DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNyENTIoS-
The Democrats of Iowa are to hold their
STATE Convention in Des Moines, on the
10Th inst, for the purpose of nominating
candidates to be voted to stay at home.
They have made no sign for another
partnership with the Kangaroos, but
propose to be handsomely licked in
square stand-up fight on their cwn
platform. We understand that the
Democrats OF this county do not propose
TO call a convention for the purpose Of
selecting delegates to attend the State
Convention, but If any of the faithful
desire to represent the county ut that
august asscmblagc, they can do SO, pay
their own bills, and obtain all the c!er,.
ATTEMPTED ARsoN.-Some malicious
disposed person attempted to burn down
an unoccupied house, in the northeast
part OF town, belonging to S. B. Belts,
on the night ofthe 18th inst. The incen-
diary entered the house by breaking open
the back door, and after breaking
through the plastering and lath on one
of the partition walls, kindled a fire with
shavings between the studding; but for
tunately, the fire went out after consum-
ing the shavings. If the perpetrator of
this deed should desire to commit an act
that would be applauded by all, he will
be readily furnished short rope to do it
With-and no questions asked.
A DEFUNcT HoRsE.-Just west of
town, but within the corporation limits,
is the remains Of once noble steed,
recently an employee of United States
Mail Contractor Pitnan. This animal
was one of the team used by Mr.. Pitman
in running his mail and hack line from
Upton to Iowa City. As he, Pitman,
was passing with his team over small
bridge on the Upper Iowa City road,
Immediately west Of the corporation,
one Of the horses became frightened and
crowded the other off the bridge. The
mud being deep and the horse weak, he
was unable to extricate himself from
the "miry clay" and no one coming to
his relief life soon became extinct. The
horse though poor was of respectable
parentage, and had he lived three score
years and ten would undoubtedly have
peeh an old horse. How his remains
were removed within the corporation
we know not, but with the poet are
left to inquire:
odd horse, old horse, how came you here"

Goods line, go to Drake & Covington's.
