But forsome reas in, probably best known to themselves, tliey never sing the chorus : " Meet me now at Heaveu'H gate, Bwaet Bill Mahone.1' They all sond hini to the other place. The way the party is injured by not running a township ticket, is shown by the vote in Dexter township, whure the rápublicans ooly polled L'l votes for judge. There being no local interest to bring out the republicans of course the state and judicial ticket suffered. That weather prophet of evil, Vennor has to!d an atmospheric untruth- that is he has vaporized,- or sometliing of the kind. At least he stated that Mksbigu would haveabigflood April átli. Have not seen anything of it yet. A good rain would be gladly welcomed. A notice of tfiedeath of Ilenry S. Vaill, which occurred at Sacramento, Cal., on March 9tb, has been handed us by Mr. W. (i.

The followiog notice of the Franz Abt concert eoiupany, from the !rass Like News, is the one we intended to publish last week, bul by gome mistak e we cut out the wrong oqe, Mistaket will happen, you knuw, go just Mil.stiditi: (liis, plea.se : ThOM oí mir pcdplf who failed to altend the concert giren by the Fr.nz Abt concert company at Union hall, 'iindny night last, mlad im ninHi.-Hi treht, at tli; pt-rrornunce from beginning to il vvhk of a hii;ti oidar of marlt.

The concert of the Hivè King cotupany at unversity hall, last Friday evening, wan not very well at tended. There were too inariy counter attractións : A republican city convention, and a meeting at the opera house. Xevertheless those wlio did attend were quite well repsid. Mrs. King is certaitily a marvellous manipulator of the ivories. She sits down to a piano, and and without apparently moving, rolls the music out of the instiument in beautiful strains. She is fully equal to Sternberg, if not superior. Their wanner and style f playing are not at all similar. Richter is an excellent violinist. To our un clus i 01 i ai s, bil music sounds as Well as that produeed by Wilhelmj. He is not equal to Ilcnienyi, howevor. Hellini did very well. The remainder of the cotnpany, Mabella, Dulcken and one or two others were injuivd in a smash up somewhere in Ohio, aml could not appear. An exeeedingly pleasant event oeeurred at the residenceof üeorge M. Henion, who lives out about three miles on the Pittsfield road, last Momlay. That day was the óTth anniversary of Mr. Henion's advent uto tlns world, and his wife and family arranged a surprise for him. He was running for the very lucrative position of justice of the peace in his township, and so of course had to attend town meeting. When he rcturned to his home he found it filled with frienda and relatives to the number ti -¦' or 30, and a very fine collation spread upot, the table. His mother, six brothers and M-ters, several of his children were present, and a number of nice presenta were left as souvenirs of the day, and regard for him. Mr. Henion eame to this county in 1835, was married the year following, and bas lived on the farm whcre he now resides for twenty-five years. The pfaurat onding- for he was elected justice in the bargain- of his 57th birthday will be a bright, green spot iu his niomory as long as lic may live. A brief extract from a letter written by Dr. 4. L. Worden, of Dunlap, Iowa, will assuredly be of interest to many of our P ftdtn, u he aml li is wife- formerly Carrie Hutchins- have hosts of friends in this city and vicinity. The doctor writes : "One year ago to-morrow we left Ann Arbor, and l -¦¦ iny Mbnriptioa for the Courier has run out. I wiah to subscribe for it again and havo writ ihe woDey. We look for the paper e very Monday morning, veryeagerly, and would foei as though we had nffered great loss if we could not have it.
