AS there was some misunderstanding
in regard to the uniform ballot the fol.
lowing in regard to it by the two lead
ing attorneys na,ned and furnished fol
publication is important:
Since some misunderstanding seems
to have arisen respecting the prOvis.
ions of the "aCt to provide q uniform
ballot for election purposes" the un-
iersigned, after careful consideration OF
the same, state Lhe following as theiI
opinion upon certain matters concern
ing which Inquiries have been made:
l. The act presCribes the size, and
prohibits any marking of the ballot
upon the outside or inside other wise
than BY printing or writing Of the
names Of those who are voted for and
OF the office to which those voted
for are lntendeded to be- chosen together
with the name of the party to which
majority of those voted for belong.
2. The act, however, does not pro-
hibit the erasing or scratching of any
name or Lames from a ballot, even
though no name be substituted for any
name 30 erased or scratched; but a
name may or may not be substituted
for a name scratched or erased at the
option of the elector, and such substi-
tuition, If made, may he either In writ
ing or by printed slips, pasted over
any name proposed to be erased or
scratched.
3. A ballot which contains the nam es
of more than two persons TOR the office
of Senator in the General Assembly, ,can
not be counted as vote for Senators,
though good as to the residue of the
ballot; ard a ballot which contains the
names of more than seven persons for
the Office of Representatives. in the Gen
eral Assem- bly,, can not be cOuu ted as a
vote for representatives, though good
as to the residue of the ballot. But a
ballot which contains the name of few
or than two persons for Senators, or
than seven persons for Representatives
in the General Assembly, is good as to
those voted for.
L. Only one person can be voted for
from each hundred entitled to q Levy
Court Commissioner, though it is not
obligatory that o ballot should contain
the name of q candidate from each
hundred entitled.
4 IA voter is entitled to vote tor any one
or more of the officers to be elected
without voting for the others.

A FIGHTING FAMILY,

A dozen years ago q farmer came
into Detroit with load of potatoes and
sold them to grocer. A dispute arose
as to the quantity. The farmer felt
himself cheated out of two bushels and
he lett the grocer with black eye, Tie
grocer was man who meant to keep
even with all men. He therefore took
an affidavit to whip that agricultural
tniler within an inch OF his life, and the
longer he waited the madder he got.
At tho end of a month, seeing no pros
pect of catching the farmer in town, the
grocer procured horse and buggy aud
drove out to the farm to have it out.
When within three milesiof the place
he encountered q man on the high way
and Inquired:
"Can you tell me where old striver
lives?"
Yes, going to buy cattle OF him?"
mo, sir! I'm going TO pound him out
of'his boots"
II guess not! I'm cid Striver's son
and you've got to whip me first?"
The grocer jumped out and battle
resulted. He polished the son of, but
1t was a tight squeeze. He had not
gone half mile when a man who was
husking corn near the fence hailed him
with:
"Dld you have fight down there?"
"Yes,"
"Who whipped?"
III did,"
"Well, that was my brother you were
fighting; and may be you think you
can mash me, tOo!'
A second ii hit took place, and proved
draw. The grocer was somewhat dis.
cOuraRed, having several loose teeth
and nOse as big as his wrist, but he
drove on to the next house. A stappinR
fellow absut 27 years old was cutting
wood at the gate, and the grocer drew
up and asked:
"How tar is 1t t. StriVer 81"
(which Striver?"
"Wby, the old liar Striver's."
stranger, the man who speaks tt at
way of my old dad has got to be pound
ed, " remarked the chopper, and third
fight was soon on the boards. This
time The grocer had bis fill ard, after
brushing the grass OGt of his hair,
asked:
How far is it to Mr. John Striver's?'

zone more question I've met and
fought with three of his sons. Ia there
another living between here and the
old man's?"
"Anothel? Why,there are three, aud
besides there are two single ones at
home who could turn you wrong side
out in twenty seCOnds!"
The grocer drove Slowly back to the
oi ~ and went to bed for week. His
mistake was in not waiting to catch
the old man home some time when all
the boys were off fishing.
