Winthrop, May 3, ~.

A WRITER in the Con serodtire, who
signs himself Liberal" makes the an
nouncement made in our columns last
week, of the names Of parties who will
come up for the Republican nominations
for county officers this fall, the occasion
for characteristic and ill-tempered criti-
cism, and Misrepresentation of the alleg-
ed manner in which nominations are usu-
ally made, and calls upon the "voters of
Buchanan county" to have something to
say in regard to such nominations. In
this latter suggestion we heartily join,
with the single reservation that Demo
cratic voters keep out of Republican con-
ventions, unless they intend to support
the candidates and principles of that
party, and Uice oersa. We think VIC can
penetrate the incognita of the Conserpa-
tsUe's correspondent, and as we have no
sort Of idea that he intends to vote for the
Republican candidates in any case, we
would suggest to him that he will find
abundant exercise for his vigilance in at
tending to the nominations of the party
with which he is affiliated The salary
question, into which he enters with so
much animation, will receive attention
in due season.

that the split opens and shuts every time

FROM WINTHROP.


Ed. BULLETIN:-It is impossible to de-
scribe the sense of relief and thankful
ness felt by our people upon the abate-
ment of the epidemic lately prevailing
here. For many years our community
has but rarely known the presence of
sickness or death. Our peculiarly health
full situation exempts US from diseases
common to most towns-especlally those
located upon water courses; so much so,
indeed, that no Indigenous case of fever
has ever occurred here. Our sense of Sc
curity has, by the late visitation of fatal
disease, been sadly dispelled, reminding
us of the oft-forgotten truth that here, as
elsewhere, the tenure of life is fearfully
uncertain The first fatal case was of the
most malignant type, but not being fol-
lowed. until some weeks had elapsed, by
others, did not create much alarm After
said period there appeared in one family
several malignant cases, of which one,
the son of Mr.. Doherty died. Your issue
of last week gave an account of the sad
and last fatality resulting from this terri
BILE scourge. By an unavoidable series of
condolences, three parturient, and for this
reason hopeless cases, occurred in rapid
succession. AS might be expected there
arose an amount of excitement and alarm
usual only at such periods. 1t is, howev-
er, pleasure and duty to note the faith
full attentions upon the sick of number
whose only motive was to aid the suffer
ing. 1t is to be equally regretted that
others exhibited a disposition to seize the
opportunity for the adyanceme Mt of per-
sonal interests.
The sunshine of spring and the passin G
away of the cloud so lately over US, is to
our people joy beyond measure.
Yours, 5.

THE reports as to the damage to fruits
of last week, are contradictory. In some
localities not much harm resulted, and in
others, the fruit buds were severely in
jured. We are inclined to think that the
different varieties of small fruit, berries
and the like, escaped almost scot free, but
apples are more or less injured every
where. Vegetables that had come out
of the ground, were of course frozen
stiff, but singularly enough, were not in
jured thereby, the ground seeming to
draw the frost out of them, so that they
went right on growing.

The hall was crowded, many being turn

The exercises consisted of charades, shad-

and those who listened to the entertain

view of the success of the sociable, it is
probable that another one will be held at
no distant day. No admission fee is
