HJCUUANDED VILLANY.

We arc requested to caution the public against
o,e SAMUEL BARRETT, who has been detected in
The commission of the blscst villanios quite ro-
Gently. He is described az being about 25 years
old, S feet, inches high, quite thick SGT, with
thick black hair. black eyes. and black bushy
whiskcrs meeting nearly at the chin, of dark
complexion, and his flca peck -broken. He came
TO Michigan from Troy last August, as journey
man carpenter by trade, and most of the time
his been in the employ of Mr.. Benjamin Porter,
of this city. H. had on blue drcss-coat with
velvet collar, dark brown panteIoons, and
black hat with short fur We proceed TO give an
account of som, of his villanies.
A short time since no was at work IN tho Michi-
can State Bank of this city. A few nights
since, II was discovered that some 2OO sheets OF
Saginaw City Bank bills, which had bean left in
the bank, but not filed out or signed, were mis-
sing, amounting to about $1,000; about $500
of Saginaw County Bank, and an amount Of
hills purporting to be of the Farmers Il Mer-
chants Bank of Centreville. The Saginaw
County bills were subsequently found III Barretts
trunk Of Mr.. Porter's, The rest have not been
found.
1t would seem that the scoundrel has made free
us, of his spos, as the bills, filled out and signed,
have circulated extensively in the country. From
blank book and other papers found in his coat
at Ypsilant il is evident that he signed the bills
there and rot them changed into good money al
various places between there and Marshall. A
| slim of paper, which he used as sort Of mono
randum, contains the following items Of bills for
which no undoubtedly exchanged. Sandstone
| S455; Macohb, 3l46 Detroit City, S46i
Brest and Monroe, Ssll4: Chartered, $l2O
Upper Canada, 81; Eastern, $l26; Marshal
| draft on State Bank, SS264 Saline, 500. Thcs
arc added up, and make, with two other items, al
amount of S1,70f. On another part of the pa
per il the following" left at Marshall, 3S2 "
at Grand River, 306 00,v which are added &
the other, making 1892. His blank book ais
furnishes other evidence of his villainy. w
mention these items particularly, that possibl
they may lead to his detection. The Saginaw
CITY bills are badly executed. Tho name Of Mel

TOWNSHIP ELECTIONS.

The Ann Arbor Argus has well timed
article, sounding the note of preparation
for the April elections. The Democratic
party, says the Argus, should remember,
that in one week from Monday next, the
people of this state will again be called up
on to elect their township officers for the
ensuing year. Our opponents have kindly
10 formed us that they considerthe approach
ing township elections as all-important to
them as party. If they are important
to the opposition, are they not equally SO to
tue Democratic party? If the opposition
consider the prize worthy Of an exhortaton
to their party to put forth all their energies
to obtain it, is it not imperative upon the
Democracy to arouse and awake TO the
contest? Let the Democratic party then
place in nomination, their strongest men
and unite in a firm phalanx to support them
The township elections, on the first Monday
in April. according to the declarations OF the
opposition, will have an important bearing
upon the subsequent election. Every free
man. therefore, is loudly called upon to DO hi
duty. Let the democrats be firm and united

4 Important Increment in Kentucky.-We
have before stated, that the legislature Of
Kentucky has passed bill TO take the sense
of the people on the propriety Of calling
convention. We were not aware, at the
time, that the sole design of the friends Of
the convention was the abolition Of slavery
in the state Of Kentucky. Such, however,
we learn from an article in the Lexington
Observer. is the fact. The question Of con.
tinuance or abolition of slavery is to be de-.
termined by the call of "a convention. Well
may the Observer remark that such being
the issue involved, il assumes a conse.
ouence and Importance surprising that of
any subject ever agiiated in Kentucky.--'
But the interest in The event VIII not DC con-
fined to the citizens of that state. Every
portion of the coniederacy, and the slave,
holding region especially, will look with IN
tense interest to the decision Of the ques-
tion.-Richn,ond Wing. 7 = =.

And furthermore, be il Resolved. That in
asmuch as the sincerity OF the American
government touching the preservation of
the relations peace aud amity with Great
Britain and Ireland and their provinces,
have been seriously questioned by the pub
lie authorities of Upper Canada-lnis meet
ing for themselves do most solemnly protest
against such official inference as extreme
" unjust and unlounded in fact; and APP
neal TO the successful efforts which have
been made on this frontier to enforce the
provisions of the act Of the Goth of April,
1918.
Two expeditions, designed for the inva-
sion of Canada, have been arrested, disarm-
ed and dispersed; the arms and munitions
of warfare secretly prepared and provided
to aid these movements, seized by the Off
GERS of the United States and through
the vigalgnce and energy of the Detroit
Brady Guards, and also Of the officers and
United States troops, under the command
of Major John Garland, acting IN this
district, the hostile occupation of Fighting
Island in the British domnions, was CON-
pelled to be abandoned, and most of the lead
crs and officers engaged therein, either ar
rested or forced to fly the district of Mich
igan.
Mai. Thos. Rowland addressed the meet
ing, and submitted the following resolution
which was adopted. :,
Resolved that as American citizens, justly
proud of our government, we repel with IN
diruation and scorp, any implication up
on its honor and good faith, and as in
dyiduals we will use our best exertlons tt
discountenance and prevent any inirac
ton of our amicable relations with Grea
Britain.
On motion of Shubael Conant, Esq,
Resolved, That the thanks of this meet
20 are hereby rendered to the commtte to
the faithfulness with which they have dis
charged their duty.
On motion of Judge Wilkins,
Resolved, That the proceedings of TIN
meeting be published in the Washington
Globe and National Intelligencer,in the Dis

Three men arrested for Forgery.-Moses
w. Quigey, John w. Whitwell, and John
r. Jewett, of the state of Michigan, were
arrested in this city, few days since, on
charge of forgery and having in their pos.
session bills upon the bank of Ann Arbor,
with intent to pass them. About $1,000
were found in their possession, all upon this
bank. The bills were well executed and
calculated TO deceive. They were taken
before Justice Brown and Perry, and, after
an investigation of three days, were com
mitted for trial. Two were afterwards od.
mitled to bail. 1t is supposed that they
are part ola gang traversing the west IN
different directions on like business. -Four
$50 counterfeit bills upon the Merchants
bank of New York were in the possession

Support your Mechanics There is scarce
ly any thing, says the Knickerbocker, which.
tends more to the improvement of town,
than fair and liberal support offered to
mechanics of every description. Popula-
ton is necessary to the prosperity OF any
country--and the population being OF IN
honest and industrious character, renders
prosperity more certain, uniform, and UNI
varying. Scarcely any place has risen to
much Importance, even if possessed OF the.
best commercial advantages, without due
regard to the encouragement of the me.
chanical arts. For though the Importation
of merchandise forms the leading features
of such place, the various arts ofmechan-
les are put invariably into requisition,' and
are indispensable to render the progress Of
commercial operations safe. To an inland
town, mechanics are equally important as
elsewhere. They constitute a large and
highly respectable portion ofsociety in coun-
ties, but in towns and villages they are al
most a leading constituent part OF their
growth and population.

GROWTH OF THE WEST, oR--Things as a
hey were and nov are.-Population of Michi-
gan in the year 1880, was 27,376; accord
ing to recent State Census it is l72,OO
Population Of the new States and Terri.
tories, created out of the public domain,
was, in 1900, &c, 0OO--in 1880, 100000,
and at the present time it is set down in
Mr.. Van Buren's last message, at over three
millions and half!
In 1918 there were but three vessels on
Lake Erie. At this time, the amount OF
tonnage employed on this Lake is estima.
ted at one quarter of that Of the port OF
Philadelphia.
The first steamboat on Lake Erie was in
1918. From that time to 1924 but one was
built. In 1882 ten were built. The pre-
sent number is about so. z
In 1911 the first steamboat was built on
the Ohio and Mississippi rivers--at present
the number is 6s3--besides 6000 flat and
keel boats, employing $4,000 men.
