Geo.

The report was accepted.Mr. Wm. Bode stated that he had writteD, on Tuesday, to Representative Dirr, at Columhus, requesting him to forward a copy of the bill authorizing Incorporated village* to annex additionalterritory without the consent of the peopleresiding therein, hut that he had receivedno reply to his letter,'and now, as there was no prospect ot having iwintlow Grove and St. Bernard Incorporated as one village, he was in favor of allowing Clifton and Avondale to gobble them up without any show of resistance.Mr. Audrew Attermeyer then made amotion that the meeting adjourn, which was sustained, the opposition to incorporation being largely in the majority and determined to squelch any further discussion throwing any light npou the advantages of self-inoorporatlon, and evidently being desirous of allowing Clifton and Avondale to annex their territory under the new law without opposition.The public verdict will be “served ’em right,” if theyare gobbled up by existing corporations.There will be another meeting, this evening, of the citizens, at the Engine-house, to discuss the* question of being incorporated, but it is not likely that the Chatrfnan of the Saturday night meeting will be present to be •*bnil dozed.” Mr. Slacke, the Secretary, will doubtless see the thing through.There are four candidates for the nomination of Township ( lerk before the Democratic Convention of Mill* creek Township, which meets next Saturday at Eckert's Hull: Mr. Robert Kemper, Hoary Brockmann, Charles Townsend and J.
