He started with mjich more strength than any other candidate,, and, therefore, it was natural for the western members to rally around him when it Cfqne to a choice between an eastern uud western man.

Lovers of the delicious bivalve will be disappnimdd to know that the crop of the lower peninsula ha* been mate¬ rially sheeted by the recent dry spoil. While fair oysters are gathered a Cris field and the shipments froru this point are extensive the crop elsewhere is very poor. When tho supply of fresh water from tile streams emptying into the bays in which the oysters grow is Vmali as during the present fall tho bivalves fculfer greatly becoming *o salty iu il'.t Besides vor a* to be in a degree unpal.itaSlo. this they Ho not appear to thrive and are rarely found in a well fattened condition. At the fisheries this serious impediment to growth is partially repaired by the uee ef artificial weans iu the shape of “monitors or fiats. The oysters are taken from the rock in their present unprofitable condition, epread upon these Uau aud taken to fresh water and suuk. Here they re¬ main several days iu these feeding grounds. When raised to the surface they are found to be fat palatablo and ready‘for snipmeut. Another ingenious plan to briug fullness to the most dys¬ peptic looking of the crop ie upon baing shucked ta place them in a barrel with I twonty .fivo pounds of ice. The barrol can be fastened tightly and put upon tho cars. Tho ice iu tho barrol will last for several days and by the tinje the AVe8tern dealer gots his consign¬ ment tho lean aud hungry bivalve will have consumed tho ice and built upon this sustenance a full smooth aad nu¬ tritious mouthful. The present rains are expected to havo a marked effect upon the oyster and materially reduce the prevailing higher prices.— Philadel jjiia record -——--♦ ♦ -------- : - How Daniel Webster Proposed. In old times it was tho fashion for a suitor to go down pn his knees to a lady when he ask her to become his wife which with very stout gentlemen was an uncomfortable proceeding. The way in which Dauiel Webster proposed to V, teber was more modern being at -inoih»r i-vus-vug^ lover noat tie andj>o«tie. was' Like many once ing a »kein of thread or wool which the lady had been unraveling. “Gracia,’ said he, “we have been untieing knots; let us see if we cannot tie one which will not nntie in a life-titdfe.’ With a piece of tape he fastened the half of a true lover's kndt; Miss Fletcher perfect¬ ed it aud a kiss put the eeal to the sym¬ bolical bargain. The Cotton Crop. The New Orleans Democrat of tho 2d inst, publishes special telegrams from all portions of the cotton country giv¬ ing the latest news of condition of tho crop*. The reports from Alabama show a decrease in the crop of twenty per¬ cent. as compared with that of last year. In Arkansas the entire crop is gathered and will range from forty to fitty per cent, below that of last year. Jn Georgia the crop will bo generally one-third short, except around Colum¬ bia where the yield is better than last season. Parishes in Louisiana .show a great difference iu yield Morehouse not raiaiug onesthird of a crop while St. Landry has nearly an average yield. The yield for Mississippi is about sixty tlino per cent.—somewhat less tbau was anticipated. In Tennesseo tho crop will be about forty per cent, of that of last year. The Texas crop will be half an average one. Somo people in a Georgia town struck a square solution of the Mormon problem m putting a stop to the elo¬ quence of the Utah missionaries, by firing upon them at Brooks Mills. No one was hurt but the missionaries mado tracks for tho border. This stopped tho work of the saints in Georgia. Probably the guns were not loaded with anything but powder and and the papor noise but the sight of the gnn will was terrible. They never come back.
