MT. Silas Thompson, the Republican can- didate for Representative, town of Orange, who has been i'll with typhoid fever, is con
 vaIescent, though still weak and unable to leave the house, and owing to his enfeebled condition he was not appraised of his nomina- tion or that an election was to be held, nei- ther of which facts have yet been conmuni- cated to him His nomination was tribute from the citizens of Orange to an old and much esteemed citizen, and had he heen in health there is but little doubt that he would have been the winning candidate, the town being Republican, although the Democrats put up one of the strongest and most popu- lar of candidates, Gen. E. E. Bradley. The serious illness of Mir. Thompsonled to gen.
 eral impression that he would not be able to oficiate if elected, his recovery being slow, and there was but little hard work done on the Republican side. Asit has turned out no doubt MT. Thompson will be best satisfied, owing to his state of health, and will congrat-
 ulate his friend the General on having won.

A Boy Shot.

On Saturday afternoon last 8 number of little boys, from 2 to 10 years of age, taking advantage of the holiday, went out on Asy- 1um avenue to gather walnuts and chestnuts, at place near the residence of the late Jon- Rthan Goodwin. While thus engaged a man with gun came along who was also nutting, and ordered them to leave the grounds, which they prepared to do; but one of the number, son of John Kennedy, merchant tailor on State street Giving at 69 Elm street not go- ing so fast as the man desired, the latter raised his gun and fired at him. Possibly the gun was not loaded with shot, but the boy was so near as to receive quantity of the powder in his face, and piece of the wad- ding tore of the skin of part of his fore head. The boys eyelashes and eyebrows were burned of, and his face is indelibIy marked with the powder. No complaint has been made against the man, who is not known, but the affair should be investigated. -HHTff0rG IinlRS
