Don't Forget

Republicans must not forget to reg is,er their
.names. The Board Of the respective Wards are
nos in session for that purpose for the firs'
Ward. at the Seymour House, Second Ward, al
the Eagle Hotel. Third Ward. at the Lansing
House.
From all inspection OF the names already re-
gi.tered, i, appears that our opponents are more
prompt than Republicans, in performing this
political duty. This should not be so-every
citizen should register at once as delays are dan
rerous, aud the subject once out of mind, it may
not recur until it is too late.
The Locofoco Press in the first impulse OF Its
rage at the passage Of the law, advised partizans
To nav no attention to the law. They have
re,rac,ed this advice and now urge upon their
friends, the necessity Of prompt and early
Registry.
However wrong and wicked the first advice
was, i, i. certain that they on the right track
now, and il is equally certain that the party are
following the wholesome counsel.
A little cool examination has satisfied the Lo-
cofocos, that the measure OF Registry IL a
sound and benehcent safeguard after after all.
The Board will continue in session, al Tie pa-
ces above named, through tomorrow (wednes-
day) for registering names.

$4,000 VERDICT AGAINST DETROIT. - The
Detroit Tribune o: Thursday contains a report
Of the trial of James b. Corey IS. CITY of De.
trOit, which case was tried in the Wayne Circuit,
on Wednesday and Thursday last, wherein the
plaintiff claims damages of the city TO the amour,
Of 100000 for injuries sustained by his wife,
Nov. I, ls5s-nearly year since. While GO
ing from this city to Southfeld, Oakland county,
on the evening of that day, they ran into an
open, unguarded sewer on Grand Rlver-street,
whereby Mrs. Corey was so badly injured that
she has been completely bed-ridden ever since
All power is lost over her body from the hips
ward, and there is no reasonable hope that she
will ever be better. She was a young woman,
81 years old. The facts of the case are truly
distressing.
The jury rendered verdict for the full a.
mount claimed, $4,000.

HORSE EMuLArIoN OF THE RIGHT kISD.-Ihe
n. Y. Tribune Of Wednesday, says that the
American Institute, on Tuesday last, Inaugural
ted an interesting novelty which we trust will
not only be perpe,ratcd here, but initiated else
where. II was public competition Of saddle
horses. trained and ridden by their owners, all
professional riders and horses being excluded.
The object was no, to show the speed Of the ami
mails, but the relative perfection Of their train
ing. A large collection nf persons witnessed the
performances, which lasted for about an hour.
Some OF the horses were admirable, though
none exhibited very high grade of education.
The track was not in good condition, but the
trial was perfectly fair one ; and the prize was
very Justly awarded to beautiful bay mare be-
longing to Mr.. Philip Lydig. We trust that
measures may be taken to secure occasional re-
petition Of such trials. They would tend to
greatly encourage the use Of horseback exer-
else, the most wholesome and agreeable to which
men of sedendary pursuits can resort.

FRIGHTFUL DEATH. At Hartford, Conn, a
boy named ". W. Sheperd, employed in rife
factory, was blown almost topieces while testing
eight ritie-barrels. Tho scene in the room is
described "a having been SO horrible as nearly
to deprive the occupants-three in number, be-
sides the deceased-of their senses One ball
entered his abdomen, passing thence upward
through his chest and head; one traversed his
right arm to the shoulder, and Others entered his
head scattering his brains over the entire apart
ment and it, occupants. Pieces Of his skull
were blown into Mr.. Phinneys face with such
force that they could only be extracted by means
of pincers. young man named John Bradley,
who was standing beside the deceased at the
time, in Il STOPPING posture, received one of the
balls through his cap, which must have killed

A HARD WORKING GovERSoR.-The Boston
correspondent OF the New York ErrHing Post
pays the following deserved compliment, 10 Gov
ernor Banks:
"lf there is a harder worked or a harder
working man in this Commonwealth than Gov.
Banks, he is TO be pitied. Since his return from
the rather cxacting Inequalities of New York,
he has, probably, more irons in the fire than at
any one time since he left the machine shop, At
the close of his apprenticeship. The duties de-
volving upon the Governor at the Commence
ments of Harvard and Tufts Colleges, the Piym-
outh Celebration, the burning of the Reform
School at Westboro' and the hospital on Deer Isl
and, the State Encampment at Concord, an extra
session. of the Legislature, with address before
the approaching State Fair in Michigan, and an
address at the State Fair in Vermont, aud the
Inauguration of the Webster Statue next Satur-
day seem Ia afford sufficiently ample and varied
field of labor for the energies Of one man. II
the Governor were man 90 slight hi- work, these
tasks would be sufficiently onerous; but he per-
forms thoroughly and carefully whatever he IN
dertakes. The decided success which has crowned
the eucampmcnt at Concord, is owing mainly TO
his energy and acIivity-qua!ities which lie has
the rare faculty of being able TO infused NTH 9TH

Mr.. Stewards I" IrrePressible Conflict

The declaration laid down by Mr.. Seward, in
his Rochester speech, that there is such an " IT.
repressible conflict between the institutions OF
Slavery and Free Labor that one or the other
must ultimately prevail throughout the Union,
has been denounced by Douglas and Others as
bloody and reasonable heresy. Mr.. Everett.
however, in his last grafton on Webster, init
mates that Mr.. Seward is brandishing borrowed
thunder, and that the doctrine in question had a
much less heretical origin. Mr.. Everett says
He Mr.. Webster not only confidently anti
cipated what the lapse OF seven years since his
decease has witnessed and is witnessing, that the
newly acquired and newly organized territories
of the Union would grow up into Free States,
but, IN common nth all or nearly all the states
men Of the last generation, he beiiered that free
la5or ro,.ld ultimately preraH throughout the
country. He thought he saw that, in the ope-
ration of the same causes, which have produced
this result in the Middle and Eastern States, it
was visibly taking place in the States north Of
the cotton growing region; and he inclined 10
the opinion that there, too, under the influence
of ply sical and economical causes, free labor
would eventually be found most productive, and
would therefore be ultimately established"

"CAU6Hr TARTAR."-Senator Hale OF y

eloquent but eccentric Tom. Marshall Of Ky,
was present The Dough Faces insisted thai
he should follow Mr.. Hale.
The Albany Ere. Journal says that they would
not hear to his excuses. Coming from Slave
State they were sure that he would talk right
and they literally forced him upon the stand
But 10 his speech was on the side of freedom
He denounced the compromise breakers, and
dashed Douglas as with scorpions. Finding
they had caught tartar, the Democrats tried to
stop him. But having begun against his will,
he would not stop till he got ready, and for
an hour he poured the hot lava of his eio-
quence upon the Sham Democracy, TO their
modification, and TO tl.e LeH5i,s or si.0 RSp-In

This mining was done under the superinten-

time the subject of our sketch Was about ten
years old.
In the early part of the presen; century, he
had a terrible encounter with black bear, near
the American landing, some twelve miles above
this village, the marks OF which he carried to
the grave. When found on the bank OF the
river, he was almost dead. the flesh being so
torn from his back and sides as TO expose the
bones and ribs in several different places, and
life despaired of for some days, but his iron
constitution finally oyercamc wounds which any
ordinary man mus. have sunk under and he re-

His antagonist, full grown bar, was found
dead but few rods from where the OLD chief

BURGLAR SHoT AND CAPIURED.-The house of
James f Ferguson, in the adjoining town OF
Summit, was broken into several nights since,
and many articles of provisions stolen therefrom.
Suspecting the thief might make another attempt
in the same way, Mr.. F. took the precaution 10
watch the place of entrance, and last Friday
night while he was on guard, armed with shot
gun, the same man made his appearance, took
out light of glass in the sash door, and had
thrust his arm through the opening thus made,
to loosen the fastening, when Mr. +. discharged
his gun at the offending arm, which was quickly
Withdrawn, and its owner beat hastv retreat.
He was pursued by Mr.. f., who, with the aid OF
Il faithful dog, soon captured the nocturnal ma

him to this city, and delivered him in charge Of
the authorities. The name OF the burglar Is
