Business at the HarbOr has brought in,
as might be expected some rather un-
wholesome and per haps dangerous char
acters, whose boldness, has shown itself
in the annoyance and intimidation of
some of the good people of that precinct
A company of f We of this class, went to
the house of SETH BELKEAP, somewhere
between 6 and 9 o'clock on Friday eve
ming last, asking for various things and
afterwards, being bolder, demanded mon
CIV. In the course of the scolding and
threatening, two of the party drew reyol-
vers. Mrs. B. brough out a shot gun TO
meet them, but it was deemed not
quite prudent to use it, The old lady
then determined to rally the neigh
bors, but in this she was headed off.
Arm was, however, gwen by holloing,
and some of the neighbOrs rallied. and
the party left. The same fellows have
shown themselves at other houses about
that neighborhoOd-John Harmon, Gil
bert Harmon, and Sheldon Harmon's,
asking for food and money. but were
dismissed without trouble They also
went to the house of Capt Nelson Wat
rous, the other day, and Mrs. W. being
alone they demanded meal, and she
felt constrained to furnish it. Some, or
all of them it is said, belong to gang of
drillers and dredgers that have hereto
fore worked at the HarbOr under the
Dodges or other contractors, and one Of
them at least is known and known too as
a desperate hard case At that time they
molested and abused persons on the high
way, as the writer had occasion to know
from his own experience Going in a
gang-armed-if the police were not put
at defiance, they had no fear Of arrest.
Such, we suppose is the case now. Force
enough, it would seem might be mustered,
if they are still hanging about, to give
them better ideas of decency and pro-

Kingsville, Aug. II, 1874

Ed TsE-We. as citizens of KingsvilIe
wish to make our protest against the par.
tIal and unjust manner in which few Of
the citizens of this place have endeavored
and are endeavOring to influence voters
against the adoption OF the new Constiiu.
ton. At "a late meeting held at one ol
the churches in this place, and at which
but eight or ten voters were present a res.
olution was offered to the effect "thal the
only safe way to vote down the License
claus. was to vote against tn new Con-
Iitution, and therefore, wr, the citizens OF
Kingsvillr. will use our influence against,
and vote against the new Constitution in
toto, &C.
The vote was taken on the resolution,
and but four or five votes were cast when
the chairman decided it duly adopted.
This they propose to publish as the voice
of the voters of the township, against
which we protest. The fact is, and should
so be understood by all, that we may vote
in favor OF the new Constitution, and vet
vote against License; and thai the adOp
ton of the Constitution and the rejection
of the License clause will in no way af-
feet the existing laws against the sale of
intoxicating liquors.
There seems to be some misunderstood.

The quantity of ore that is accumuia-
ting upon the A, 7. & P premises. threat
ems to engrOss the whole space to the eX-
tent of cramping and clogging business
Ii is the expectation, as ii will probably
be necessity, for handling the ore over
t he second time by the use Of two cranes
throwing it over some hundred feel from
the dock line, Thus with little actiVi-
~ in running it of by use of the cars
will probably carry the com pany TO the
close of the season.
The ore dock that pu shed out into
the creek at the HarbOr a few weeks
ago, is undergoing repairs and the front
row of piles have been removed, and an
other driven in line in its place, upon
winch the Gaping tim Der has been plac-
ed. Other piles are being driven which
win make the new structure, probably
mare substantial than the old one.
The Eseanaba Tribune notices similar
occurrence on the 22nd ult.; about 90 feet
of an ore dock. at FaYeite, showed out
into the water, precipitating some 1000
tons some IA feet below the surface
The accumulation Of coal. too, is filling
up much of the space devoted tOit. The
removal by shipment, the past few weeks
has hardly been equal in activity to the
fore part of the season, when it seemed
difficult to get it along fast enough to
meet the demand.

WHEREAS, The liquor makers and
venders demand that the State oil OHIO
shall authorize the sale OF the accurseo
article by granting license Tor that pur-
nose and thereby giving liquor makers
and venders the moral support and re-
snec,sbility which attaches to legal form
in a bad cause as well as good, therefore,
Res0lped, That it is the desire of the
ciuzens here assembled, that each elector
of the township of Kingsville cast his vote
on the 18th day of the present month, for
:" No License" and believing that the pro-
posed New Constitution if adopted with
License attached, would be q great evil,
and desirous of doing all that can te done
to avert said evil, therefore,
ResoIeed, That we request said electors
10 vote against the New Constitution, al
so.
The resolutions were adopted, but ma
ny are divided IN sentiment. While few
Can be found who will not put their foot
down on the license side, there are those
who have scruples against taking position
against the New Constitution. They be-
lieve that it has many improvements up
on the old. The positions of s. ]. Rock
we'll, and the Rev. Mr.. Hnugh, gave
strength to these views The meeting,
though light IN attendance, did somriIing
toward making more plain the path OF
duty at the polls. We are living in such
wholesome atmosphere, in our good,
old benighted Ashtabula, that all the care
we see fit to bestow on the license ques-
tion, is to make sure of its annihilation.
Next to the license question comes. per-
haps, the blackberry question. The fruit
is plenty and nice. aud numbers of our
people are gathering for present as well
as canning purposes.
