THE XNIrH On. " DIsTRIcT SENA-
ToRsHIp The Republican District con-
yention, holden at Glens Falls, on Tues
day last, at which Hon. F. W. Tobey,
of Port Henry, was nominated, was a
lively affair. Three names were present
ed, one from each county in the dietriet,
viz Tobey of Essex, Little of War
rem, and Bowen of Clinton; and it was
only after a spirited contest of six hours
and after balloGng nearly thirty times,
that.a choice was effected The strife
was entirely sectional and the utmost
good feeling prevailed throughout Mr..
Fobey, although young man, has al
ready served his second term in the
more numerous branch of the legisla-
ture with much credit, taking high rank
and displaying such ability as would
seem to. merit the additional honors
which his constituency have seen fit to
hestow upon him, and we shall be pleased
to chronicle his election, which is proba-
bly, foregone conclusion. II.

CALIFORNIA is a great State. With its
'inexhaustable mines 1t was not content,
but turned its attention to agricultural
pursuits, astonishing the world with its
wheat and fruit crops. Now it has gone
into the production of cotton. 1t is esti-
mated that the crop this year viii
amount to. about ], 900 bales, and next
season a greatly enlarged area will be
devoted to this purpose.

[FrSm our Special Reporterl
". NJ. e.. A. Convention at Burning
ton.
WEDNESDAY EVENING SERVICE.

-
At the half-hour' devotional meeting
the singing was sweet and spirited; the
prayers practical, pointed and brief,
and the testimonies telling of rich eX-
periences and the rest of faith in Christ.
So great was the oneness in Christ that
strangers to toe speakers could hardly
tell to what denominations they belonged.
In testimony one minister said he had
been strangely mixed up among the de-
nominations. Said he: ''My father was
Congregationalist, my mother an Episco-
palian, was baptized by Presbyterian,
l Joined the Methodists, and my wife
was Baptist" Here's conglomerate
Christian for you. a#
At 7:45 the convention met in the
auditorium Rev. T. G. Potter offered
prayer. and the hymn beginning "Just
as l am, without one plea" was sung.
The topic assigned for the evening
was changed by the convention, and this
topic: ''The difficulties and encourage
ments in our work, was opened in dis
cussion by Rev. A. G. Stevens.
Among the difficulties mentioned were,
''the sparsely settled population in most
of our rural districts; the acknowledged
need of the presence of the working
Christians in sustaining the social meet
ings of the churches; the unusual and
growing greed for gold among the peo-
pie; a species of settled skepticism per-
vading the masses, and the lack of con-
secrated men in the Masters cause" The
announcements are: THE white fields
awaiting the laborers; the weapons in
the work and warfare, and the power to
perform our labor is of God; the pro-
mise of the Saviour: II am with you
always and:the successes of the past. "
The speaker was earnest and held the
attention of the audience closely.
Prof. Slack, of Springfield, further
discussed this topic. The work of the
associations has been fruitful of great
good the fruits of their work have been
absorbed in the churches, and added
many to them, such as shall be saved.
There is work for the young men to do,
that others and older cannot do, in
reaching and saving the youth walking
in the way of ruin. ....
''Must Jesus bear the cross alone, was
sung by the congregation.
The topic under consideration was
further discussed by George E. Davis, of
Burlington. The discouraging difficulty
is the moth of Indifference and self
satisfaction in spiritual inactivity. En-
couragements were found in report he
read from the association in Massacha-
sets. The past has been progressive
and the prospects most promising,
This discussion was closed by Rev.
w. N. Bacon. The substance of his re-
marks were as follows: We mean bust
ness venus labor for the promotion
of the cause of Christ; we toll in the
garden to keep down the weeds and thus
promote the growth of flowers, fruit and
vegetables. So we must labor in the
great moral field, and seek to bear fruit
for the honor of our God.

To the POint.

Since we have been II Troy, We have never
vet had occasion to differ with the RePslnoas.
,t that, in reply, il resorted to insult We last
week made allusioa To tho matter Of . local di-
yisisn In our town, and ar. not surprised atthe
Beps,hea.S reply. 1t is to the point-vsEy much
50. The editor Of the Chiefga crrta.a evhse'lee

thsns ,Hvevtr. last Fsll ;gsfsnsd to TIE iaea d.
vision in Troy; therefore, what the cAsf did
lat week was inconistent! 1t ispaasing strange
that no allusion was maae to that 5000. Il
would have been very pertinent T. the matter In
hand, and 20 rare IN opportunity should not
have boon permitted to 20 unimproved.
Now, We did not say that we bad ncyer heard
Of local division in Troy; for the Repsblieas
keeps it befer. the people At every election. But
We did say that We knew nothing oft in the
late City election, previously to the election !;
aud We furthermore said that We hsd never been
able TO- learn where that division limo ran, the
editorsof the Repmblieua even not being able 70
enlightcn %.
The RepsbHea.'s inuendo relative to the object
for which We were induced to come here, is of .
piece with the balance Of Its article. Those who
have been our friends since We came here, have
never intimated, in the slightest degree, that
they desired us to support any local division;
and We have peyer said word to promote that
end. We never even spoke Of the City election,
except to give the resnlt. Since We have been
here, We hsye endeavored to treat every citizen
Of Troy 10 agentlemanly manner, and think We
have succeeded. We have not been in the habit
Of slurring and insins ssting sgpinatnrn because
they have seen proper to patrOnize another pa

practice in -odr daily conversation, nor In our
paper about every other week, 70 hint that
another person who whS e6aeavoring to make
living at the same business as oursslf, was going
to play ont in q few short months. at farthrst.
And whenever We have expressed our opinion,
although good or bad, it has been received by
the public rs our own, not Is that of some per-
son who controlled us. In short, We have not
reached that condition in which men, in speak
ing Of us, compliment us with the epithet Of be-
ing somebody's cob. -'-+
We propose to keepon in the even tenor Of aur
way, even though We should occasionally fall
into the error Of differing with the Repxblicaa,
and even though that sheet should improve the
occasion, or even step out of the way to make an
occasion, TO indulge in q snarl or nm insult.

Capt. A. j. Armstrong, Of Union township, fur
nishes US the following, particulars concerning a
mast destructive prairie fire: On last Monday
evening spark caught in the prairie grass from
Mr.. Walkers stove pipe, aud the wind being very
strong from the south it spread at terrific rate.
Mr.. Walker resides on Muddy Creek, and it took
the fire but few mOuscnts To cross the prairie to
the settlement ON Hickory creek. Esquire Sears
timber was badly damaged, Mr.. Walker, yOnng
man, and Mr.. A. Smith, man of family, went out
at to back the fire. About this timo the wind
shifted to the north and drove tho fire with great
fury upon these men; escape was impossible, and
nothing remained foF them tn do but to allow it
20 sweep over them. Mr.. Walker laid down in a
bunch Of short buffalo grass bnt the fire swept
over him. He 10 dsnIeevasly injured, and may
not recover. Mr. Smith ran fifty yards through
the fire, aud was also terribly burned-prObably
will not recover. Rev. DIR. Aliens stable caught
fire when there was no grass within e. yards, the
fire. literally leaping that distance. Mr.. Allen
lost his stable, h"rse and calf Mr.. Mccoy
lust four hundred bushels of corn, hog pen aud
hogs The fire driffed to Mr.. Peac.'s place,
sweeping over it and destroying everything. The
house, all household furniture and everything
were burned. Sfr. Peace carried his daughter $50
yards through the fire, and by throwing an over
coat over her saved berlife. These prairie fires
are terrible things when they get started during
the high winds-Emporia Ners.
