marched, twenty-Six to chain, TO Leverett
street JAIL In the cavaicade all classes of the
city we're represented. The prisoners all
pied guilty to the charge preferred against them
vix that they were present at game OF chance
and we're fined 400 each with costs which
was paid by all save twelve, who were re

There were several at the Court House

there was no crowd.
The negro resisted at the door, but was
soon overcome.
Later In the night. Fletcher Webster,
Esq. found Waterman ringing the bell
Of Kings chapel. and supposing an
alarm of fire had been raised by the abo-
lltlonlsts in order TO oollect mob, he
ordered the watchman to desst Mr.

away from the rope. and afterwards as
saulted him. The wa.chman called for
assistance, and Mr.. Webster was taken
to the watch house. and thence to the
Jail. This morning the Court House is
completely surrounded by Marshal Tu-
key and his police force, who have drawn
a chain completely about it. There is d
large crowd about the place, few OF

CONTESTED SEAT IN THE SENATE.-For the
first time there is to be contest about seat
in the Senate OF the United States. Some
time since it was announced that Mr.. Mallory
was elected to succeed Mr. Yulee, of Florida,
whose term expired with the last session OF
Congress. Mr.. Yulee claims'that he was elect
ed because he received % votes TO 81 blanks
flung against him. This claim will bring up for
settlement the question whether, under a ma
Jority, blank votes are to b. be counted. If the
Senate decide in Mr.. Mallory's favor, as the
Florida Legislature have done, the, decision
will unseat Gen. Jamas of Rhode Island, and af-
feet that of some others, if he should be elect
ed. 1t will be an exciting subject and one that
demands a settlement, that the actions of L eg-
islatureS may be uniform.

New THREE CENT CoiN.-The Phila
deli hia Ledger says:
The die for the three cent piece, or.
dered TO be coined by the last Congress,
has been finished. and the coinage would
be proceeded with at once a the mint
but for a defect in the law. which makes
no provision for procuring the silver and
copper 10 commence with. In conse-
quence the coinage will be delayed until
the proper steps are taken by the author
tiles at Washington TO remedy the def
cheney. The new coin is decidedly neat
and tasty, and will be in measure a
convenient substitute for coppers. 1t is
one fourth copper and three-fourths sill
yer, so that the baser metal affects the
color but slightly. In size it is between
the gold dollar and five cent piece, but
it Is 80 much thinner than either that a
blind man san easily distinguish them by
the touch. The face of the coin has ?
capital G, with three in numerals, indi-
eating its value. Around the edge are
thirteen stars for the original States.
On the reverse is a star; having in its
centre an American shild, and around the
edge United States Of America, 1851"

Mr.. Editor: knowing that many readers o
the Plymouth Pilot, are. not advised OF the en-
terprise now in Plymouth, or the business hab
its of our people, you will pardon me fo
troubling you with this article
Plymouth was laid out in 1884, by JouN SER
ING and WILLIAM Polk. 1t is situated upor
the north bank of Yellow river, in Marshal
County, on beautifully elevated piece Of
ground, inclining slightly to the south. In
1886, the County seal was located here, by S.
c. SAMPLE, PETER JOHNSON, and GRIFFIN Tread
WAY. The Streets are sixty fee. wide, except
Michigan, which is one hundred, and inter
sect at right angles; each block mot fractionall
has six lois, l26 by So feet.
The Legislature of our State, last winter
ION petitionJ passed law, incorporating our
village-apppointed Trustees &c.
The Trustees have organized under the law,
and from present appearances, Our Streets and
Side Walks, will be materially improved, be-
fore the season closes.
Our people seem to be "wide awake;" bus
mess is very brisk; the prospects Tor improve
ments in our Town, are better than ever before.
There are two Churche and two Steam MILLS,
being built here this season. We have a
Printing Press here, which we purpose sus-
tanning. A Telegraphic Of!ice, ty which we
can get the latest news, for a few dimes.
Every Country Town, should have Printing
Press, and Telegraphic Gflie. We have FIVE
Dry Goods Stores. two Drug Stores, one Gro
Gerry Store, one Wagon * Carriage Shop, four
Black Smiths Shops, two Silver Smiths Shop
two Tanneres, one Slaughter House, two
Saddlery Shops, two TavernS, one Gun Smith,
one Tin Shop, one Single Machine, two Cab
met Shops, two Shoe Shops, one Chair Maker,
one Painter, one Saleratus establishment also
a splendid Brick Jail, nearly completed. 1t
does appear to lie Mr.. Editor, the height of fol-
ly for our Commissioner to build SO costly a
Jail, when there is no probability it will be
needed, unless some person fleeing from JUS
tice should be caught when passing through our
province.

o. A pleasing | art OF the Celebration
Of cur National independence, on the
last anniversary, was the singing by
.'he children at Bellevue Hall. There
was not so much of it as was intended,
owing to mislaying their books. Yet
1t was gratifying, in the highest degree,
% see with what interest and ardor they
entered into the spirit ofthelr songs.
Since that time the question has been
frequently asked why music Is confined
to two Schools only2 There is no rea-
son publicly known why the other
Schools have not equal advantages
1t is, we are fully assured, the wish OF
the public that music should be placed
before all the Schools, and we hope the
School Committee wi crafty the com;
munity on that respect. We notice
that for several years past the Public
Schools in Boston have furnished music
Tor National Celebrations. Why should
not our scholars be as well educated in
HAis science as those elsewhere

the uniform of that branch OF the serv-
ice is soon to undergo material changes,
The ''iashion plates" are in the hands
of the engravers, and will shortly be
produced. The uniform is To be blue

stituted for the present pattern, to be
worn by both officers and privates, the
distinction to consist in the fineness of
the texture, and the colors of the sash
ings and ornamental fixtures. The oha-
peau to be dscaI ded and instead, the
Hungarian cap is adopted. This is an
improvement. No more are bird feath-

The eIocution7ry
entertainment in Bellevue Hall on We'd
nesday evening. notwithstanding the un-
avoldable collision with the Germania
Concert, occurring at the same hour,
was attended by an audience, that gave
such promise as, we trust, will, this ev-
ening and the rest Of the course, be am
ply realized. In his readings from
Shakespeare, Mr.. Russell seemed to us,
on this occasion, TO surpass all his tor.
mer representations Of the great Poet
The mirth Of the melancholy Jacques,
the tran ,itions ofthe madcap Mercutio,
the loyalty Of noble old Adam, were ad-
mirably expressed. Jacques's laugh
"a fool fool |! l met fool in the forest -
rang out well through the green arcadesl
and.so did Mercutio's in the description
Of Queen Mab's team, which was given
with exquisite effect and should be re-
peated; and the recital OF each trick OF
the fairy drew hearty applause from
the audience. Mercutio's droll report OF
his sensations when wounded, was cap
italy done and that "scrdtch" was de-
cded point We trust none Of our
friends will fail in future to witness
this recreation Of Shakespeare crea'
tions. ''
The spiriting away Of the McGregor
from Hogg, was recIted and acted with
best effect, and the humorous piece from
Lover. which concluded this rich enter.
tainment, being Father Phi's appeal to
his Congregation, in the intervals ofthe
mass, in behalf Of the dilapidated
Church, through which the heavens
were dropping down arguments upon
their Indifference, was, as is always the
case with Mr.. Russcll's readings in that
department, done to the very life; We

DrAru OF D. w. C. OLrpHAxr.-we

DEATH OF d. w. c. OLYPHANr.-We
regret TO learn that our much respected
iellow-citizen, David w. c. OIyphant,
Esq, long known as leading member
Of the firm OF Talbot, Olyphant & Co.
died at Cairo, June 10th, on his return
from China to the United States, in the
esd year of his age. His meek and gen
tie bearing, his consistent walk and con-
versation, his liberality and ever wake
ful interest ia the cause OF his Divine
Master, endeared him to the religious
community; while his honor, probity,
intelligence, energy, and other excel
lent qualities, as a merchant, placed
him high in the affections and respect
OF the business classes. Among the
numerous bene violent acts which have
marked his course through life, we will
mention only one, viz, that from the
very commencement OF American mis-.
sionary labors in China, nearly, if not
quite all the missionaries from this coun-
Try, with their families, il families they
had, have been carried out by the ships
Of Mr.. ELEPHANTS house free Of all er-
penses and when any have been sick,
or for other reasons, found it necessary
to return they have been brought back
on the same terms. In this way alone,
many thousands Of dollars have been
given by him and his partner in business
to the cause OF missions. A few years
ago, favorable opportunity occurring,
one Of their ships was sent to Japan in
the hope Of being able to introduce the
Gospel into that populous island. The
ship was not permitted TO have any
communication with the shore, but the
endeavor to accomplish so great good
will have its reward. For n consldera.
bic period, MIR. Olyphant was a member
Of the same church with Joseph Brew
ster, Knowles Taylor, Rev. Erskine
Mason and others, who have gone to
their account Happy men, IN lite or

"We recommend the American
House, Boston, to persons visiting that
city. This is new establishment
which has recently been opened for the
accommodation of the travelling public.
1t is situated in Hanover street, which
is very central location. 1t is splen-
didly fitted up, arranged and furnished
in the latest and most modern style, no
expence having been spare d to make it
a 6rst-class hotel. 1t is kept by Lewis
Rice, who is thoroughly conversant
with his business, and is an exceedingly
popular host. He is assisted by MIR.
Richardson, who is well known TO visi-
tors in this town, having heretofore been
connected with one Of our hotels, during
the summer, and who has no superior in
his business. The other assistants, Mr..
WrisIey and Mr.. Myrick, are both pop
ular with travellers, from the fact that
their whole energies are devoted to the
comfort and convenience of their guests.
Such house as the American, in such
hands, must receive great patronage,
and become one Of the most popular of
the first-class hotels Of the country.
