DANGEROUS AGITATION

We are sorry to see the democrats so indus.
trously engaged in the agitation Of the
slavery question. 1t has for long time been
the great mischief-naker on that subject. In the

matter forward as the one absorbing topic Of the
times it revived it disas;rously again by the un.
called for repeal of the Missouri Compromise and
ever since it has had no other business apparent

the domestic institution, Look at the proceedings

We are again called upon to announce the
death of an old and prominent resident Of this
village-to monrn the loss of one who for nearly
twenty years, has been esteemed one Of our most
honorsd, intelligent and respected citizens.
Mr.. George W. Rogers died at his residence on
Pike street, on Monday evening, April 9th, after
q long and painful illness, which he bore with
Christian fortitude and resignation
Mr.. Rogers was born in New Haven, VT, De-
cenlber l4th, 1899, and was therefore GO years
and nearly four months old. He resided for some
years at Vergennes, VT, took up his residence in
Detroit in 1910, and in the subsequent year re-
moved to Pontiac where he has since resided.
During his residence among Us he has been iden.
tilted with the best interests of the village, and
has ever maintained true and spotless character
in oil the relations of life. He was faithful
friend and brother, q kind al ctionate husband
and father, and good man, whom large circle
OF friends and acquaintance will mourn with sim

pass away, We all may truly mourn.
Mr.. r. was member of the Masonic fraternity,

daughters to mourn his loss. The eldest son re-

TROUBLE AGAIN IN DR.. CHEEvER'S CHURCH,
At the annual meeting OF the members of this
church held on the 18th of March last, trustees
were announced az having been chosen, who
were supposed to be in favor OF DIR. Cheever
upon counting the votes, however, the inspectors
Of election discovered that some of the votes had
been Illegally CAST and accordingly gave the GER
tificate Of election 10 c. K Harvey and C. B
Tompkins two of the anti-Cheever trustees, and
also decided that no choice was made for the
third vacancy in the board of trustees. The dea
cons, who acted as inspectors of election, state
that il appeared to them that some of those who
voted for DIR. Cheever's friends were not eligible,
from noncompliance with the bylaws, which re.
qure that the voter shall have paid pew rent,
and have attended the church for one year pre-
ceding the election. The investigation showed
that some Of DIR. Chcever's voters had not paid
pew rent to the treasurer, but held receipts from
Dr. Cheever himself, as a creditor of the society.
1t is alleged that Dr. Cheever gave these receipts
to those who paid nOthing-thus giving or lend
ing them the money to vote. On the other hand,
DR.. Cheever's friends say that the receipts were
given on behalf of the treasurer, and that the
DIR. 3 salary being in arrears, he had a right to
give them. To this it is replied that none out
the treasurer could collect moneys, and that no
payments were legal unless to him, or to some
one authorized by him to give receipts. Both
parties have procured legal advice in the matter,
aud will bring it into the courts The Cheever
meh have obtained an injunction from the Supe.

Gates from performing the duties of trustees until

tnued.-N Y. Com. Ady. Oh.

Corrsspondenee Of the New York Post
The Southern Opposition and Mr.. Douglas
WASHINGTON Anril 9th.

Washington, April 9th.
The Southern opposition members Of Congress
are exceedingly anxious that Mr. Douglas should
be taken up at Charleston. They saw that his
nomination would not only give them four or
five slave States for conservative candidate,
but that it would give them liberty to make such
terms as they please with the Republicans, for
there is scarcely Democratic print in all the
slave States which has not within the last two
years expressed the opinion that Seward himself
was preferable to Douglas for President The
southern Democrats have upon the stump taken
the most violent ground against Judge Douglas,
and If he were nominated, say the Southern
Americans, it would so cripple the Southern De-
mocracy, that the Opposition would be sure to
beat them in several of the States.
This view of the matter il an important one
to the National Democracy, without doubt. but
il is not entirely correct. The people of the
South, in spite Of the buster of their Leaders,
could easily see difference between Douglas
and Seward, and if he were nominated he would
unquestiOnably carry all but two or three Of the
Southern States. His danger Of defeat would
not rest so much with the South as with North.
Shrewd politicians from Illinois assert that since
his Infamous reply to Mr.. Seward, Mr.. Douglas
cannot carry his own State, and it is more than
probable that he could not carry Pennsylvania,
for even if Col. Forney supports him, that fact
BY itself would drive from Mr. Douglas thousands
of the Buchanan Democrats.

NEEDLEwORK-There is something extremely
pleasant, and even touching-at least, Of very
sweet, soft, and winning effect-in this pecuari-
ty of needlework, distinguishing women from men.
Our own sex is incapable Of any such by-play,
aside from the main business of life; but women
be they of what earthly rank they may, how
ever gifted with intellect or genius, or endowed
with awful beauty-have always some little han
diwork ready to fill the tiny gap of every tiny
moment A needle is familiar to the fingers of
them all. A queen, no doubt, plies it on Occa-
sion the wOman-pOet can use it as adrOitly as
her pen; the woman's eye that has discovered a
new star, turns from its glory to send the polish
ed little instrument cleaning along the hem of
her kerchief or to darn casual fray in her dress.
And they have greatly the advantage of us in
this respect The slender thread of silk or cotton
keeps them united with the small, familiar, gentle
interests of life, the continually repeating inlu-
ences of which do SO much for the health of the
character, and carry off what would otherwise be
a dangerous accumulation of morbid insensbity.
A vast deal of human sympathy runs along this
electric line, stretching from the throne to the
wicker-chair of the humble seamstress, and keep.
ing high and low in species of communion with
their kindred beings. Methinks, it is a token of
healthy and gentle characteristics, when women
of high thoughts and Accomplishments love to sew,
especially as they arc never more at home with
their own hearts than while so occupied.

A FRLsnrr WANTED. The remarkably IA
vorable weather for banking logs last winter was
70 fully taken advantage of by our enterprising
lumbermen that an unusually large quantity of
Lays was ready for rafting in the spring; but
the snow went off so gradually and quietly, that
the usual spring freshet did not occur, and there
has been no heavy rains since to raise the rivers;
consequently piles of logs are lying all along the
smaller streams, without water sufficient to float
them down to the mills. Only a small portion
Of the logs got out last winter can now be rated
only those banked on the larger streams.
Some of the mills have started, but most of them
with supply for only few weeks or days ;
others would start soon if logs could be RATED.
The rain yesterday gave some hope of freshst,
but as yet, it is not yet suffcient.-Sag. En-.
