Aork County Republican COW, ni.on.
The Republicans of York County held q
County Convention yesterday full report oi
which we publish in another column. The
only balloting was for candidate for Senator
from the Ossipee district, and for County Com
i. missioner.
After the first ballot for Senator, MIRO. 'Brion,
who lacked seven votes Of majority, with
drew his name, aud the nomination of Mr..
Roberts was made unanimous.
Hon. Samuel Hanson, the candidate for SEN
ator from the First District, represented the
County in the State Senate last year. He is a
gentleman of ability, integrity and answering
fidelity to the Republican cause. He is fine
specimen OF what is called u "self-made man."
having by dint of industry and business tact
placed himself in the front rank of the business
men of York County and won an honorable
name among his fellow citizens.
Joseph G. Roberts, Esq, of Marlborough,
was formerly farmer, but of late has been in
trade. He is one of the most active and infiu-
entail Republicans in his section of the County.
He was candidate last year for Representative
from Marlborough and Hollis, and came near
being elected. Last spring his town elected
Republican town officers for almost the first
lime IN its history and there seemed to be q
strong disposition to compliment the party in
that town in the person of one of its mostinflu
entail workers by Senatorial nomination.
John B. Nealley, Esq, of South Berwick
the nominee from the Third District is law.
yer by profession, and is highly esteemed
throughout the County for his integrity and
high moral character He was pioneer in
the Republican movement, and has stood by
The party through storm and sunshine, and his
nomination gives great satisfaction.
Hon. Alfred Hull, of Shapleigh, has filled
the office of County Commissioner for several
terms, and his very superior qualifications for
that position were SO well understood, that
there seemed TO be an almost unanimous ex-
preston that he should be retained in that DO
sition. The nomination OF so true and capable
aman reflects the highest credit upon the party.
Of John Hull, of North Berwick, the nomi-
nee for County Treasurer, it may be truly said
that he is one of the best snd most courteous
officers the county ever had, and the graceful
recognition by the Convention of his worth as
public officer was well deserved and we'll be-
slowed.
The resolutions reported by G. b. Lord, Esq,
and unanimously adopted by the Convention,
were worthy of the Republicans of York
County, who seem determined to preserve their
well won reputation for discipline and party
fealty.
The proceedings of the Convention were en-
liveDed by tho music of the Dirigo Brass Band,
of Kenuebunk Depot, under the leadership of
ID
men living in the vicinity of that village This
band was organized last August and the pro-
ficiency and skill to which they have attained
is almost marvellous. Mr. Isaac NJ. Emery is
the director.
The Convention was harmonious and en.hu-
siastc and the Republicans enter upon the
campaign with determination not only to de-
serve, but to win success.

SERENADING. = On behalf of Mr..
Walker, of the REGISTER, we return
thanks to Vaas' Brass Band for the
compliment of serenade intended for
him. Had he been present he would
nave acknowledged the honor ia words
hitting the occasion. As for US, we
never made but one speech to a serenad-
ing party, and that was a short one.
We said, "Boys, what'll you take 7"
We know that speech by heart.
The Harmonic society serenaded Louis
Gaus, one of their members, this being
his birthday. From the way the glasses
ratified shortly after they were done
singing, we guess Louis made our speech
to them.

OUTRAGEOUS CARELEsSNESS.-leSter-
day morning as the express train was
passing through Ritchietown, a man
was noticed with shot gun, hunting
snipe at the pond Just this side OF the
brickyard. Seeing his game, and with
out, apparently, wasting thought on
the passing train, the sportsman raised
his gun and fired. The shot, striking
the water rebounded, and meeting one
of the car windows struck lady who
was sitting in front ofthe window, just
over the eye, iEfiicting a very severe
wound. A half inch lower aud she
would have lost her sight. A physician
who was on the train extracted the shot
and dressed the wound. Such careless
mes. in discharging firearms is only a
little short of criminal.
