A writer in the Picket has thia to say: "Tho qucatiou I free trade or proteetlon, but the citizens of So. Lyon, in the vicinity of the towu hall, ask for protection from the rowdyism that lias been going on for the past month in the streets. One of the most disgraceful sights ever witnessed in any civilized town was at that place mi last Saturday nlght, and it was kept up until Siinday morninji. Ifpeople have to be kept up all night to hear such cursing and swearlng it had Letter be stopped. We know the naines of the parties and a repetition may brinjj them before the public." The Superior correspondent of the Ypsilanti Commercial writes the followIng bit of advice to Capt. Allen: "At the república convention at Adrián, Capt. Allen, In his speech acceptiiig a renomination, proposed that, whoever hls opponent miglit be, should witli hlmself raake a tliorough canvas of their district, should ride in the same bujrgy, eatat the same tnble, and slep in the same bed, and continue to do so until one or the other was kicked out. We are incllned to the opinión that the proposition, the latter part in particular, may possibly be a Hule careles. Truc, the Captain is a robust, compactly built fellow, and capable of dealing hard blows, whlle hia opponent, Mr. Gorman, is very much the reverse in physical stature, still he is said lo be a wiley fellow, quick to take advantaf', and a tremendous kicker; and should he by ioinc dexterous movement, plant his feet against tbe Captain' broad shoulders, he would be likely to roll hlm out of bed. In view of the possibility, we would sufrgest that the Captain, before letirlng, crowd the bed as closely to the wall as possible, and while his opponent is taking his turn at the bottle, elide quietly in bed and hug the opposite side for all he Is worth; the posición would, we think, be greatly In his favor. On the stump, the Captain is all right, but in bed with a democrat, and one so desperate as his opponent, he wlll do well to keep his eye peeled, or it may go hard with him. The Captain U all right in Superior, just the samo." PITT8FIELD. Jolm Hauser is at Concord. The supply of apples s less than the demand.
