hours the trains began to arrive, full

A Phenomenon.

A citizen of Robertson county, Ten
nesee, reports Strange and unnatural
movement among the small game in
that vicinity. For some days past his
plantation has been literally oyerrun
with myriads of rabbits in groups and
gangs, coming from the North and
leisurely passing-to to, the Southwest.
During the day they travel but little,
generally lying close nibbling the herb
age in the shade until disturbed, when
they break cover like swarm of flies.
At night, however, the earth is literally
covered with them, marching, counter
marching, dancing and romping in the
starlight, their movements seemingly
directed by certain gray-whiskered pa
triarehs. The gentleman has been
compelled in sell-defence to inaugrate,
with dogs, clubs and firearms, a war Of
determination, but although he has
killed hundreds, there seems to be no
diminution in the number Of these lit
tie 'cotton-tailed" erratics. He thinks
they are feasting upon the locusts, as
they are following the general direction

that Howell Cobb, Robert TOombs and

Death -Mra Hooker.

treme regret of the death of Mrs. OLIVIA
HookER, wife Of Maj. Gen JosEPH E HooKER.
She was the sister of Hon. WILLIAM S.
GRoEsBEck, and was one of the most brilliant
women of the country. Her acquaintance
gas very extensive, not only through the
United States, but aIso in Buror e, and her
accomplishments and genius were universal
ly recognized. Mrs. Hooker had been for
some time In i'll health; but her death, though
not unexpected, causes no less severe a parg

sympatbies of the whole city will be ex-

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.


The Convention that meets at Clyde
next Thursday will have plenty of can
didates for the nomination from which
to make a selection. Sandusky county
presents the name of Gen. BUcKLAND
for denomination Erie county has
three candidates, Messrs. SLOAN, NET
rLEToN and VANT1NE; Huron county,
Mr.. STEWART; Crawford County, D.
W. Sw1eART, ESQ.,, and Seneca county,
Gen. GIBSON.
Perhaps we ought to qualify the
statement of Gen. NETTIETox's candi-
dacy. He is not a candidate, as we un-
derstand, in the sense that he seeks or
expects the nomination; yet if the.
Convention should decide that the use
of his name would harmonic the vari-
GUS interests of the party in the Dis
trict, he would be grstifed by a nOmin7
alton thus rendered. "a
We do not anticipate anything like a
violent struggle in the convention over
the nomination. The delegates viii
undoubtedly look to the good Of the
party and the chances of success in the
District, and with this view will not al
low their personal preferences to stand
in the way of sound judgment. We
believe that Gen. BUCKLAND will be re-
nominated, because he has made an ex-
cellent member of the House, has &C
quired valuable experience in legislative
work, ,d1as influential personal and po-
liticaI relations with the foremost men
Of the party at the capital, and can
carry this District.
But whoever may be nominated, we
feel sure that the Convention will give
us straightforward Republican, an
upright, honest, sober man-one whose
record will be an element of strength
instead of weakness, and whose ability
and fitness will be universally recog-
nized.
A correspondent of the Sandusky
Register writing from Monroeville, hits
the nail squarely on the head as follows
ave ought to nominate as our can
didate some good man who can poll
the entire strength of the Republican
party in the District. We have an
adverse majority of some 1900 to over
come, and no Republican can be elect
ed whose character or record is such
as to ALLEVIATE part of the Republican
vote. Our candidate should be free
| from all entanglements, should have
no unnecessary weights to carry, and
should possess such qualities as will
command the respect aud hearty sup
port of all portions of the party. We
can't afford to lose any votes, and il
! ould be simply throwing away the
LiAsrict to nominate any man, whatey-
er his claims who, for any reason,
could not command the full vote of the
party. The party is not called upon
to shoulder the private quarrels and
misfortunes of any aspirant, and at
tempt to carry them through to vic
tory. Let the motto be, No luggage"

good political newspaper. Distributed
periodically, containing also the latest
intelligence and general reading that
interests every member of the family,
this medium of influencing public
opinion has clearly great advantage
over mere pamphlet speeches or dis

disposed to give the most effective aid

only be reminded of this to appreciate
: the good which a live campaign paper
can do at a trifing cost.
