Keeping up Stock.

In the usual election notice posted by the
Town Clerk, giving the people notice of what
is to be voted on at the coming election, it will
be noticed occurs this clause: "And to vote
for or against keeping up stock" This refers
to an act of the last legislature, which requires
a vote of the people, however, of the county
before it can go into effect, and which provides
that after March LIST, 1868, no horse, cattle,
mule, ass, sheep, hog or goat shall be allowed
to run at large and if so found running at
large, may be taken up, and dealt with gener-
ally after the manner Of estrays under the
present law. 1t will require majority of all
the votes cast at the election in November in
the county to put the law in force in this
county.

County Convention.

The call for convention of the Democracy
Of this county, published in our last, was hand
cd in at so late an hour that we were unable
to accompany it with any editorial remarks
There was some doubt and hesitation felt by
the committee, about the expediency of calling
convention; but on consideration, the COM
mittee wisely concluded that if there were any
questions in the matter, the convention itself
were most competent to decide them. Since
the call was issued, however, events have
transpired whit resolve all doubts on the sub.
ject. The returns of the October elections
have come in anu SLOW the democratic star to
be once more in the ascendant. PENNSYLVANIA,
Ohio and Indiana, following the lead of Cali
tornia, have returned to their old democratic
love, Indicating that radicalism has seen its
lay, ana that, as soon as the formality of the
neccssa'. elections can be gone through with,
this ,nn is once more to be governed by the
Great Democratic Party. Under such circum-
stances, even ii it is thought inexpedient to
make nominations at the convention next
week, it is most desirable that the convention
should te held, not only as democratic re-
union for mutua! congratulation, but to take
steps for an efficient organization preparatory
tothe sret.. CAM IN to come off next summer.
BY way Of Ell "agcment for democrats of
oil parts of the c'",nty, not only to send full
delegatlon3 but to come themselves, we are
enabled to state that several able democratic
speakers will be here to address the conven-
ton, among whom we can count with consid-
cradle certa =: the Hon. JAS. C. ALIEN
Let US hav My a full democratic con
ven ai"-4lng meeting of the good old
dcLa {.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-The young and thrifty
town of Fairbury, Livingston County, met with
terrible calamity on the I'd inst, in the shape
of conhagration which destroyed $4,000
worth of property. The fire occurred in tho
middle of the afternoon, near the railroad track,
and the buildings in the vicinity being all OF
wood, and high wind blowing, could not DO
stopped until burnt its way to the outer edge
of the town.

HUMoRs OF THE ELECTroN.-On Monday
evening, the night Before the election, the
Chicago Tribune received and gave promin-
ence to the following despatch from Des
Moines, Iowa:
DIES MONIES, Oct. 8.
The Republicans and Democrats are both
holding grand mass meetings in this city to-
night The Democrats will hold no meeting
tomorrow night. The telegraph will put out
their fires and palsy their speakers. They have
just got tonight to go on. 1t will only make
the thunder clap which will fall upon their
heads more startling.
The night shuts down on us ready for the
battle. Every man is at his post, and when
the morning opens the grand Republican army
of Iowa, with every part well up, will sweep
forward to complete victory
Next night the same especial" sent to the

Race Between n Locomotive and a Prai-
RE Fire.

RE Fire.
George W. Bungay, who recently witnessed
prairie fire. writing to the Detroit Advertiser and
Tribune, says Of it,
About seven O'Clock at night took passage
on the Dixon Air Line Railroad. The train had
proceeded but few miles from the city of
Chicago when we overlook fire on the prairie,
1t was bitter night; the wind was blowing
hard, and the snow was falling, but the tall, stiff
dry grass OF the prairie stood high above the
thin III sheet OF snow on Un1 Sround and the
flames spread with great rapidity. There was
broad margin between opT track and the river
OF IRE that swept before the wiud;
The iine OF flame was about half mile IN
length, and now and then it made such RAPID
DroeIess it seemed to keep pace with the train.
ft was q picturesque aud grand race between
the 6re steeds OF the prairie and the iron horse.
The form er has no delays to make at stations
side tracks, and crossings; the latter had the
advantage of human brains to do It's thinking
and pilot it. On, on they sped through the
thick and stormy night. One cracking ana
whispering in the wind soaring and driving
away every living thing in its path; the other
neighing and pressing forwards with q tread
which shook the ground and made the Ight IN
the nearest windows quiyer like aspen leaves
One fared its banner of flame in the sky, and
tossed its torches upon the crisp air, warning OF
approaching danger and light IN which to
escape to safe retreat; the other, with its name
of smoke and breath OF sparks, and its eye in its
forehead, dashed along III 'meteoric shower"
OF sparks 1t was poetry in moton"-ringing
with the rhythm of progress, whose sound is
music married to the couplet of iron, in the irou
epic of an advancing age. Our locomotive
gained the race at last, and we left the fiery
cavalry in the distance, lighting with the wind
and the snow, and leaping over the creeks and
ponds in its course-makng bon6res of the lone
haystacks tba stood, like Lots wife, within the
reach OF its innumeIable spears of flame Before
it was borne a crimson flag that lit up the
heavens; behind it was a charred and blackened
wake of cinders. Whether it swept away any
human habitations in its path cannot say; but
ii was a most attractive sight, and so full OF
account Of it.
