C The decision of the U. S. Supreme
Court on OUT License Laws. has a very ia

relinquished the traffic since that decision.
and has determined TO prosecute all his nigh
bors who sell. 1t is also stated that Brig
ham, the keeper of the notorious gin palace
in this city, is about to yield to the mandate
Of the law. The courts seem also TO be TAX

for violations Of the license law. the Court
would hereafter require the convicted party
TO gire bond for his future good behar10T dm-
ring one year, and that in case of violation
Of the license law within that time, the laws
would be risidly enforced, both upon the
guilty party and upon the bail.-Hdmpshtre
