Last night between dark and midnight, bold
but unsuccessful attempt was made to rob your
correspondent of his only Thanksgiving turkey.
What can be said Of parties who would delber-
ately conceive and coolly carry out such an infa-
nous scheme!
The facts are these-I had improvised a simple
but effective plan of refrigeration, by enclosing
the turkey in wrapper of paper, and hanging it
out of window, two stories from the ground,
where knew it would be safe from the depreds-
tons of the feline tribe and if had at any time
supposed that said turkey would have excited the
pecnlstive propensities of any member of the hu-
man family, should have felt secure, for at that
distance from the ground, it was not easy task
to reach it; that is, supposed it was not. The
sequel will show that even extraordinary precau-
tions are no match for the ingenious and schem-
ing mind of woman!
Don't start, MIR. Editor! 1t was woman; gen.

The Work Of the Convention.

The convention did some valuable
work besides presenting the country
with good candidates. In the first
place it broke the oth ;ial machine.
That s.contrivance WAS wnuad up and
~. going with vigor never known
before. and it completely failed,
making y little racket at the bcsin-
ming of the proceedings and then
running down with great rapidity.
Hereafter veters in private life will
probably express their preference
with u freedom which has not always
been permitted them.
In the next place the convention
purged the party of some noxious
material which we have been trying
for several years to Induce it to cast
out. 1t refused to admit Bass Shep-
herd. even when he came in the com
psny of Frederick Douglass. II re-
fused to admit Spencer, even when
the leading man OF his delegation
had just been authenticated, SO to
speak, by appointment to federal
Office. 1t snubbed Chief Justice
Poker Jack Mcclure. 1t treated
George William Curtis with marked
cordiaii,y. 1t kept in the background
the Kclloggs Packards and other
persons Of that class who have done
81 much discredit to Republican con-
ventions in other years.
Altogether it has done we'll. The
Republican party learns by tribula-
tion almost as much as the Democ-
rscy forgets in prosperity The

the shape of game.
To give your readers some idea Of the
spirit and energy with which the cap
tains pushed the work, will give short
account of one battle in which we had a
hand. At about l o'clock four of us
started rabbit ,,and shot at him in order
to scare him. He led off around a large
hill, Cap. Sickle following close after
him. After chasing the rabbit for two
miles, Cap. got hot, and said: "I'll have
that cotton-tail, or run till dark" Away
they went, over hills, across fences, fields,
railroad, creeks, and swamps-some-
times the rabbit had the hest of Cap,
then Cap. had the best of him; but it
was not until after hours of running
that the poor little rabbit said, "Stickle,
am gone up" Cap. raised his horse
pistol and fired, and that settled it.
Night came on, and hunters came in
from all directions. Some were laden
with game; others were less successful
but all did we'll. When the count was
made, Cap. Swineheart was ahead rab,
bits, 5 pheasants, and opossum. VIM

occasion. The morning for the hunt
came, clear, cold and frosty, but our
captains were men who had seen service
before, and had their forces out before the

went. Many laughable incidents occurred
during the day which we have not time
