OXFORD COUNTY REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
AT Republican Convention held at Paris.
on the 18th inst, the following nominations
were made: Senators, William H. Bolster and
Samuel Tyler of Brownfield County Commits
sioner, Hiram A. Ellis of Canton; Register of
Probate, Josiah s. Hobbs of Paris; Sheriff
Cyrus Wormen of Dother, county Treasurer,
Horatio Austin of Paris. Resolutions compl-
menting the official course OF Hon. S. Perham
and endorsing Hon. S. P. Morrill,, the Repub-
lcan candidate for Congress, were severally
passed. The Republicans of Old Oxford feel
that they have been generously dealt with in
Congressional matters in the past-by their po-
litical brethren in other parts of the district;
and they will unitedly support Mr.. Morrill,
with the same zeal and enthusiasm that has
marked their efforts in supporting their own
sons in former years. Resolutions endorsing
Grant and Colfax-the Chicago platform and
the several nominees of the Convention-mak-
Ing each nomination unanimous, were sever
allypassed. Gen. Perry of Oxford being call
ed upon, addressed the Convention.

and most desirable goods, advertise new de-

mand in that city as well as Boston. The con
stantly increasing call for goods of America

SAD ACcIDENT.-Monday afternoon, Walter,
little child of John Senate, residing on La
fayette street, was so seriously burned that he
died Tuesday morning. 1t appears that Wal.
ter and an older brother got hold of some
matches, up stairs, out of the way of the
mother, and in playing with them they ignit-
ed, setting fire to the clothing OF Walter. His
mother heard his screams, ran up stairs and
found his clothing all on fire. In extinguish-
ing the flames she was badly burned. Every
thing was done for the little sufferer that was
possible,- but without avail Let this be a
caution 10 parents to keep matches out of the
reach of young children.
