We can find to such positions-men of ability
aud experience, when they can be bad-and
according to past usases and customs in Sc
lecting our delegates from different portions
of the county in turn, Middleway district
would be entitled to one delegate at the fall
election. l therefore suggest the name of
John ". Grantham, Esq, who has so ably
and efficiently represented us heretofore, in
both houses of our State Legislature, as q
suitable person for the position. l think his
past course has proven satisfactory to any IN.
biased mind A VoTER.

How He Astcnished the Bull.

A Glen Sutton (Vt.) correspondent
relates that while young man named
Pelkie was out hunting few days ago
ne CHANGED to espy a fox industriously
digging for mice about decayed stump.
Between himself and the mouse-hunter,
reclining upon the ground, quietly
chewing his cud, was huge bull. eau
tiousiy advancing, our hero reached the
unsuspecting bovine; dropping upon
his knees and carefully resting his gun
across the animals back, he pulled the
trigger. The aim was true, and sly
Reynard fell dead, but wasn't the bull
astonished, though? Springing to his
feet with roar, he ran over Pelkie
about forty times, and rushed away
snoring with terror. The first thing
our friend saw ON opening his eyes was
the bulls tail cleaving the air like Il
meteor, about mile away, and the
dead fox lying upon the ground hard
by. The sight of the latter reassur ed
him, and securing it, he limped home
ward, resolved that though great the
tribulation he would never again use a
live bull for hreastwork.

Gen. Bussey, as chairman of the
committee Of arrangements, then add
dressed the convention on the naviga-
ton of the Mississippi river, showing
that the stream ID natural, aud the only
means of transportation Of advantage
to the country. He drew attent ion to
the fact that our government was blind
to its own interests by allowing great,
natural, and advantageous thoroughfare
to be unused. He also favored the
Texas and Pacific railroad.
Edward d. Holton, of Milwaukee,
temporary chairman, also addressed
the convention.
A committee Of one from each state
was appointed on credentials. After a
recess the convention permanently Or
gained by the election of Fltzhrgh
Lee, of Virginia, president, H. G. Hes

vice president from each state repre-
sented.
Committees were appointed on the
Pacific road improvements, of the
Mississippi river, and on foreign trade,
after which the convention adjourned
until the following day. ......
The second day the convention

the Texas Pacific railway. Seventeen

THE Toronto Globe does not believe
that disaster will befall the British
troops in Khyber pass, but says eff a
heavy disaster should befall the British
troops, it would be far more likely to
occur during the march in the difficult
passes beyond Jellalabad. II was in
these passes that the fearful massacre
of1S42 was perpetrated. If the British
should be defeated in an assault upon
Cabul, and then should find the passes
through which they would have to re-
treat on Jclalabad occupied in force,
the Cabul massacre might be repeated.
