STEALING MICHIGAN SHERFF.-
The little schooner Active, owned in
this place, came into port OF Thursday
evening lasI, having on hoard the ,Sher-
i'll oiGranj Traverse, Michigan, togetl
er with TWO OF his posse. 1t seems that
this litle vessel was yine of the port
ol Grand Traverse, trading with Indians
and others, OF that place, when she was
boarded by the Sheriff and four assist
ants, armed with "A warrant against
Capt. B, for some real or iancied
offence against "the peace OF the people
OF the State Of Michigan and their Dig
nifty" On being made acquainted with
the officers business, the Captain sng-
gested TO hlm, the propriety Of sending
his boat with two Of his assistants
ashore, and himself and the others re-
naming on the Active, saying he would
weigh anchor and run into port" The
Sheriff complied with the request; and
the Captain weighed anchor, hosrcd all
sail and made for the Port of Green
Bay! AS soon US the officer discover
ed where he was bound, he jumped up
on the binnacle and commanded the
Captain ''ln the name OF the people Of
Michigan, to stop that ere schooner '"
All hands were deaf TO his commands,
and Captain b. informed him that he
had "urgent business at Green Bay,
which required his immediate af,en.
tion," and that he would take him and
his assistants up and chow them the
country, and he hadn'ta doubt bu, they
would be pleased with il. There was
no resisting the Captains polite invita-
tion to visit our town, so the Sheriff
"come down" and made himself ''al
home during the passage, and arrived
here as stated above, enjoying the Tree
dom of the town Tor Il few days, and
from all appearances seemed TO admire
its location and business prospect, as
well as Capt. B--'s hospitality

CURE FOR ROSE BUas.-A subscriber
wishes to know if any one can suggest
method Of preventing the yearly incur
sions Of the rose bug, and having heard
considerable complaint among our
neighbors OF having their cucumbers,
grapes and other fruit destroyed by
these insects, will suggest remedy.
Plant IN the centre o. your garden q
few damask rose-bushes, ana they will
never light on anything else. We have
a large garden with almost every kind
OF fruit, vines, shrubbery, and flowers
with several kinds OF roses, and IN the
centre we have four punches OF damask
rose-bushes, and | never siw in the
whole garden rose bug on anything
but the dnmask rose. When they are
in blossom go into the garden once
a day with pan of hot water, and
shake the bugs from these roses into the
water, and get about a pint at one time;
this practice for few days, and then
they will disappear.-Boston Cuitira.

REFoRM III RHODE IsLAND.-- The
temperance people in Rhode leland ars
demanding that the Constitution shall be
so amended, that the Maine Liquor Law
shall not be open to constitutional object
tions-that is. in the new draft, they
mean TO enact their own peculiar views
OF moral reform, if possible. We de-
honestly believe that this idea Of filing
up State Constitutions with mere enact
ments is the worst political error at
present prevaiIing-and that is saying
a good deal. The secondhand gentle
men who have undertaken to patch up
and paint the ancient bulwarks Of the
State, hardly seem TO have brains
enough 10 understand the difference
between principle and measures. A
Constitution OF measures is an absurdiiy.
A Constitution OF enactments will al
ways be weak, feeble, dyspepuc, and
" not expected to live" II may not
have the vitality Of n single year in 4.
1t Is not the charter of liberty, but oi
license Il is not tn CONSERVATION Of the
government, bat the promoter Of
anarchy. To be wha, il should be, it
ought no; to reflect this man's opinion
OF liquor, or that mans opinion OF law
but rather the aggre gate opinion OF
the whole Commonwealth. Submitted
to perpetual amendment, 1t becomes no
Constitution at ali. Every thing is then
left TO the whim and caprice of voters,
and the .hjghest principles Of to-day
will become rank treason tomorrow.
Rather thj II submit TO such rickety
Constitution the Rhode Islanders had
much better stuck by KING Charles
Chur,er.-Nep Bedford Mercury.

inviting all who desired a supply, to call
down TO the packet with their pitchers
and jugs. 1t then took the denizens Of
