THURSDAY. JANUARY 5. 1911,

PoLITIcAL Notes.-The republicans of New
Hampshire held their state convention, yester-
day, at Concord Some fifteen candidates
sought the nomination for governor and re-
ceived votes, but, on the FIRST ballot, James Pike,
of Newmarket, received 292 of the GAG votes.
He was afterwards nominated by reclamation.
D. W. Buckminster, of Portsmouth, was nomi-
mated for the office of railroad commissioner
Ia Missouri, the legislature has assembled,
and the two separated wings of the republican
party, are trying to unite. On arriving at JEFF
ferson City, Wednesday, the republican mem
bers of the legislature held caucus to establish
union and concert Of action. Speeches in favor
Of reunion were received with applause. There
seemed good prospect of union but nothing
was actually determined. If they unite, they
viii have control of the legislature and elect a
United States senator; but the majority will be
small, and the union must be very complete to
be elective, The democrats wish to caucus
with the "liberaP republicans. They have
expected to control the legislature by means of
such '1iberal" help; and the following can
diiates for the senatorship have appeared
among them: J. D. Phelps, S. I. Glover,
Shields, Judge Woodsen and Gen. Craig. But
two republican candidates are named, Judge
Wagner and Col. Benjamin. The latter is a
good man for the place He IS, at present, a
member Of the house.
In Michigan there is very warm and active
canvass for the election of United States SEN
ator The term of Senator Howard is about to
expire, and several candidates are in the field
against him, for the next term, the most prom-
nent being Thomas W. Ferry and Austin Blair,
both now members of the house, and VIM. A.
Howard. Hon. Jacob NJ. Howard the present
senator, seeks reelection. He is vastly supe-
rior to his colleague, Mr.. Chandler, in every re-
spect. If Mr.. Chandler were now canvassing
for reelection, we should hope to see him de-
feate1. 1t is said that Mr.. Ferry appears to be
the strongest candidate against Senator Howard
The meeting of the legislature has redoubled the
activity of those engaged in the canvass; but
thu question will soon be settled,-by the re-
election of Senator Howard, we hope. If so, let
the other asplrants prepare a crusade against
his colleague.

A BEAR PLAYING WITH AGRICULTURE.-Out
in Porcupine valley, Nevada, big cinnamon
bear came down to the sta ton buildings from
the mountains, about the middle of the after
noon, during furry of snow, and got after
some Young hogs that were running about the
Darn, some zoo yards from the house The sud.
den appearance of bruin created a great com
motion in the barnyard-the hogs boohing and
snoring and the fowls cackling at a great rate.
Tue noise attracted the attention of the men al
the station, and going toward the barn thcv
saw the bear in full chase and close upon the
heels of porker. Finding the bear close upon
him, the hog lodged behind a harrow that was
leaning against the side of the barn, when bruin
ran his head through the harrow mp 10 his
shoulders in a vain attempt TO reach the fright.
cued pig. The pig darted from its cover, and
the bear, in pulling to withdraw his head, was
caught in the side of one of his Jaws by the
sharp point Of the harrow teeth. The bear be.
gan pulling TO free himself, when down came
the harrow, and being turned tooth side down,
the fastening process was most substantially
finished, as, not only the tooth that was in the
jaw was forced into the ground, but all the rest
were similarly fastened and bruin most efeetual-

lion, Thomas Rand, keeper of the station, ran

soon dispatched the varmint. The bear weighed
nearly 400 pounds dressed.

porters, who receive no ether salary" The
number seems eXtravagant for so small an es-
Enlistment, but only two were actually visible.
A well-dressed young man, particularly strong
in the departments OF silk hat and watch chain,
opens the door upon ring of bell, and in
sists upon accompanying the visitor through
the rooms, and reciting the subject of each pic
ture, albeit they are plainly labeled with all the
particulars he is able to give, so that all may
read for themselves. About eight rooms are
filed with the paintings-perhap seventy in
cumbersome elegantly framed and some with
out frames, representing generals, captains, SER
geants and privates, with an occasional naval
officer or chaplain or hero of the Mexican war,
and one great portrait of Mrs. Harrison Gray
OTIS. Some of the portraits are of members
of the old Boston families, the Dwights
and their kindred; many are of the shoemakers
OF Abingdon. Some are admirably painted, the
work of artists of skill and reputation. Others
are the worst daubs my eyes have ever rested
upon, They are arranged without ORDER and
with an entire disregard for the requirements of
the light, some being hung against the windows,
so that the light shines through the canvas. The
house is chilly, and without gas fixtures, The
elegant parsonage who shows the guest about is
very ready with information in reply to ques-
tons, and assures the inquirer that Mr.. Schwabe
has purchased all these pictures, that the fam
lilies of the dead soldiers have given nothing
toward them, except perhaps an insignificant
tritte of few dollars in one or two instances,
that the portraits here displayed number $50,
and that twice as many more belong TO the gal
lery and are expected every day, though they
may not arrive till spring, and that grand gal
lery, adequate for the proper accommodation of
the whole collection, is to he built in the space
now standing for backyard on this same estate.
A table on the stairway again forces upon the
visitors attention the duty Of remembering the
porters, which is also orally urged by young
person who appears for the purpose when that
point in the journey is reached. Altogether the
affair is a curiosity and there is degree of mys-
terry about it which your readers must solve for
themselves.
