FAILURE OF THE MAINE LAW IN AMERICA.—Mr.
Joseph Barker, who for many years advocated temper-
ance and the Maine Law, and who emigrated to Ame-
rica seven years ago, and who is so well-known as a sin-
cere friend to all moral and social reform, has addressed a
letter to Mr. S. Watson, of the bank in Leeds, on the
subject of the Maine Law. Mr. Barker, who may be
judged to be a complete authority on this subject, says
in his communication, which is dated March 30, 1857
" The Maine Law is a failure in America, and nothing
but moral suasion will make a people sober, good, and
happy, either here or in any other country."—Manches-
ter Examiner.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY IN THE DAYTIBIE.—On Friday
morning last, between 9 and 10 o'clock, as a youth about
15 years of age, son of Mr. Cope, draper, of Cock-street,
was proceeding from his father's residence at Penn to
school, in company with two other boys, ho was met
near the cemetery wall by a young man, about 18, who,
putting a pistol to his mouth, threatened that if he did
not give up his watch, he would blow his brains out.
The affrighted boy drew from his pocket a gold watch
which was suspended round his neck by a gold chain, at
which the fellow made a deperate snatch, and set off
across some fields. He stopped, however, after proceed-
ing about a dozen yards, and again levelling the pistol,
threatened to blow out the brains of either of the boys
who attempted to follow him. The robber has not yet
been apprehended,— Wo/rvhampton Chronicle
