v0ring to enact q registry law, in spite Of their
State constitution, which defines the qualca-

claims his vote sixty days, shall be entitled to
pote at all elections which are nolr and hereafter

commenced his stock gambling some years ago,
and was at first suscessful, having made $4,000

in Erie railroad and in mining stocks. His dis
honesty is the more surprising, as he has always
borne most excellent character, and his style
of living prudent and befittng his station. His
aged father Mr.. George Kenyon, well known
in Kent county, is his bondsman to the bank for
$4,000.
