DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 22.-Upon reassembling
of the democratic convention the chair
man of the committee on contested seats re-
ported. The committee recognized county
democracy as a regular delegation from
New York city, but with the view to the
success of the party at the polls and for
purpose of securing the entire harmony,
they recommended that the New York re-
presentation be divided as follows: Kings
county democracy SO mem bers; Tammany
"a; Irving Hall 10. The report was unani-
mously adopted amid vociferous applause.
A resolution from the state committee was
adopted recommending that in future
primary elections be held by election dis
tricts for the election of delegates to con-
vention in the city of New York, under
the auspices and direction of the state com
mittee until such time as the various
factions of that city may agree as to the
proper mode of electing delegates. The

ApircH BATTLE BETWEEN COW BOYS.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Sep. ga special
from Denver gives the particulars of
twelve-sided duel between COW boys: Geo:
Howard, owner of herd of three thous-
and cattle, and John Heeley, owner of
four thousand, were driving in company
from Arizona, east. North of Trinidad,
on the Plains, the two herds were to sep
arate, Howard to follow the Santa Fe trail
to Kansas City, Heeley to drive north to
Denver. On the route an accidental eX
change had been made, and Howard in
sisted on having his stock out, but was un
willing to deliver Heeleys, and it was fl
nally agreed to settle the matter by bat
tie between six picked men of each party.
Accordingly 10 men arranged themselves
on horseback, the two sides fifty feet
apart, and at a signal from the employers
the fight was to begin. At the first fire
four men were instantly killed. Geo.
Lester, of Heeley's party, was shot through
the breast. One of Howard's men fell
with a ball through his head, and two
others of the same party were shot
through the heart. Dismayed, the How
ard party, with the exception of their en-
ployer, fled TO their camp. Heeley then
rode up to Howard and proposed that
they fight it out. Howard declined, say
tied according to the terms of the battle
made before hand. This settled the mat
ter and an equitable change of mixed cat
tie was then made. The dead were bur
led by the other men of both herds, and
the drovers and those in charge reported
for their different routes.

His Great Gain.

Some said he was killed, and others
asserted that he was only dangerously
hurt, but when the reporter pushed
through the crowd, he discovered that
the victim had simply lost thumb by
the fall of the plank he was assisting to
raise.
1t was his left thumb, and he was a
strawberry peddler, and had measured
that thumb over ten thousand times.
Poor man! / see how it is" sighed
the reporter. s'This is terrible loss to
you just at the opening of the berry
season."

WANTED-A CHRISTMAS STORY.

About holiday time it is the custom
OF good newspapers to do something
out of the common line. This some
thing generally takes the form of a
special holiday edition in which all
statistical and other information OBJ
tainable concerning the immediate
locality where the papers are published,
appears. Such special editions tax the
resources Of the establishments where
published to the utmost, and cost a
great deal of money. The TIMES is
as yet to poor to indulge in such
luxury, but as it desires to have some
thing out Of the usual line about holi-
day time, and in order to promote the
cultivation Of thought and original
composition in the community, as well
as to exhibit to the TIMES S readers the
merit which is well known to exist in
many channels not at other times
offered an opportunity for apprecia-
ton in type, the publisher has con-
cluded t. offer SO in gold coin as a
premium for the best prize Christmas
story received from this date until
December 20--by which time the coa-
tributions will be opened.
The stories should not contain over
2,l6O words, nor less than $50 words.
Allowing six words to line, and laO
lines to a column, this gives room
for stories OF u to three columns.
Contributions may be descriptive, his
torical or sentimental, but original:
and they may be in prose or verse.
The competition for the prize will be
restricted to unmarried ladies of the
Wood River and Sawtooth region.

This experience is not unusual in
the newspaper business, and purchas-

from an establishment generally find

they do find it out they are seldom, as

THE COMBINATION LETTER. SHEET
Writing Paper, Postage Stamp and En-.
yel0p Combined.

This style Of letter in the near flu
ture will be very different from that
used at present. The Postmaster
General has concluded a contract
with Leo Ulrich, Of St. Louis, for the
use OF his ingenious invention Of
combination letter-sheet and envelop.
BY the NEEDLE of January next, this
invention will be on sale at the prin-
cipal postoffices in the shape of a
letter-sheet, envelop and postage
stamp combined, all for three cents,
and circular letter and stamp for one
cent, adding the cost of the paper.
The single letter-sheets are manufacs
turcd with gummed flaps, which, when
the sheet IS folded, lap over two open
edges and secure the missive. A
Government stamp will be embossed
on one Of the flaps, which comes over
the letter like the flap Of an enyelop,
and it IS scaled and stamped with the
same motion. The stamp will be where
the old waters and seals used to be.
instead Of on the upper right hand
cornor as at present. Postmasters
will not have to cancel the stamp, as
the letter can not be opened nor the
embossed stamp removed without
destroying the stamp.
