Polling Day June 26. The President then called Mr.Saider to the platform and tendered him the nomination on behalf of the counvenâ€" tion. Mr, Snider, amid tumuliuous cheers advanced to the front of the platform. He said that he appreciated the honor tendered to him, coming as it did unâ€" sought and unasked for. He had alâ€" ways tried to do his duty to the public. He said he was sorry?in one way that. the Convention had gone as it had,and he wished he was in a position to acâ€" cept the nomination tendered him for the Local House. He was especially sorry that at the present time he would have to decline the nomination for the local but left the impression that at _some other time he might be at their l service. â€" He thought that there was no danger in so far as the party was conâ€" cerned, but that they must unite on a strong man. He heard that it had been circulated among the farmer friends that he was a member of the Miller‘s Combine. He consradicted this and said he had not been a memâ€" ber of that association for 12 yearsâ€" (loud cheers.) .

Creek. He is quite indignant over it, apparently because they have an interest in a stream elseâ€" where, and he attempts first to be very funniy over the long drive they had, their "prodigious" fishing rods and basâ€" kets, etc, the contents of the latter, ate., l)ui later he becomes quite severe in condemning them for the "sin" of taking fish that did not belong‘ to them. â€" e states that the owners of the stream are very generous to "deâ€" serving" persons, but thinks the "four gentlemen from Waterloo" very "cheeky" (and undeserving, of course), because they have a stream of their own, and yet go to Washington for a few trout. He makes it appear that they were trespassing, and that they were the only persons fishing in Spring Creek on the day mentioned. Fishing on Spring Creek To the Editor of the Chronicle: For his intormation I beg to state that no less than twelve other disciples of old Tzaak were met with on the stream to the regret of the Waterloo party, for some of these had fished the enttire length of the stream at daybreak, leaving very little sport for laterarrivâ€" als. A few ; of these were harmless enough with {their beanpoles and chalkâ€" lines, but a number of others, not quite so raw as these, drove as far as the Waterloo party did for their sport, alâ€" though they had streams much nearer home. But then they may have been able to qualify as "deserving." The Waterloo party were not knowâ€" ingly trespassing on any of the properâ€" ties on which they fished, because they asked for and obtained the consent of at least some of the farmers interested. If this courtesy was omitted in the case of your correspondent, who presumably owns a portion of the stream, it was an oversight for which an #apology is hereby offered _ Further, it he will come to Waterlo6 and prove that he is one of the offended property owners, the "four gentlemen from Waterloo" will cheerfully accord him the same privilege on their reserve (some 16 miles north of Waterloo), that they unwittingly took from him.

Dipx‘rt Kxow Ir Was Loane»â€" What might easily have been n fatal accident occurred at Mr. Chrs, Roach‘s residence last Thursday evening. His eldest son Charlie, a little lad of eight or nine years, having found his father‘s revolver, at once resolved to show his his little brother and sister that he knew how to handle a gun. The result was that in an increaably short time the weapon had exploded and a bullet had lodged ju his own neck. The plucky little fellow made no: complaint other than to say he was not very well and went to bed, and _ his parents knew nothing of _ the _ accident until the following morning. Dr. Nicâ€" hols of Baden was then called in but as yet has been unable to locate the ball, nevertheless the lad is but slightly indisposed and does not suffer muach as the result of his reclklessness.
