The Marengo Republican of the 13th ,ys: "Wenotlca by the proceeding of Vox Populi," and also of the **Oree iiback*' Convention, that Col. Wm, Avery was nominated at each Conven­ tion, for County Clerk. This Is, of course, a very flattering recognition of Ool. Avery's fitness for the ofilce, and fifem a quarter where he had no right* to expect it. Col. Avery made « vig­ orous canvass for the nomination sub­ ject to the action of the Republican County Convention, and was defeated in that Convention. We are author- lied by Cot. Avery to say, that he is not tpandidate for the office of County Clerk, and cannot accept the nomi­ nation for that office from any party, at the same time recognizing the friendly motives which doubtless prompted said nominations. He also Wishes to thank his many friends in various parts of the County for their valuable assistance while mak­ ing the canvass, and their generous rapport in the Republican County Con- Tpniion." "This Is as it should be. Some fears have been manifested among Repub­ licans that Col. Avery would quietly pfermit his name to be used on the opposition ticket, but we did "not be­ lieve it,. He showed himself $i» be a strong man in the Republican Conven­ tion, but as he was squarely beaten there it would be political suicide to mllow his name to be used against the nominee of that Convention. Any candidate who asks for the suffrages of the people and is/afrty beaten for the nomination before a Convention in which he has taken part, should quietly submit to the will of the majority.-- But the moment he allo,ws himself to he used as a tool by the opposition, ho becomes one of that army of "Sore hfcads," whom the^people, irrespective of party, will always politically de­ ltas. J®"*The death of the Mcrmon die 4§tor is followed by significant evi. dence of the benefits that may bo an­ ticipated now that the iron rule of the tyrant is broken, and the people are able to assert and maintain their in­ dependent rights. Real estate in Salt Xiake City has already risen ten per «ent, in value, and the Chief Justice of the Territory has placed in the hands of the United States Marshal an order to arrest John W. Young, the son of Brigham, whom he wished to be his successor, who has eloped with a young girl of sixteen, intending to marry her, although he already has three wives.-- What makes thisstill^more significant is the fact that the order was issued on the deirfand of her father, himself a Mormon. While Brigham lived no Mormon parents dared to testify against a polygamist. J&'Spotted tail and some of his chief men have been to Washington and exhibited themselves and made their modest demands of Uncle Sam.-- Mr. Tail wanted almost everything from a pipe-full of tobacco to "a big school house.1' What good was accom­ plished for him that collide not have keen just as well brought about by the •gent at his home, does not appear, but the dear people have J to pay the expenses of the elrcus. The idea of treating with the Indians as a for­ eign enemy at one time and on another occasion proceeding on the theory of their being wards of the nation, is a decidely queer policy for a great gov­ ernment to pursue. When will some intelligent, humane, but imperative system be adopted in dealing with them? I^It i6 announced from the Patent- Office that that institution is once more in complete running order, and ready to resume the routine of business in­ terrupted by the fire. The Commiss­ ioner will ask that patentees restore at their|own expense such models as were destroyed; not maintaining that the Government is not under obligations to make good the damage to the pro­ perty in its custody, but believing that it is to the advantage of the patentees to take upon themselves the restoration of the models, especially as they will thereby have the privilege of remedy­ ing defects and illustrating improve­ ments discovered since the originals were constructed. "GOD FOKBIU." Much that the President says to his Southern auditors will meet the hearty approval of patriots everywhere. But there will be some who yet trace aline between treason and loyalty--between fighting'to destroy a government and fighting to sustain it. There are thoso who believe that it was to tho "special credit" of the loyal arms--of the pat­ riotic soldiers of whom the President was a valiant leader--that "the war turned out as it did." We hope and believe it is true that "we are em bark­ ed upon the same voyage, upon the same ship, and under the same old flag." But tho voyage, the ship, the dear old flag have been in mortal peril, and if we neglect the lesson of history, may be again. "Shall we quit fighting?" ex­ claims the President. Yes, indeed: but God forbid tfiat we should forget why we fough t.--Providence (if. /.) Journal, Dealei$ ,|ii1 farm.. Machinery ofi all kinase • » fti!" * rt-1% ' it*' # '< ' ' »• ^ it.': . " : :"' A M8COVKRY uF A HIDDEN TKKAStJRfc. Noah McFarland, who lives about three miles north of Savanna, and owns a farm bordering1* on what is known as Savanna Bay, has lately made quite a discovery. He was plowing a piece of ground which he had recently grubbed out and which had never been plowed before, when at a depth of about six inches from the surface, his plow struck a rock under which lay half a dozen dining forks and a butter kni fe; the articles are in an excellent state of preservation and apperently are of solid silver. These forks are marked with the name of the person who was no doubt their original owners aur1 from whom they were doubtless stolen many years ago. Mr. McFarland refuses to give the name, but says it is none with whom he is familiar, and has not the remotest idea of whom the rightful owner is; but proof of property will secure to the owuer his goods.--Scfr vanna Times. HOG CHOLRKA. The symptoms of the "hog cholera,'* so-called, which is prevailing in parts of the West, are thus described: "A wheezing cough, which is usually ac­ companied by panting. At other times the animal is possessed with a mania for running, and will run even in a pen where it has to cut a very smallcircle. The coughing might be caused by worms crawling into the throat, and the running be occasioned by the agony caused by the gnawing of the mucous membrane of the stomach since dissection has in some cases rej vealed worms in tho throat and en­ trails. Soda, alum and copperas in equal parts, form a compou-.id which is recommended as a remedy. 0&*The New York Sun presents rather a depressing picture of the state of social life matrimonially in New York city. Marriages of convenience are the rule. Young men in moderate condition of fortune have made no con­ cealment of the fact that they must marry for money. The introduction in New York Of certain French habits and customs is gradually breaking up the happiness of domestic life. More than that, a certain portion of those who are supposed to lead the fashionable world delight in aping English cus­ toms, habits, manners, and modes of expression. It is from the fast English set whose own, whose guiding star is Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, that this fashionable coterie delight to draw their inspiration. The old-tashioned (iiotions of virtue, excellence, and worth--we except worth--do not flour­ ish in modern Gotham. |&*It has been decided by the ex­ ecutive committee of the Northwest­ ern Dairymen's Association, to hold a Diary Fair, at Chicago commencing December 18th, and closing on Thurs­ day the 20th. Premiums to the amount of $2,000 will be offered, and the dis­ play will be very large.

Gordon Bennett, the founder of the New York Herald, were not college graduates. Neither Yale nor Harvard has ever produced a great newspaper editor, and probably never will.
