For mayor, on the first ballot Mr.. H.Addison
received II votes James A. Magruder, 6
and s. McKenney, 8. Mr.. Addison was de-
clared unanimously elected nominee. A com.
mittee was then appointed to nominate the
common councilmen. They will meet at the
residence of Mr.. W. H. Tenney, on Wednesday
evening next. Mr.. Addison, having received
an Invitation from the members of the conven.
ton, soon made his appearance, and then re-

nation. .
He was pleased to express his acceptance
thereof stating that at one time he had expect
ed never to be candidate again, but in c0nse.
quence of violent and most fraudulent perse.
cuton, he had been ousted from an office to
which he has been clearly elected. He there
fore determined to appeal from the court below
to the higher and more unerring one which can
always be found in the people themselves. The
Convention thereafter adjourned, and partook Of
a sumptous repast served by Mr.. John T. Bangs,
at whose residence the Convention was held.
A company of United States flying artillery

Inspector General Stone was here last even.

He expressed himself well satisfied with their
proficiency and general soldierly appearance.
With the exception Of the military prepars.
tions now going on, our town is remarkably
quiet.
The officers of our volunteer companies re.
ceived orders to-day to report themselves at
headquarters, for the purpose of qualifying and
receiving their commissions.
