Whatever foundation there may have been for
the reports heretofore in reference to the pro-
gress of negotiations for the purchase of Cuba
by the United States, it is certain Spain has for
the present, at l-rs., abandoned all idea of max.
ing the transfer Large reinforcements have
been sent ~ Cuba, indicating purpose to sup
press the insurrection at any cost.
The Carlist disturbances have been pretty eff
fectually Quoted, and Don Carlos has gone to
England, apparently to await more favorable
opportunity.
Gen. Prim is still in Paris, awaiting an audi.
euce with Napoleon, with whom he wishes to
confer on the situation in Spain.
At present, the most probable candidate for
the Spanish throne seems to be Augustus Of Por.

Shepherd having manifestly the inside
track, the fight was short one he being
nominated on the Sd ballot, getting GA votes,
Just one more than he needed.
For school commissioner, Ottawa asked for
T. H. Clark, but was again euchred, the fight,
after protractcd struggle, ending in favor of
Mendoza preacher named w. II. Wynn.
G. W. Brumback was nominated for county
surveyor on the first regular ballot and so
the county ticket was made up
The next question that arose was on the
appointment of delegates to district convcn-
ton to nominate candidates to represent La
Sale and Livingston counties in the constitu-
tional convention. Mr., f. +. Bull, of La
Sale, having the pins set in this convention
for his own candidates, and not daring to
trust the matter in the hands Of district CON
vcntion, opposed the appointment of dele
gates, and moved to nominate two candidates
for La Sale county outright, letting Livings-
ton county nominate her own candidate. Dr.
Wiley opposed this, as contrary to the bus
iness Of this convention as laid down in the
call but Mr. Bulls motion prevailed, and
the candidates he had "cut and dried" were
nominatcd; to wit. Geo. S. Eldridgc of Peru.
and Joseph Hart, of Earlville.
After some routine business, the conven-
ton then adjourned sine die.

Republic.n county Convention.

This annual gathering Of precinct states
men, town meeting wirepullers and school
district lobbyists met in this city on Tuesday,
to fix up county ticket to be supported by
the party at the next November election. As
several of the offices to be filed pay pretty
big, the list of candidates was something
stupendous, and the fight over the official
pelf proportionately acrimonious. Every
town was not only fully represented, but in
some cases double delegations appeared. The
hour for the meeting of the convention was
set for 2 o'clock p. NJ, yet as early as 10
o'clock A. NJ. a majority of the delegates were
on hand, and, standing in groups about the
court house square, the smaller fry were sub
jected to vigorous buttonholing by the can
didates, while the leaders were busily engaged
in laying pipe or setting up pins in the back
room Of the nearest law office or beer saloon.
Promptly at o'clock the clans gathered in
the court room. The ball was opened by, II.
Mayo, on whose motion T. ID. Brewster, of
Peru, was made temporary chairman, and D..
A. Cook and P. H. Smith secretaries.
A committee on credentials was appointed,
who, after an hour or so spent in overhauling
the bundle of papers submitted to them, re-
ported list of delegates for all the towns ex-
cept Freedom, in reference to which they
were unable to smooth over the troubles, and
the matter had to be overhauled in open con-
vention. Excited speeches were made pro
and con-, showing that there had been con-
siderable shenanegan" on both sides, but
the fact leaking out that one of the delega-
tons was headed by a conspicuous anti-secrct
society man, and none of the leading candi-
dates being able to count on his support, his
squad was excluded, and the delegation
headed by H. NJ. Miller was admitted.
The convention was then permanently Or
ganized by retaining the officers appointed
temporarily.
The main bushes in hand-the nomination
of candidates-was then taken hold of with
out further ceremony.
AS Chas. II. Gilman, for county Judge, had
no opposition, his nomination was made by
reclamation.
Then came the big pull for county clerk.
Six out of about Is candidates who had an
nounced themselves, we're fortunate enough
to get their names before the convention.
These stood thus on the first, or informal
ballot

On the first regular ballot, however, six of

seven ballots. McCaleb never rose above his

first regular ballot, and his six remaining

ballot, McCaleb and Buchanan hauled off,
and their vote was also transferred to Mead,

missioner and Treasurer, Whitmorc had to be
slaughtered to make place for Mead, whom
Ottawa did not want, and who, it was there

Accordingly, on the 9Th regular ballot, Mead

The ENTERTAINMENTS 1t has not
often been our good fortune to witness
public entertainments that gave such
entire and universal satisfaction to a
large audience, as those given under
the direction of Prof. j. E. Kane, at
Beerys' Hal. on Monday and Tuesday
evenings. The opening scene. a ma
tional tabieau. was the finest and NEST
tasteful ever exhibited in this part of
Ohio, and the general expression was
that, that alone was well worth the ad-
mission fee. Mr.. Kane is emphatically
a gentleman of taste and culture. and
his skill. in the training of children, as
shown by their brilliant performances.
is certainly extraordinary. If over a
public instructor and entertainer de-
served to be we'll patronized. Mr.. Kane
does. He was greeted by good audi
ences both evenings. and we very much
regret that they were not larger, as we
are sure, such would have been the
case had those who failed to attend
known the merits of the exhibitions.

WHEAT.-We hear many complaints,
from different parts of the country, that
the wheat crop is very seriously in
jured by a peculiar mold which seizes
the berry. Some of our farmers are
very much alarmed in consequence of
this discovery, but we have reason to
hope the destruction will not prove so
serious as feared by some. Indeed, we
are assured. by men who have been in
the eastern and north eastern parts of
the county, that the crop is filling well
and never looked better, with the ex-
ception of some spots badly blown
down, or destroyed by the recent
floods. Unless there is radical refor-
nation in the weather, it will be utter
ly impossible for farmers to cure and
gather their crops.

kIRBY, OHIO, June u, 1863.
Mr.. EDITOR: We. the citizens of
Kirby, desire to tender our thanks to
the Nevada Sunday School Superin-
tendent and other speakers, for the kind
visit which they paid us on the 26th
ult, with about one hundred and seven
ty scholars and parents, making three
car loads in all. We are informed that
the railroad company brought them
here free of charge and all parties had a
most delightful time. Having but very
brief notice Of their Intended visit, we
were not as well prepared to receive
them as we could desire, but did the
best we could under the circumstances.
Every thing passed off very pleasantly
without any accident or occurrence to
mar the occasion. Some degraded fel.
low from the country came into town
drunk, and made a shameful exhibi-
tion of himself. He and similar fellows,
who came here from Upper Sandusky,
are the ones that give our place bad
name. We will thank them if they will
60 elsewhere to exhibit their drunken
ness and meanness. They will meet
with exposure if they come here in the
future.
The wheat crop looks well, although
fears are entertained that so much and
repeated rains will seriously injure it.
Corn, although very late and feeble,
is doing quite we'll within few days.
A grove and basket meeting will be
held by our people on the 18th of July,
and general invitation is extended to
the public to attend.

THE CONCERT


Mr.. EDITOR: What is more beautiful
than the sight we were permitted to see
on Monday and Tuesday evenings, of
this week, at the concert, given by Mr..
J. f. Kane, who has been for the last
few days cultivating the minds and
voices of the children for tie occasion.
Could there be anything more fairy
like? Could there be anything more
lovely? Anything that could make us
feel more like as if we were in a bed of
roses"-in a paradise Of flowers-in
near proximity to the angels. These
lovely little girls, 1 feel like repeating,
these lovely girls, can language do JUS
tice to these lovely forms and faces?
Gods matchless power must have been
brought into requisition when He made
and fashioned the face and form of wo-
man,and gave the order that they should
be first the plant, then the bud, the
opening flowers, and in ripper years the
full blown rose, not the ideal but the
real boquet of the world. In such a
groupe of girls as was presented to our
view on the evenings mentioned, there
sjust contrast enough in the different
contenances of each, to give variety
and interest to the view, to give life
and light to the picture. And to the
mind capable of taking in and appre-
ciating its beauty, it is most lovely
sight, and was thought so by most, if
not all present. The performance were
good, and the arrangements admirably,
and Mr.. Kane deserve all praise from an
appreciative public. In saying what we
have of the girls, we would not detract
from the boys the mead of praise due
them. They looked well, in their dress,
their department., while in view was
good, and they performed admirable

limbs loss of appetite and fever, who sudden
Iy get well after cholic followed by Shiny,

of similar character.

Bennington, Vt, says Brandreth's Pills cured
him of Dyspepsia, after being afflicted with
it over five years. His friends and doctors
considered his recovery impossible; but six
boxes of Brandreth's Pills restored his health
perfectly.
A young lady of Mount Pleasant was sorely
troubled with Tape-worm. ALL advice and
medicine failed to help her. She had no rest.
Thin, careworn and unhappy, she looked the
picture of misery. At last she concluded to
try Brandreth's Pills. In one year she took
seventy two boxes. They brought away. ac-
cording to her computation, over two hun
dred yards of tape-worm. Atlen 9Th all her
bad symptoms left her; she slept and ate

stored. 82-1m

In peace mid smiles and cheersl
The day that gave our nation birth,
Baptized in blood and tears.
Let every patriots heart rejoice,
Throughout the land to see,
The dawn of the hallowed Fourth,
Anniversary c1 the free.
Let the wide -mouthed cannons roar,
Ger mountains, hills, and plains,
From Atlantic's to Pacific's shore,
In honor of the same.
Up with our flag on shore and tide,
Wave it Ger land and sea-
The nations hope-the nations PRIDE
The emblem of the free.
It is the day that ''tried mems SOULS"
In Independence Hall,
Where patriots ninety-three years ago,
PROCLAIMED liberty to all.
1t drew the scene at Bunker Hill,
Where the patriots fell;
The sufferings ct Valley Forge
Oh! it tells the story we'll!
The crossing of the icy Delaware,
The strife on Monmouth's plain,
At Trenton-the Siege of yorktown,
Where many heroes were slain.
Where traitors in battle array,
On MisSissippi's shore,
Yielded to brave Grant on the day,
Made sacred ever more.
Day that invites at Gettysburg,
The nation to the graves,
Where repose the ashes of the brave,
Who died its fla; to save.
The day that recalls the deeds done,
By the patriot of yore,--
The great immortal Washington,
Asleep on Potomac's shore.
Hail to the day the glorious Fourth I
When Freedom burst its chainsi--
The day that Liberty went FORTH
And tyranny ceas'd to reign!
