Harmony reigns between the Democratie and Republican parties in the Ann Arbor common council. Tbe sight of a Democratie mayor appointing a pólice committee entirely of Republicans, is sufficient to bring tears to the eyesof anv enthusiastic lover of Peace. And a Republican council re-electing a Democrat for city marshal is a still more affecting spectacle. A "drummer," stopping in Ann Arbor over Sanday, wrote to The Register very vigorously expressing his indignation at a faot which came to bis attention. On 8unday, at 10 a. m., he saw a sick horse lying in the ditch on N. University-ave., which, he was informed, had been there since 6 p. m. oí the previous day without care of ny kind.

Clara Louisa Kellogg has been known to alight hor work when she stood befoie a small audience, but on Monday evening in Ann Arbor ehe was evidently bent on pleasing and was very gracieus. The rain could be heard distinctly seemingly pleading her to forgive Ann Arbor people for not sending a larger audience. It was a program of great excellence, made unusually long by the frequent recalls. Mise Kellogg responded to the first encoré by singing " Comin' thro' the Rye." William H. Lee, the basso, was the favorite after the prima donna; but the tenor, Cario Spigaroli, and Miss Carrie Morse, could not complain at their reception. F. B. Braun, in speaking to The Rkgester of the $5,000 which the county agricu'.tural society may receive in the proposed trade with Isarael Hall, said that there should be $2,000 more raised by subscription or otberwise to make the society whole. " It will," he said, " oost the 'society at least $2,000 to move the buildings, fences, and to biiild a track. If we have a good year, fair weather and hard work done for nothing, we can clear $1,000 where we are." The sixth Chamber concert last Friday evening, given up to American authors, was one of great merit The Philharmonic club, of Detroit, of course pleased. Miss Andrue, the soprano from Detroit who assisted the club, was well received. Two of her selections were by R. G. Cole, the leader of the University glee club. The next concert will be held May 3 in Universi'y hall, when the club will be assisted by Miss Mary Shafter, of San Francisco, and Miss Ida Belle Winchell and Miss Julia L. Caruthers, of Ann Arbor. The county treasurer may soon have to pay over $4,500 wbich were deposited in bis office in 1879. It belonged to Thomas Harvey, an Englishman who died in Manchester township in 1873. There were no known heirs at the time, but some persons claiming to be heirs of Harvey, and who live in the island of Thanet at the mouth of the Thames, will lay claim to the money and endeavor to prove their right to it. Th8 is reversing the usual order. Americans usually claiming English estates. Just before the common council adjourned, Monday evening, Mayor Beakes talked about five minutes. He spoke particularly of the need of economy. The balance on hand in the treasury is much smaller than in many years at this time. The amount to be realized from the liquor tax will be smaller than formerly. According to the charter, the amount of money that can be raised by tLe regular taxation is limited, and as the expenses for the year ending February, 1888, were $38,000, it can readily be seen that the council must go slowly in expeditures. Another meeeting of the common council will be held probably before May 1, to approve the liquor bond?. As the city is hard up for money, the tendency will be to let the saloon-keepers through on the minimum amount of $3,000 ; but it will be harder for them to get bondemen this time if the council holds strictly to the law. There must be two men to each bond who live in Ann Arbor, who own $3,000 worth of real estáte in the county, who are not themselvee keepers, who are not on other saloon-keepers' bonds, and who are not public officers. Barbara Fassett, widow of the late Rev. A. Fassett, of Jackson, died April 5 at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. John Freeman, after euffering 11 years from paralysis. She was 81 years old.

Knight, will appear at the opera house tonight in "Over the Garden Wall." Mr. Knight and bis wife are well known. The musical comedy which they will present here is said to be much funnier than "A Bunch of Keys" or "Skipped by the Light of the Moon." The music is very fine, and the whole comedy has been changed and much improved. Mr. Knight is J. Julius Snitz, the politician and husband, and Mrs. Knight is Nellie Wrangle. For the benefit of those who have not seen the play, it may be well to say here briefly that the trouble of the play is ail caused by Snitz, jr. and Rosa, who are secretly married, trying to keep "that baby" out of the way of the uncle of the former, the result being that Mrs. Betsy Snitz, wife of J. Julius Snitz, discovers the childand suspects her husband. Henee the moat ludicrous complications ever seen or imagined by mortal, though of course all Í8 explained in the last act.
