E. G.. Stevens & Daughter, conveyan-
GERS, are doing a good business in Boston.
| The junior member Of the firm is thus
described by the Post: GA quiet little
lady, essentially feminine in a delicate
blue muslin dress, with pretty over
dress of black silk, is the, presiding
genius of the place. IF any one looks
for loud, busting woman, one of the
kind denominated in Yankee parlance
smart, he will most certainly be dasap-
pointed, for Miss Stevens is not one of
that class. Neither is she one of the
typical strong minded, tall, angular,
specialized and vixinish. She is rather
below the medium height, somewhat
slight, with delicate face, that yet
shows strength and determination Her
hair is short and inclined to curl, and
her eyes frank and honest and very blue.
She has remarkably sweet voice, and
her manners are gentle and retiring. For
several years she was employed in the
Mlddlesex registry of deeds, office, and
during all that time she was studying
hard at what she fully intended to make
a profession Fitted at last in every
particular, thoroughly versed in every
branch of her chosen calling, she asso-
ciated herselfwith her father, and opened
an office under the name of E. G.. Stevens

CHICKEN THIEVES. some time past
Mr.. A. s. Miller and several others living
about seven miles southwest of this city, on
the state line, have been visited quite often
by thieves of the above description, but nc
clue could be found as to who were the per-
petrators of the thefts, until on Monday night
of last week. A man living with Mr.. Miller
heard strange noises on the night id question.
and on the following morning the deep baes
notes Of favorite chanticleer were missed
from the barn yard reveille. A search dis
closed the fact that several hi3kens, turkeys
and geese were not present or accounted
for" and still further search showed the
tracks of the raiders, which could be follow
ed quite a distance in the direction of this
city.
Two young men were suspected, and Mr..
Miller came to this place on Monday last to
make inquiries. He found several of his
fowls-some of them at the house of Mr..
Ernst, who had purchased them of the young
men on the Tuesday morning before. A de-
scription of the partiesby Mr.. Ernst confirm
ed the suspicious of Mr.. Miller, and the young
men were confronted. They acknowledged
the theft, and we believe compromise was
made without their being brought to trial.

The Republican Congressional Con

to meet in this city on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER next, at noon. Each Senatorial
and each Assembly district will be Ell
tied to two delegates in the Convention.
Several gentlemen have been mention
ed as proper persons to succeed General
Paine in Congress, but public opinion
does not seem to have settled down upon
any one in particular, nor has there been
any very active electioneering for the
nomination. Doubtless there are several
gentlemen ambitious of receiving the
nomination, who are working for it in a
quiet way, but at present there appears
little prospect Of any great excitement or
rivalry III the convention. Those whom
We have heard mentioned in connection
with this nomination are Judge Lyon of
Racine, Mr.. Head of Kenosha o. II.
Waldo, Asahel Finch, Charles Ilsley,
John Nazro and Il. III. Broadhead, of this
city. These. are good men and either of
them would make faithful and efficient
representatives There are othe1T capable
men in the district, many of them, but
we have only mentioned those whose
names have been prominently mentioned
in our hearing in connection with this
position. 1t is to be hoped that the
primary meetings for the choice of dele
gates to the Convention will be well
attended, that the delegates may repre-
sent the real interests of the district
that they may be men who will know
how to choose suitable candidate re-
gardless of any personal influence or bias.

K very interesting case Of Enoch Ar
denism has just transpired at Rock Is
land, ILL.,, resulting in the reunion Of two
hearts and souls that had been separated
for nineteen years. The hero of the ro-
nance emigrated from Ohio to California
a short time after marriage with pretty
little maiden of the former State. For a
year or two he wrote to her regularly,
but then followed a season of suspense,
and she did not hear from him for ten
years. She removed her residence to
Rock Island, and was persuaded to pro-
cure divorce and marry an old friend,
who treated her with cruelty. A few
days ago the first husband returned from
the Pacific slope sought her out, and
without the formality of another divorce,
carried her off bag and baggage, toward
the Rocky mountains. Husband No
seized the furniture and was content.

them to spend an evening at his house,
and provided such delicacies as he deem
ed likely to be most enjoyed by them.
The time fixed for the interesting party
arrived, but nobody came. When half
an hour had been thus spent in frQitless
waiting, the Doctors lady rang for a
maid Ga fresh one, not yet quite accus-
toned to all the ways of the house,
whose duty it was to op,n the hall door.
She entered with an air and aspect which
gave token that more than the heat Of
the weather had been exciting her..
