The Choioe of XeSenry County; Ob Saturday last nearly or quite two- thirds of the Primaries were held in this County, to clwtose delegates to at- "tend the County Convention on Satur­ day next, and the result was an almost unanimous endorsement of Hon.

Notwith­ standing tfee fact that the wire-pullers In the interest of Coon hare taken great pains to noise it around that they . had givea up the fight, they were out In f«H force to the Caucuses, and left no *tone an turned to accomplish their ends.

Last Saturday Prof. D. IJ. Hnrlbut •was billed to give an exhibition of horsmanship in our little burg at one <aPclock, P. M. and long ere tho hour arrived people began to pour in from the country and adjoining towns, till our streets were crowded with men, women and chllilreu, and eager to see what many supposed was an iinposi- bility, driving horses without reins.-- At the appointed hour Hurlbut made his appearattce on the street with a well matrhad span of coal Black horses, hitched to a covered carriage and after driving round the square had the Bridle and Reins removed when ro the amusement of all ho drove up and down the street turned corners, circles, half circles, stopping suddenly, backing round Ac, all of which was done of course by the motion of a lony whip he had. After the street exhibition Mr. IJulburt made a short address to a large crowd in front of the hotel on the suject of horse, its training, treat* wents, &c, after which a class of 10 was organized and adjourned to a room in the Hotel for a private lecture.

Oglesby's Bell, Ringer* gave an entertainment In Bailous Hall Monday evening to a fair audience. The Brass Band playing in the streets was splen^ did. considering the number of pieces. The most unique runaway occurred here last Monday. While Mr. Bushnell the mail carrier between here and Crystal Lake was loading freight into his wagon at the Depot his horses be­ came frightened and started, throwing Mr. Bitshnell out and Injuring him con­ siderably. Then they took down the Railroad toward Chicago and ran on to the bridge that crosses the Fox River Road, going nearly half way across be­ fore they fell and then one fell head first through the bridge but his body was too large to let him through'with the other horse ou . top of him. A crowd of men soon gathered and helped them up and strange neither horsecwfts seriously hurt, only flesh wounds and bruises. At present writing it is not known how bad Mr. Bifchnell is hurt and may prove more serious than at present seemed.

This correspondent does not wish to be boied by what the above speaks and advises if tijf coat fits to put it on and wear it and be silent, for there might be more said than till?. §6F*The Springfield correspondent of the Chicago Telegraph, has the following in relation to Hon.. F. K, Granger, member from this county: Mr. Granger, who is now on his tourth term, keeps a better run of the business of the House, and knows better how to avail himself of the rules than any other member. He is well posted on every question of legislation. As a speaker, he is easy and clear in his statements, always commanding the attention of his unruly audience. The attempt to connect his name with the alleged corruption was a miserable Granger is all right. 7^ As illustrating what small things the Democrats catch at in dis- euMing present issues, the following paragraph from a Democratic paper |s q«otien; (,Atid now it has been dis- covered by the Boston Herald that the ; •-; fainotw Wllmot proviso, the first antf- • slavery enactment by Consrress thirty- S;t, five years ago, was passed by inserting ft In an army appopriation bill." The lfcets are that In 1846 Wilmot. a Dem- aer**, submitted his proviso as an ^ Mswxlmeat to the bill appropriating otAitey for the purchase of Mexican terfltory, astd that It failed to. pass. In other w*r% the WHmot proviso did not become * law, and «aanot be a precedent, >-K-* mfc.i SPRING CROVE. HDITOK PLAINDKALKR:--W. Shotliff has been nursing a fellon fer the last two weeks.
