= REPuDLroAN County CONVENTION
Simultaneously with the assembling Of
the black republican county convention,
last evening, all nature seemed to grow
mad. The heavens Immediately assumed
the darkest aspect, the lightnings flashed,
the thunder was terrific, the whole earth
shook to its very centre, and the rain de,
scended in torrents amid the widest blasts
OF the tempest. Tho scene was grand,
sublime, terrible. Well, the thought nat
urally occurred 10 us that it was an APP
propriate timo for such conflict of the
elements of nature. And should not
our republican friends see something ON
nous in all this, when nature itself grows
angry and frowns so tremendously at the
little gatherings wherein sectionalism and
fanaticism are combined?
The convention chose as delegates to
attend the coming Republican State Con-
vention, JAMES p. ScorT, County Clerk
and Register of this County, and Mr..
LITcHFIELD, of Blendon.

RY & Son, of this place, was capsized on
Friday morning last. A severe squall
from the southwest struck her, when
about forty miles from Chicago, and her

NIL succeeded in clearing themselves from
the wreck, although the captain and cook,
who were asleep in the cabin, had very
narrow escape. They were picked up by
the schooner Gem, and arrived at Chica-
60 safely. The Tug Nc Queen, with the
schooner Magic in tow, Immediately went
in search of the vessel, and by Sunday
forenoon had her safely in port.

"AsLEEP."-A painful incident occur
red in the family of GILES T. WOODBURY.,
Esq, Of our village, recently. Mr.. W.
and his lady were in attendance at the
Republican Convention, at Chicago, and
while there, their little daughter JENNIE,
aged years and 8 months,who accompan-
led them, was taken suddenly and severe
ly i'll with the scarlet fever, which ter
minated fatally in few hours. Her re-
mains were brought back on the steamer
Comet, and were met by large con-
course of citizens at the wharf, who ac-
companied the grief stricken parents to
their residence with every demonstration
of sorrow and sympathy. The funeral
took place on the same day, at Mr.. WIS.
residence, at which Rev'ds. ANDERSON
and COOPER oficiated.
JENNIE was a sweet little girl, Of low
ing and endearing mold of mind and dis
position, and seemed with childish artless-
ness to love everybody and to DO beloved
by everybody in turn. But now, we be-
lieve she is permitted to live in higher
sphere; and tho little rosebud that was
Just expanding in an earthly garden, has
only been transplanted, to bloom more
perfectly, more beautifully, in the garden
of Paradise, and TO be hereafter a bright
jewel in the crown of her doting parents,
when, like her, they shall fall into that
sleep that knows no waking save in
Heaven.

GOVERNMENT OF TowNsHIPs.-We are
in receipt of a folio work of some 270 pa
ges, entitled flaws of Michigan concern
ing the organization and government of
Townships, and the powers and duties of
Township officers and Boards of Supervi-
sors, with numerous practical forms and
notes referring to adjudicated cases." by
ELIJAH M. HARRIS, sold by S. D. Ell
WOOD, Detroit. From the cursory view
VIC have been able TO give this week, we
think it an admirable one. In many of
the towns of our State, citizens are COM
PEELED to place in power, men excellent in
character and position even, but whose
want of acquaintance with the duties of
the Office to them intrusted, leads to no
little embarrassment on their part, but
often to litigation, vexation and expense
to the township; and even our Board of
Supervisors are not unfrequently, in the
discharge of the duties of their response
bic position, in want of reliable guide.
And this book seems to furnish all desi-
rable information on any and every point
that may be presented for consideration,
with the necessary forms for the transac-
tons of all kinds of business, that may
legitimately come before the Board. The
work is endorsed by by Judge MARTIN,
and the Associate Judges.

vENTIoN.-At Democratic County
Convention, held at Manistee, 23d inst,
the course pursued by the Michigan dele
cation, in support of Mr.. DOUGLAS, at
the late Charleston Convention, was en-
dorsed with great enthusiasm.
The convention chose j. +. McGNLY
to represent the county at the Democratic
State Convention, with instructions to
vote for JOHN s. BARRY, as he is decided
ly their first choice for the Office of Gov
ernor.
Mr.. McGINLY speaks encouragingly of
the prospects Of the democracy of Manis-
tee county. He thinks there is proba-
bility of carrying that black republican
banner county of the State over TO the
ranks of the democracy this fall. 1t can
be done. This whole northern lake shore
country, between this place and Traverse
City, is PROFESSIONALLY strongly demo-
cratic, and already the spirit Of devotion
to their country and constitution is NOV
ing them on to an irrepressible conflict"
with sectionalism and hatred-modern
black republicanism.
