Taylor and Thomas b. Peddie, of Essex
G. A. Hobart, of Passaic; VIM. Walter
Phelps, of Bergen, and J Henry Stone, of
Union.
The Times further says: Con the Re-
publican side, Frederic A. Potts would
undoubtedly be the choice of his party for
Governor but it is said that under no
consideration would he accept a renomi-
nation. He might be prevailed upon,
however, should the Democrats make a
weak nomination. A strong Republican
may defeat weak Democrat, but strong
Democrat is almost sure to win. Mr..
Potts is an extensive coal operator and
spends most of his time in New York
city. Many regard him as an ''abseutee, !"
but he votes in New Jersey. Honest"
John Hill, of Morris, has served three
terms in Congress and ono term as State
Senator. He has always been an active
politician, and will be long remembered
as one of the originators of cheap postage.

WHY BARNUM NEVER WENT TO ANN
ARBoR.-The following is told by a per-
son who was, at one time, a student in
the Medical College of that city. Several
years ago, Mr.. Barnum went to Ann
Arbor to exhibit. He had made all pre-
parations for grand display and be did
not expect to be disappointed. Every
thing went on smoothly for the first three
days. On the fourth day, about two hun.
dred of the students agreed to go IN a
body, and if not allowed to enter free,
they would make considerable trouble.
Mr.. Barnum had heard some rumor of
what was to take place and caused large
platform to be erected for their accommo-
dalton. AT the usual time they put in an
appearance, but they were very much
enraged because they were obliged to pay.
They We're seated and the performance
commenced.
After the first half hour they began to
cause some disturbance, for which they
were all put out of the tent. When out
side they were able to do as they liked
and took advantage of the opportunity to
do mischief They picked the wagons all
to pieces and carried the parts over the
whole premises. They pulled up stakes
and did as much damage as was possible
for them to do. Having taking this re-
venge, they returned, and Mr.. Barnum
decided that the trouble they caused him
exceeded the profit, and he never visited
that city afterward.
