The State Temperance convention Is

change is made for the reason that a

was thought best that they should be
held at the same time and place as near

The wife Of Mr. Thomas Chadwick threw
herself into the Cedar river and was
drowned on the night Of May LIST. A
short time since she lost child, and it
seems that she upbraided herself with
u lack Of proper attention to it duringits
sickness, although without any reason,
and on one or two occasions, in CONVEX
sations with neighbors. she stated that
she sometimes felt as though she would
like to drown herself in the Cedar. On
the night other death she got UP quiet

child in its bed, went to the grave Of her
dead child, and from thence to the river
and accomplished the fearful deed.

est.---The Mccormick is the on
ly SELF RAKER that will do good
work in lodged or very short
grain. The Machine, as improv-
ed for 1866, will work as well on
billy or wet as level or dry land,
and the draft is much lighter than
last year. It is a good Mower,
and the best finished, simplest,
and most reliable machine in
market.
The separate, two-wheeled
MCCORMICK MOWER is warranted
to be superior to ANYTHING in the
Mower line manufactured ANY
WHERE, by ANYBODY. Draft is
light, and the driver sitting in his
scat can easily raise the cutting
bar over an obstruction a foot
high, or change the "cut" from
half an inch to four inches high,
in an instant, and while the Ma
chine is in motion. In field tri-
ais with the Dali, Buckeye,
Hubbard. Quaker, Wood, Nanny,
and many other Mowers, it has
proved its great superiority, and
like our Self.Raker, will be sold
on a warranty of being the best
Machine in it's line in market.
AS usual, the Mccormick Ma
chimes will be sold on terms that
cannot fail to suit.

third section, which he considered the
vital portion of the whole amendment,
and without which there would be no
power left to the friends of the Union in
the next Congress. Upon the close of
his speech, Mr.. Stevens withdrew his

One day last week two horse thieves stole

lie thieves near lola, and the dead bod
es OF the thieves were found suspended
from the limb Of a tree but a short dis
lance from the town.

A-We see it reported in the papers
that suit has been commenced against
Governor Stone and others, by the Atty
General, for the recovery of the missing
$50, 900 Of swamp land indemnity fund.
The report of the investigating commit
tee does not show that any of the money
went into Governor Stones hands,
but it does show, on his part ut least,
gross carelessness in the management of
the business Of his Office. If through
that care!essness there has been loss he
ought to be held responsible.

Constitution?
In Maine, the colored adult male popuIa

that so long impeded her progress, and is
struggling in the outset of new career, with
greater need than ever of competent rep

still another member, or grant the right of
suffrage to these thirty eight thousand negroes
assumed by this amendment to be entitled TO

And there are citizens of Maryland who
