POLITICAL.
We are close enough to Hartford to know that
the Democratic political cauldron is now at n ful
boil The columns of candidates in the last issue
of The .EgiS contain the names of men known to
us to he worthy of the confidence OF the people
aud whose nomination would insure an easy
Democratic victory i'll November. Ii, therefore,
the Democracy of Hartford does not name an in
vincible ticket, it can be attributed only to the
lack of wisdom of the voters on next Saturday.
In this county, also, the political kettle is warm
ing up. Our district, the eleventh, has quite a
number OF candidates for the several oices.-
Less than half a mile from our station is the sum
the choice of the journal and probably of our
county for Governor Mr.. George Yellott, of our
Valley, is spoken of for sheriff.
Mr.. J. II. b. Parlett, the present incumbent, and
Jno. W. Burton, ESQ.,, both of this district, will
probably contest for county commissioner, al
though Mr.. Parlett has also been mentioned for
county treasurer. 1t will he remembered that
this county has only three commissioners for the
thirteen districts, which makes the office a very
Mr. VIM. ii. Richardson, of Upper Falls, better
known as Billy Barlow, of the Baltimore county
Union, is IL candidate for the Legislature A cir
cular is out in MIR. Richardson interest, which
is addressed TO Democrats, and yet is aceolnpa-
MED by copy Of the Union, a well-known Repnbss
lican journal. The contest for the nomination of
States Attorney in this county, will he lively

Mcintosh, NJ Charles Burke and Chas. H. Fen
dali.
Altogether the outlook is for an active cam
pagn among the Democrats. The Republicans,
ms yet, are quiet, but will doubtless awaken in
time to have bitter fight among themselves,
and then settle down until another election.
Aside from party politics. there is a candidate
who has hosts of friends and earnest workers in
his behalf, and his triumphant election is already
conceded. His name is Local Option.
SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
1t was my privilege to attend the Hartford Snn-
day School Convention, at Aberdeen, last week
II was grand success, and was one OF the best
If not the best Convention ever held in Hartford,
The preparation for these Annual Conventions is
attended with much care and labor. This year
the perfection of the arrangements was due
largely to the efforts of Rev. VIM. II. Ilarzell,
the retiring president of The Union. To Mr.
IIartZel belongs also the honor of first suggesting
the formation of the Hartford County Sunday
School Union, and of being the author of its ad-
mrablc constitution. Hartford is the banner
county of the State for thorough organization in
the sabbath School work. The enjoyment of the
Convention III Aberdeen was greatly increased by
the hospitahlc reception the delegates received
from the people of the vicinity. To ltcv. j. w.
steele, especially. is due the praise of all for his
successful efforts To have all provided with COM
Portable homes.
There was one sad feature of the Convention.
II was on Wednesday afternoon, when the time
came for Rev w l.. kieler to leave. lie had
remained in the county to attend the Convention
before assuming charge of his new field of labor
ut Mcrccrshurg. Pa, and now when it was known
that he was to go from among u.s. every heart
seemed to feel the loss Mr.. kicticr has been
most powerful worker in the sabbath School
cause, Temperance, and in fact every good work,
aud his removal will be felt not only in his own
congregation but throughout the whole county.

While Mrs NanhUrn and her two sis tcrs were

and fortunately sustained only slight injuries.
