A Correspondent ofthe n. Y. Tribune
makes the following estimate of the
strength of the several prominent candi-
dates for the Presidency.
For Mr.. Blsino-Maine, New Hampshire
part OF Massachusetts say Is votes out OF
20. Rhole Island 10 votes from New York
Delaware, Maryland Virginia. North Car.
DINA, LOUISIANA Michigan, Wisconsin,. Ill
inois, Iowa, Minnesota. Nebraska, Kansas.
California. Oregon. Nevada. and the nine
TerTiories-in all 80 votes.
For Mr.. Morion-lndisnS, Missouri Ar
kansas. Mississippi, Alabama. Texas. Ten
nessee, West Virginia. Georgia, Florida.
and The District OF Columbi.-TotAl. lSS
votes
For GOV. acknowledgements -
votes.
FIR Gov. Hayes-Ohio's "a votes.
For Mr.. Consling-About so votes from
New York and possibly the Is votes OF
New Jersey.
For Br:>tow-Nermout. Connecticut mart
OF Massachusetts,. few votes from New
York. South Carolina. II the Chamber ain
party controls the Convention, sud the
Kentucky delegation less than IS votes
Ia AL This i, very small showing. bat
it must be borne in mind that the above e.
based upon the probable success OF the Or
gained efforts being made in their Oehalf.
while Mr.. Bristow's candidacy depends en-
tireiy upon the breaking down of these or
+ CARNATIONS by the force OF public opinion
tie i not around tfying 10 bag delegates
/ like MIR. Blaiae or Mr.. Morton. and If he.
succeeds It will be because the snAres OF
those experienced fowlers will be swept
away hy the rising gale of the popular
will
Mr. Bristow will therefore prove either
very weak candidate or IN irresistible
one. IL seems certain tina, he has broken
in upon Mr.. Blain's forces in New England.
and II he can do the same thing in Illinoi
ana the North West, and can get two-thirds
OF the Ohio delegation on the second bal
lot, the tide might set in his favor too
powerfully - be turned. IL must be adj
! mitted. however, that the prospects. as
viewed from Washington level. strongly
favor Mr.. Blaine.

Silas is one of our most enterpris-

bride is equally well known as one of
the fairest and most lovely young
ladies of the city. The large party
present were profuse in their con-
gratulations, and the occasion was a
most happy one. After refreshments
were served, an excellent string band
furnished some very fine music, which,
interpreted with pleasant conversa-
ton, served to pass the time away
until the small hours began.
The COURIER Office, while wishing
the happy couple all the happiness in
the world, would also thank Mr.. and
Mrs. E. B. Davis for their kind re-
membrance to this Office.

An Act Of hsroisvn.

This morning about9 o'clock two
small boys, the Youngest about six
years old and the other probably
seven or eight, were playing on the
stone wall betweenMrs. Nevills build
ing on Court street, at the rear end Of
the building, when the youngest miss
ed his footing and fell of into deep
water. The little fellow went down
twice and when he came to the sur
face the third time his little compan-
ion plunged into the water, caught
the boy by the hair with one hand
and managed to get q hold on the
stone wall, to which he chung, hold.
ing the little fellows head out of the
water until assistance arrived. We
learn the above particulars from w
II. Caldwell, who was standing or
the d. v. railroad bridge, so far away
that he couldn't reach the little fell
lows In time to render assistance him
self, but called some one to their res
cue.
That little fellow, whose name w
failed to learn, showed presence O.
mind well worthy of emulation by
older people, and with that sort o
pluck will, no doubt, make a credita
BILE mark in the world.

Commences on Tuesday, the 10th
inst. The weather promises to be
fine, and the interest taken generally,
is greater than ever shown before.
Consequently the Fair promises to
exceed, both as regards numbers pres
ent and the articles exhibited, all the
other Fairs we have ever had. Six
military companies in full uniform,
will be present to compete for prizes,
and of themselves will make fine
show. Our farmers ought to turn
out en- mdsse, and bring in their stock
and products Of all kinds, and show
the people of other counties that
Wapello is not behind any of them
agriculturally, mechanically, or any
other way.
