POLITICss IN CHESTERFIELD. The
Republican county convention to norninate
two candidates for the house of delegates
and county officers, meets in Manchester
on Wednesday the 18th, at IL a. m. The
indications are that a strong ticket will be
made, and that the Republicans will carry
the county by decisive majority. The
nomination Of Captain Samuel f. Maddox
for the state senate gives enthusiastic satis-
faction perfect harmony prevails through
out the party, and those who opposed the
nomination are earnestly at work to ensure
its triumph. The troubles in the Con-.
'seryatiye ranks are irreconcilable, and they
appear greatly dispirited. The best in
formed among them concede the certain
defeat of DR.. Wake. ~ tasla1
The Republicans are to- have grand
barbacues at Glover Hill on the 18th, and
at the Old Courthouse on the 2Sth.

the city last night for the purpose of elect

five candidates for the house Of delegates.
The meetings were well attended consider
ing the general apathy of the Conserva-
tives. Yesterday, as a preliminary, there
was great deal Of log-rolling, pipe-laying
and wire-pulling going on in this city. The
Richmond correspondent of the Petersburg
Appeal, writing yesterday morning of the
meetings last night, observes on this point /:
"The ward meetings Of Conservatives in
this city tonight will be well attended,
and to-day there is q good deal Of wires
pulling going on. 2 People .lhapent much
hope Of getting a Jfrst-ra5e ticket. The
difficulty lies in the fact that the ward
politicians are united and will vote together
for delegates whom they know to be
pledged to their favorites, while good citi-
zens generally go into the ward meetings
without concert Of action, and either vote
for delegates of whose views they are
ignorant, or throw their ballots away upon
men who are good enough but have no
poss ble chance of election against organ

we will secure at least two or three good
men out of five, and no corrupt man can

and with nothing but the air to support it
internally. What then, can be more likely
to iniure this membrane than a sudden and
forcible compression of the air in front of it
If any one designed to break or overstretch
the membrane, he could scarcely devise a
more effective means than to bring the hand
suddenly and forcibly down upon the passage
Of the ear, thus driving the air violently be-
fore it, with no possibility for its escape but
by the membrane giving way. And far too
often it does give way, especially If, from
anv previous disease, it has been weakened.
MANY children are made deaf by boxes on the
ear in this way. Nor is this the only way
if there is one thing which does the nerve of
hearing more harm than almost any other, it
it is a sudden jar or shock. Children and
grown persons may be entirely deafened by
falls or heavy blows upon the head. And
boxing the ears produces a similar effect,
though more slowly and in less degree. II
