That Other Convention.

The work of the first convention of the
Democracy of this Congressional district
having all been knocked into pie by the
withdrawal of Mr.. Shaw, and call having
been issued for new primaries and another
conventon-whichm met ut iavre de Grace
on WeducSday-to go through the forms
and set up Talbot, who upset by the
first, the boys of this county We're on hand,
in Elkton, on Monday last. Twas not Il
joyful meeting. No one seemed to be Salts
fled with the state of affairs. The 5Xi's
were mournful very. They didn't seem to
understand how it was they had been so
hosted by the Ring" They just seemed
to feel like ga fellow who was called and
couldn't come" but the cjrc|" was on top
and orders had been issued and must be
obeyed. So they kind of dropped Into the
meeting room and formed II very quiet
gathering. Nobody seemed to care whether
school was full or not, so no roll of delegates
was called
Mr.. EveriSt was selected as chairman and
the inevitable Milton y. as secretary. Cen
eral Crothers, of the heretofore victorious,
but now humilated, square, sadly proposed
TO Scrd back the same delegation, which
was agreed to, and the convention adjourn
ed almost in tie tcinkling Of an eye. 1t
seemed to us some eyes did twinkle and we
thought we observed q bit If cry; on the

The district convention met at Havre tie
Grace, on Wednesday last, according TO
call. 1t was not Il whit more joyful Il meet
ing than Cecil'S county convention. Had
every member worn Grape upon his hat, the
funeral appearance of the occasion would
not have been greater. DIR. Watts, of Car
Toll, was called to the chair, and the coun-
ties We're forthwith called upon for nominal
tons. Baltimore named j. Fred Talbot:
Carroll and Hartford had no nominations:
and Cecil hot nothing to sag. This was I'M
usual, as Cecil people generally have a great
deal to say; but the delegate who made this
announcement meant they hal notltng to
SdHH tbs time and mater these circumstances.
And then Talbot, that able CD representa-
tive, was nominated by acclamation. There
wasn't iluch of 4 furor-aot dLu i'll fact:
twas more on the burial order. There
wasn't exactly any weeping: but privately
much khaSiting oftr"th. In the evening j.
Fred talked to the boys, and Mr.. German,
Mr.. Stephenson Archer, and others made
speeches, and thus ended these mournful
ceremonies But the "end of all is not
yet"

agreed not to interfere with the Reybold

/and river points on the Eastern and Wes-

your welfare and that Of our common
country. Look at all the countries where
British free trade has been introduced.
Look at suffering, starving. down-troddcn
Ireland. Look at poor famine-stricken
India, where once prosperity and manu-
featuring activity prevailed, covering the
land with happiness, comfort and plenty.
When the inhabitants of England were
living in huts without chimneys, save a
hole in the roof, the inhabitants of India
carried the manufacture of cotton to such
a degree of perfection that a garment
could be drawn through common finger
ring. Now all her manufactures are de-
stroyed to make room for British goods,
and that once prosperous and happy peo-
pie are reduced to absolute starvation.
And now you are asked to introduce the
same system into this fair land. In India
a woman can earn at hard labor III the
field twenty-five cents day. Look at
this picture. If you like it. vote the
Democratic ticket: if you don't like it.
vote to let well enough alone. 5.

Our old friend, Thomas Peterson, of the
Fourth district, has, he says, been often I'M
decided in his mind when to pick his Win
ter apples. For the information of other
farmers, he reports that last season he pick
ed the fruit of Il " Pennock variety-an
apple that usually does not keep very well
in the dark of the moon, sign of the heart,
anllwhen the Spring came he still had good
Arm fruit, while all his neighbors' fruit had
rotted before the Winter was half over
He recommends this period rs the picking
time, and believes that apples picked then
will us Winter fruit keep better than any
other.
How beautifully Elkton young men
can dress up and form Il front line on each
side of the passage way from Il church door
to the pavement is remarkable. This ma
nuuvre may be witnessed at the time of

town, upon any fair Sunday evening. And

A Cunning Incident.

An amusing scene was witnessed on the
marsh on Tuesday. One of our young sports,
on rail bird murder intent, stood proudly in
the bow of his skitf with brecch loader in
hand, and as the boat entered the marsh
said to hts culore.! pusher: CHOW, then,
push her in and put them up and | will
drive their tails up to their ears" As he
spoke, the pusher gave tremendous shove,
and the marsh being thin at that point the
boat glided ahead SO rapidly that it went
from under him and left him tioundcring in
the water. The gunner, as soon as he could
steady himself, looked back and asked:

FARMING AND THE WEATHER.
Many farmers have finished sowing
their wheat Many more are bending
their efforts toward the same end. The
low price of grain and high price of fer
tiliZerS does not deter them from seedin"
the usual quantity. The recent refresh
ing rain is welcome to everybody. Sew
cral nights last week Jack Frost was
feeling around with his chilly fingers for
the tender plants, causing the ladies 4
measure of solicitude for the safety of
their outdoor flowers.
DEATH AND SICKNESS.
The sudden demise of Mrs. Harriet
Mahoney cast a gloom over a wide circle
of friends who sustain the loss of a kind
neighbor and sympathizing friend. No
less distressing was the sudden death of
a little seven-year old son of VIM. Good
now, which occurred on Thursday of last
week Much sickness prevails among
the children that attend Warburton $
school; SO much so that the school is
closed for the present week. Diphthera
prevails.
