REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.


In accordance with the call of John L. Watson
County Chairman, the County Convention of the
Republicans of York met in the Court House
at l2 o'clock, NJ, last Saturday The occasion
brought quite number of colored men to town,
| and as the proceedings of the Convention were
commenced with open doors, the seating capaci-
ty of the court room was cleverly filled with

egates to the State Republican Convention,
(Which met in Columbia last Tuesday, four del
egates to the Congressional Convention of the
Fifth district, to meet in Columbia on the same
dav. and to elect County Chairman to serve for
the next two years. He saidrhe Convention had
assembled to expedite business as citizens, and
hoped the work Of tho Convention would be har-
monious, and that in the selecting of delegates,
none would be chosen except men of intelligence
and energy-men who will act fearlessly and not
as mere tools.

AN IMPRoMPTU DUEL.-Harry Clay, a
we'll known lawyer and politician, was shot
and wounded at Louisville, Kentucky, last
Saturday morning, from the, effects OF
Wepler, councilman of the Eleventh ward.
CLAY was drinking and wanted to borrow
some money from Wepler who would not
lend him as much as he wanted. Clay then
began to abuse Wepler and went out for a
pistol with which to shoot him. On his re-
turn the two men, armed with pistols, said
they were ready to fight and took their
stands. Wepler fired and the ball struck
Clay in the groin and ranged downward in
the thigh. Clay was grandson of Henry
Clay. He was one of the Arctic voyagers in
mentioned for Congress from his district.
Wepler gave himself up.

The Joke Perpetrated On the New
York Tribune by Two Praoti-
cal Jokers at Louisville.
tCourIcr.Journal.l

Quite Il joke was perpetrated on
the New York Tribune by Joe Null
haitian, Kcntucky's noted liar. About
week ago he sent a etter to the
Tribune stating that, 10 set aside all
doubts that might exist as TO the val
idity and legality of Blaine's first
marriage, he was the officiating cler-
gylnan who married them al George
town, Ky, in 1850, and as they de-
sired TO keep it secret he took the
county clerk into his confidence, and
got him to quietly issue a license,
which he retained for his protection,
and which he had in his possession,
and was ready at any time to furnish
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine with certificate
of their secret marriage. Joe signed
the letter Peter Brizendine, ID. D.,
aud gave his address as Louisville,
Ky, with Boomer, Lewis & Co.
Yesterday numerous kilograms
were received from New York in re-
sponsc to it, which proved that the
widest excitement prevailed there
over the news, Men were seen rush.
ing for Boomer, Lewis 81 Co.'s store
with regard to it. Mr.. Brizendine
who is also as great liar as Mr.
Mulhattan, did his part nobly, and
the joyful intelligence was flashed
back over the wires that Rev. Pete
Brizendine was here and that he cor
roboratcd in full, all that had beef
written to the Tribune. The rcsul
of this latest practical joke by Messrs
Mulhattan and Brizendine will b
watched for with much interest b,
the fun-loving people of the city.

Twisted Bones,

Mr.. j. r. Stewart, of Macon, Ca, a
well known and trustworthy gentle
man, makes the following statement ::
"My son who was between three and
four years old, was all drawn up
with rheumatism. His bones were
twisted, and he was all doubled out
of shape. lie suffered intense pain,
had lost his appetite, was cross and
fretful. lie was reduced to mere
skeleton, and had to be carried about
on pillow. AS these cases Of rheu-
matism, where the bones were twist
ed and the JOINTS were all crooked,
had for years bafiled the skill of the
most eminent physicians, l determin-
ed touse Swift's Specific, as had
seen testimonials from men whom
knew to be trustworthy, or similar
cases it had cured. / used two large
size bottles Of S. S. S. according to
directions, with the most satisfactory
results. My son commenced improv-
ing with the first dose ofthe medicine.
His suflerings diminished daily and
his appetite increased he became
cheerful and in good spirits. Grad :
ually he regained use of his limbs
the twisted bones and joints straight
cned out and in less than two months
he was entirely cured, and could
walk and get about as well as any
child of his age.
Beware of limitations of Swift's
Specific, gotten up by unprlncipled
parties to deceive the public; some Of
these frauds bear the lie on theil
faces purporting to be vegetable rem.
edies, when they are really nothing
but strong solutions of mercury and
