choose delegates to the republican state
and county conventions. To represent all
the republicans on the east side of the
town, not quite half there are in town,
two men attended, and there were at the
said meeting, all told, six or eight. These
primary meetings are vast and august as
semblages. Yet gor popuR, cor dei-the

Three delegates were chosen to the state
convention, all solid men, j. n. Sykes,
Henry b. Kent and J. NJ. Griffith Whom
they supported in said convention we know
not. Their fathers probably voted for that
good old mason OF masons, George Wash
ington. and they have been accustomed
heretofore to vote for secret society men,
masons and odd fellows, etc. But whether
they would vote for a granger we don't
know. They have taken arsenic all along,
but whether they took Paris green at Mont
peler we can't say. And whether they
there favored the attempt of one of ma
lures literary journeymen to make man,
we know not. Some like like the unas-

whom ''latn is no more dllicile, than to a

not yet to have noticed that.

near us several items of more or less in

at Woods mill, a wild bushy rancho on
Peru mountain about three miles east of
us, met with an "accident." The "baby."
and wanted his father to shoot it, which he
neglected to do. So master "babv" ran
away and caused his parents the greatest
possible alarm and distress. But after n
long and exciting search by a dozen per-
sons here and there and IN a legion of
bushy byways, the little fugitive was found
AT the house of Mr. Hugh Hughs near our
village. Had he wandered the same dis
lance IN almost any other direction, il is
probable he would have been found, if
found at Gil, too late. Our village schools
closed last week. Average attendance of
both schools about sixty. And now a va

Mr.. Daniel Crandal of this village re-

eighteen years ago. She was utterly help
