Ageeably with the call Of the Town
Committee, the Republicans of st. AL
bans, to the Estimated number Of 800,
assembled in Academy Hall last even
ing, to nominate candidate for Town
Representative.
The meeting was called to order ut
half-past seven o'clock, 10y ID. II. Pot
ter. Esq, Chairman of the Committee,
and on his nomination Captain Almont
Barnes was chosen President, and AL
bert Clarke, Secretary.
Mr.. b. +. Rugg moved that Charles
Wyman be nominated for Town Re-
preventative, which motion was second
ed by c. G.. Burton.
Herbert Brainerd stated that Mr.. wy
man was absent from Town, but that he
called upon him before he left and urg-
ed him to consent to become a candidate,
but he positively refused, and said that
as he now had no business partner he
could not take the Office without great
detriment, and should not consent to he
q candidate.
Julian IL. Dewey, Esq, then present.
ed the name of GEORGE G.. HUNT,
ESQ, which was greeted with applause,
and seconded by several gentlemen.
Mr.. John j. Burgess stated that he
was and had been one of Mr.. Wyman's
friends, and last year worked and plead
for him TO the best of his ability that
| hi hn ~ mi m
him to run for the office, but had been
repeatedly assured by Mr. Wyman that,
for the reasons stated by Mr.. Brainerd,
he could not and should not consent.
And Mr.. Burgess now felt sure that this
motion to nominate Mr., Wyman was
without his knowledge or consent, and
against his wishes.
The question was then taken on Mr..
Riggs motion, and it was decided in
the ncgative-there being only one vote
in the affirmative.
Mr.. Rugg then said something maud
IDLE about " compliment or" c0mpro-
misc,' and left the Hall.
The question was then taken on Mr.
Dewey's motion, and Mr.. Hunt was
unanimously nominated, amid applause
and was called upon for IL speech tc
which he briefly responded, very kindly
thanking his friends for the high honor
thcy had done him, and expressing tho
hope that, since they had launched his
little boat on an untried sea-to him
they would see him safely ashore on
election day.
On motion of Edward A. Smith-ad
journed.

President.

Mr.. PLACE AS AN OFFICER.-Mr.
Place, our excellent candidate for Sher-
iff has filled the Office of Constable in
the Town of Highgate for the last twelve
or fourteen years, and still holds the
same office, and is regarded as one of the
most intelligent, honest, and thorough
officers in the county. With these re-
concentrations, and the fact that he is
a fairly nominated candidate of the
party, we confidently expect his cleo
ion.
In small town in Hartford county
Conn, resides clergyman who is the
pastor of small flock, who esteem him
very highly, and he is fond of catechiz-
ing: a few days since, while he was
taking a ramble through the village, he
stopped at the. house of one of his par
ishioners, and. after the usual saluta
tons had been exchanged, the CONVEX
sation ran rs follows: "Well. Sister w
can you tell me how Ad I'M fell?n I'll,
lady commenced to smile audibly, and
finally replied: "Why, my dear Doctor
you're not serious ?'' Every serious
| indeed" responded the Doctor. Mrs
W, whose husbands name happen,
to be Adam, replied; "Well, we'll, 70,
will have it, Doctor. You see, Adam
went to climb over the fence the othe
night to 20 TO Deacon Ms for a bot
tie of whiskey, when an oar lying OF
the ground took his foot, Over Adan
feU and barked his shin, and that's tn
whole truth of the matter"

THE DRoUGHT.-We hear considcra-
bic complaint from our ncighbors in the
village on account of the very severe
drought which is now prevailing in this
vicinity. The gardens are genarally
suffering badly for want of rain, and in
many of them the vines are already
dead and should water not come soon
it will be of little account hereafter.
The greater portion of the wells in
town are without water, and too much
precaution cannot he taken against
fires. The drought has also seriously
affected the potato crop in this vicinity,
and it is probable that not one half as
many bushels will be raised, in this
town at least, as last year. While rain
has fallen in the north, west, south and
east in abundance, everything here
shows the sere and yellow leafN hue,
and even the grasshoppers find dry pas
lures. The feed in the fields is so scanty
"a to lessen the yield of milk, and the
present rise in the price Of butter shown
by our market report is almost wholly
due, we think, to the comparative
scarcity produced by the long contin-
ued hot weather, and absence of usual
rains.

"WHOA, JANUARYW-The Buccpha-
lus, hitched to the "Welden House"
baggage wagon made another charge
from the passenger depot about o'clock
this morning. AT the first dash he
went through John Dewey's mail wag-
on, disconnecting the bulk of it from the
forward wheels, which was converted
into kindlingwood Immediately. There
upon Johns horse thought it was about
time for him to be going, and away he
went up Lake Street at n ., 40 gait for
his stables, where he arrived minus for
ward wheels, harness, and everything,
which balance of livery was scattered
on the way. The Weldon House steed
charged down by the freight depot with
the empty wagon attached, up Stebbins
Street into the picket fence and down
South Main Street, where the force OF
the charge was expended, and he
came to a halt in front of Mr.. Abel
HoughtOn's residence. The strength OF
the Weldon House wagon was put to {
severe test but it proved equal to the oc
casion, and came out of the exercise

inappropriate, and we would recon-
mend our citizens, even now, in time.

Advicos from Lafayette state that the
panic produced by the cattle plague is
abating in the west. The farmers in
the infected districts have generally
banded together to hinder spreading of
the plague by the most energetic meas
urcs, and enough has been ascertaincd
concerning its origin to justify the hope
that effcctual steps will be taken t. pro-
tect the vast herds ofcattle on-our West
ern prairics from infection in the flu
turc.
Diseased cattle lately intercepted at
Milbertown found their way to this City.

naming one died in Il pen adjoining the
slaughter house. The others have not

have been cut up and sold to our citi-
zens for good beef.
n Chicago letter says the importation
of cattle from Texas into Illinois has in

has entailed a loss of over two hundred
thousand dollars to the cattle dealers.
No more Texas cattle will be allowed to
come into the state.
Accounts of the shooting affair at the
Broadway Theatre last night. It was
most uncalled for and murtierous assault
upon Il crowd Of frightened actors and
the roughs who were employed as Dep
uty Shcrifls to arrest Mr.. Harkins upon
an injunction issued by Judge Barnard.
Not finding Mr.. Harllins, the roughs
who carried their cooked revolvers from
the moment they obtained entrance to
the theatre, made rush at the carpen-
tcrs who were arranging scene, the
latter telling them TO go away. Nearly
the whole corps of az ors and actorasscs
hau been attracted To the spot by the
roWdy movement of the roughs who az
peared Infatuated at not finding Mr..
llarkins who hadescaped. AS the actors
stood in body the fellows fired two or
three Vollies into their midst, badly
wounding stephen Wilson the property
men in the place, and fatally wound
ing poor boy who has been employed
to light the gas at the theatre. The DO
lice were sent for and q squad arriving,
five of the attacking party were arrested,
one escaped, All this took place while
the curtain was down. Another actor
took Mr.. Harkins's part and the play
was concluded.

BUTTER.-A large quantity of butter
was again brought into our market to-
day, and prices were up to high figure
for the best lots. Some sold as low (?)
rs 35 cents per pound, but No. butter
brought from 40 to AZ cents. Butter
spreading thus becomes a series matter
again in most households. The con-
tinued dry weather in this region tends
to diminish the quantity OF butter made,
and to make farmers more anxious to
secure the highest possible price which
can be secured. The amount shipped
from here this week is large, however,
being 2,2l0 tubs, or about 10 800 pounds.
Not much cheese was brought in, it
being usually purchased at the factories
and not shipped from here on the regu-
lar butter market day. The price of fac
tory cheese is from IA to Is cents per
pound. That made in Is to Is inch
hoops sells the most readily, we believe,
as it is liked better abroad and as well
at home, and hence is suited to both
home and foreign markets; while that
made in larger hoops finds no ready sale
for shipment abroad. This little foreign
prejudice against large cheese makes q
difference of from one to two cents pei
pound in the price which dealers arc
willing to pay, and factories will do well
to make note of it for their future
benefit.
