Reshears for Sheriff.

We have announced j. NJ. Besh-
ears as a candidate for sheriff of Au-
drain county. 1t is hardly neces-
sary for US to speak Of Joe in this
county, as he is well known to the
readers of the Leader as a thorough
Democrat, who in times past has
done good work for the party, and
proven himself worthy of the conf.
dence and support Of the citizens Of
Audrain county. The citizens Of
this end Of the county are especially
under obligations to him for the &C.
tive work he has done in forwarding
their interests, and to whom they are
largely indebted for the rapid i'm.
proyements made here in the past ten
years. He has served as deputy
sheriff under both Glascock and
Woodward, and proved himself an
efficient officer. We are satisfied be
will make US a good sheri6-Van.

Beshears For Sheriff.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
There appears to be quite q
wrangle about who should be sheriff.
There are seven candidates; they
are all good fellows, and we pre-
sumo either one of them would fill
the place. OF n thing We are
SURE. NJ Beshears has been tried
and found not wanting and faithful.
We learn that for nearly eight years
he has been deputy sheriff. He il
fully posted with the routine duties
and in every sense Of the word COM
petent. If he is nominated there
can be no mistake. We know hs
will make a good sheriff. He is I
good democrat, and in every sense
Of the word, worthy. DEMOCRAT.

Robinson In Montgomery Ceunty.
The Warrenton Banner says that
the delegates from Warren county
are solid for Peers, and have no sec
ond choice for Congress. We think
that is selfshness. Our delegates
will be for Barker first but they will
have q second choice il they find that
Mr.. Barker cannot secure the nomin-
alton, and we are under the impress
sion that their next cheice would be
Judge Elijah Robinson. We would
rather support Robinson than any
other aspirsnt, for the simple reason
that We know him to be logically,
practically and sensibly qualified for
the position.-Welsriue Democrat.

A correspondent, writing to The

Last Friday, July 18th, one Of the

subduing him with more ease in The
water than they were doing on land.
Grant Wright took charge Of the mule
and rode him through the pond sever
al times. Charlie Wright rode horse
through. The pond is eight o. ten
feet deep in the deepest place and they
concluded to make the animal swim
through, which they did several
times. MI. Ellis could not swim but he
took hold of Charles horses tail, snd
the horse pulled him through several
times, seemingly with ease. but he
finally lost his hold in the middle Of
the pond and went down. Grant snd
Charlie we're on the animals and, not
s%uspecting anything had occurred, they
went ashore before they missed ldr.

made q desperate effort to VI him but

dirty and badly disturbed from the

extinction, in the mind OF the dIstin-
guishcd investigator is, that in the first
place, their disappearance was at q
much earlier date than is commonly
supposed. and was caused by the grad
ual lowering of the temperature until
the warmth of the earth and air was
not sufficient to hatch the eggs.
fsem which time they gradually
declined until they totally disap-
peared. When the frost and snow
began to set in, the Moa, on account OF
its great size, could not find shelter
like smaller birds. hence it would select
the places where it found the most
warmth. Thcspring water in the bone
pit being far above freezing point Tin
fact, it may have been a thermal
spring), became natural refuge which
would in some degree relieve their
suffering. Thus the period when frost
and snow set in, Mr.. Booth places as
the beginning of the deposit of bones in
the pit. The accumulation would have
been very gradual, perhaps through
centuries. and the periodical deposits
would only have increased at the same
rate as the frost and snow. This pro-
cess continuing until not even in the
most favored places their eggs could be
hatched, the race ended. This is prob
ably the true primary cause OF the
extinction of these giant birds.-N I

The Fleet Wild Mustangs.

While the buffalo have disappeared
at rapid rate. the same cannot be said
of the wild horses or mustangs, es-
pecially in Northwestern Texas, where
they are found in bands numbering
from thirty to three hundred. 1t is
said that among these horses are to be
found the fleetest in America, especially
a noted PAGER which would put Occident,
Jay-Eye-See and other noted steppers
to blush. as no racer has yet been found
capable of turning him. Experiments
at their capture clearly demsnstrate
that they not only possess the greatest
speed but extraordinary bottom or
staying Qualities, for upon many occa-
sions parties have stationed themselves
at reasonable distances along the plains
and given chase with relays, having in
view the capture of some of the more
fleet of those noble animals; but such
chase hss generally terminated in fail
ure. The wild horses ci Northwestern

Too Clever.

The boy who is generally spoken OF
as being very "smart" is an object OF
commiseration. And this in spite of the
extravasant laudation always his t.
command, the envy and despair with
which he is viewed by the indolent and
obtuse, and the general pctting he re-
ceives at his home and, perhaps ut his
school. That he is clever does not
admit of doubt. Every one owns 1t,
and none more complacently than
..voung hopeful himself; but it does
not follow that it will be good for him.
