BOWLING GREEN, Dec. 90.
DEAR JEFF.:-In the last lumber
of the Sentinel we are reminded of
an error in our last. The Sentinel
said 'Pedagogue," writing from this
place to the Findlay JEFEERsoNIAN,
says "ten new buildings were erected
during the Summer and Fall. We
can count (says the Sensinsl) looking
east from our Office, eighteen. Ii the
other parts of town are taken into
consideration fifty would be fair
estimate" We stand corrected :
Upon taking a survey, We find the
Sentinel about corrective find al
"rough' estimate is often liable to
be very far from the real facts in the |
case.
The Senatorial Convention that
met at Toledo on the 1st, to nominate
candidate to succeed the lamented
Hon. James G. Hall, after some four
ballots. concluded to bestow the
nomination upon Hon. Charles A.
King of Toledo. Jamss F. Burket,
of your place, was his most formida
BILE opponent. The result OF this con-
vention may. like in any other, have
been affected by interlopers-many
such heing present and participating
and voting, neither being delegates
nor holding proxies. / have no re-
spect for the dignity Of those who
persist in acting in representative
capacity without being chosen to do
so. To the honor of your county,
none but those delegated by her to
do SO presumed to represent her in
that convention and they "stuck to
their man" with a fidelity that de-
served q success in his nomination.
if they did fail. Mr.. King is COM
petent and worthy man.
Although some time has passed
since the glorious third of Novem.
ber, your correspondent has partici-
pated in one regular old-fashioned
iollification, and numerous oyster
suppers and cigars over the result
of that day, yet the measure of his
delight is not yet full, but he would
further indulge his feelings by con-
graduating your readers on the hap
py effect of the last election. 1t

not to few, but to all. Nasby stole

in alate lecture, that SO negro was
welcome to outstrip him in the social
and political race if he could and :
the very fact that he did SO is conclu-

Nasby has got it in ahead of me, and /,

Does the irrepressible "knight OF :.
the woeful countensnce'' that pre-
sides over the pages Of the Courier, {
and earns his bread and butter by
sticking strengthening plasters in the
weak places in the preJudices of q
class of erriDg voters, still survive 2

''I admire the spunk of that animal,

Poor, weak, imbecile! do try and

The Rev. Mr.. Mccarthy, formerly
of the Presby terian Church Of this c
place, received and accepted q call
elsewhere, and will be succeeded by
the Rev. Mr.. Vance. The great
ability of MIR Mccarthy attracted the
attention of more wealthy commu
nifty, so We were unwillingly com
PEELED to give him up. We hope Mr.. ,
Vance will be able to fill his place.
The Rev. Mr. Kalb, formerly Of
Fostoria, takes the place of the Rev.
Mr.. Poncher of the Methodist church.
A chilling snow storm from the
northeast has just struck us--remind-
ing us that winter fraught with its
share Of charms is at hand.
