On motion, the officers We're made perma-
nent, and the convention proceeded to bal
lot for delegates TO represent the county in
the congressional convention, which meets
early in September at Westminster. At
least, inas,nuch as the convention was called
for that purpose, it is supposed that was
what the delegates We're selected for, hut
the convention was SO intent upon getting
the right men that nothing was said about
what they We're to do or where they Were

the convention adjourned.
The result is the third triumph of the OH

ton, augurs well for the ultimate and easy
triumph of IepubliCanism.

engineers, has been employed during this
week i'll making Il survey of the Elk river
between the bridge at the cauSeway and the
confluence of the Little Elk, preparatory to

feet deep at ordinary low water and of such

A Rare Thing.

Last Wednesday afternoon, 4 horse driven
by Mrs Harry Larzaiere became frightened
near the corner of High and Church streets,
at the top of the carriage to which he was
harnessed, one of the blinds of his bride
being out of order allowing him to get Y
glimpse of it, and started off down High
Street at frightful rate of speed to the
foundry, near which the plucky woman,
who was accompanied by little child, sue
ceeded in stopping his mad career. This is

women would have jumped out and proba-
bly, been seriously, perhaps fatally, injured.

did not light squarciy upon their feet in

ing from stiff necks and ankles from try
ing to face two ways at once. But the
star performance of the whole concern
was trying to straddle horses going in
opposite directions. The team was part,
