Registor of deeds, Manly, in preparing his abstract books, lately carne across a deed, a portion of which reads as follow3: "And the grantor relinquishes his right of dower in bis father's estáte." The tramp was so obtuse that he could n't see the point. Republicans laugh in their sleeve, for they know that a man of the tramp printer's cañber, wlio has been billed for a number of speeches in this county, can only work injury to the democracy. Richinond should muzzle the coticeited ignoramus. Ypsilantian : The republican committee in tbe first representative district of this county is as follows: Augusta, H. P. Thompson ; Pittsfiold, W. K. Childs; Saline, Harvey Bennett; York, J. W. Blakeslee; Ypsilanti town, W. H. Lay; Ypsilanti city, C. R. Pattison. TUe following are the appointments made by the Detroi' conference of theM.

For some nights past a singular noiso bas been heard in tbc tbird story of the building occupied by F. Scbairer, on Main street. An investigation followed, wben it was discovered that tbe tramp printer was even tben practicing bis piece and gutting ready to make lüs appearance at a number of democratie meetings, in tbis COTinty. If tbe cbairmari of tbe county committee is hard pushed for speakers, we would advise bim to make no appointments, for tbe cause will not be enbanced by sending tbe t'amp out. Tbis is not only our opinión, but a number of democrats think if he is sent out it wlll cost the party many votes. Four years ago next montb a democratie raass meeting was advertised to be held in the opera house. A number of smart "alees," students in the university, by a preconcerted arrangement proposed to run thiugs to suit tbemselves. The crowd commenced to assemble,and the students, several bundred strong, marched to tbe opera house and took their seats. In the mean time tbe democrats, wbo had been warned and armed with clubs, also took seats near tbe students. It is ncodless to say that it was tbe most orderly meeting ever held in this city. The students wero completely cowed. Had tbey attemptcd any demonstration, it is safe to say that some of tbe students would have looked as if tlicy had been ruü tbrougb a threshing machine. Enterprise : The trial of the Van Valkonburg's and Charles Pardee, charged with a&sault and battery upon Oeorge Lockerby, was concluded in Justicc year's court onFriday evening.

The trouble grevv out of a debt of about $90, wliich Lockerby claiuicd Van Valkenburg owod bim. and hehad placed an attacliment upon soine wheat, and bid it in at sheriff s sale for the amount, but wheu ue went for his wheat it seems the Van Valkenburg's objected to his taking t, with the above results. The case is now adjourned till October 1. The Sentinel says of tiie republican noniinee for sheriff. Mr. Yeckloy builds his few hopes largely - much too largely we think, on his personal popularity among demócrata at homo. However much cause he may have given his democratie f riends to like his company, and enjoy his joviality, he has never laid tliem under the least obligation to support hiin Tor office. He would hold his ticket in his flngers until it burned to a coal, beforc he would slip or scratch it for a detnocrat, and certainly his democratie f rieuds ought not to go farther to oblige him than he would them. He would just smile at the idea of voting for a democrat, and he ought lo be treated in his own style. A special meeting of the council was hold last Thursday nveuing. Aid. Kellogg, chairman of the bridge committee, reported that bridge No. 1 was dangerous and recommended that action be taken at once to either repair or build a new one. Aid. Martin was of the opinión that it would cost $S00 to put it in shape. The Mayor was of the opinión that to make the repairs would be poor policy, if they wore to cost oyer $200. Aid. Kitredge said the cheapest way to fix it was to tear it down and build a newoue. Aid. Hutzel favored an iron structure. On rnotion of Aid. JVIcOmber the street committee were instructed to employ sorae competent bridge builder to make the necessary repairs, at an expense not cxceeding $200.
