A Mock Convention at Amherst.

Arrangements are now being made at Amherst for a mock national convention to be held February 20th. Three hundred or more men are to be present as delegates from the different States, and the affair will be carried on as much like the national conventions as possible. College Hall will be decorated in a fitting manner, and the occasion will doubtless be one of great enthusiasm. The doorkeepers, pages, telegraph operators and presiding officers are to be chosen from the college at large. The names of four candidates-Blaine, Sherman, Hawley and Lincoln-will be brought before the convention.
