivor, after waiting at Car
rolton and searching in vain for several
days for the body, returned to his home in
Pittsburgh. Saturday night he dreamt that
his brother, whose name was Daniel, came
to his bedside, and told him that his dead
body might be found buried by the side Of
that of a relative who persisted on the same
day and in like manner with himself
This relative was on another boat when
lost. The brother Immediately started
down the river, and on reaching this city,
and calling on the sexton of Springdale
Cemetery, he found, sure enough, that his
brother and relative were inferred side by
side in this city. This is strange story,
but it was related to us by Mr.. Gibbons HIM
self who in our Office to-day, and we
have no reason to question his veracity.

SWANS FOR THE CENTRAL PARK-Twelve
beautiful swans, a present from the city of
Hamburg to the municipal authorities of
New York, arrived there on Friday last, by
the Bavaria. They are sent with special
view to adorn the waters of the Central
Park. They are paired, six being male and
six female. and each pair was on thevoyage
placed in a large cage separate from the
rest. The long voyage does not seem to
lave affected them, other than to soil their
delicate plumage, which sadly shows the
want of the numerous baths they much de-
light in. A man came over in the ship
with the swans, for the special purpose of
teaching the park keepers the methed of
attending them. They have already been
placed in the large pond of the Central
park.

B6y~ Some of the Democratic papers are
making sport over the variation in the
spelling of Mr.. Lincoln's Christian name
We recollect well what trouble the Demo-
Gratis had in getting Franklin Pierce's name
right; also Douglass and Bre ckinridge's.
Some spelled the first Peirce; the second
Douglass; and the third Breckenridge. So
our Democratic friends have no right
to be making sport over the mis-speIling of
Lincoln's given name.

Crops in this vicinity, generally look
well. The late rains have had a wonderful
effect upon the wheat, which will probably
be about fair crop. Corn and fruit can't
be beaten, and the mast for hogs never was
better. May wheat is already cut, and the
