10 The following is from the Patriot. We
are glad 10 see that the Patriot has some sense
OF justice lefl-evon towards portion of the
Wing legislature of 1910. 1t would be no less
just TO say that the committee on Roads has
been burdened with business which could not be
attended to without sittings during the business
hours Of the Senate aud Ionse.
II Is but just to the members Of the Road
committee, OF which Mr.. Dcane of Cnvcndish is
chalrnun, 10 say that Tor tie last week that COM
mntte has been III almost constant session. This
fact should satisfactorily account iur the absence

Great complaint Is made from CERTAIN quar-
tiers, that the ire ds of temperance are cuutn-
ualiy agitatIng The lcence question, and when
'hey get law, they do mol siopihe hq6ic IN ar.
IL nj sMrts. Now is It lpodasI, Is It candid, is 1t
riSM Tor the inends of temperance to ask for an
act OF this kind, such a one as they deem neceSsa-
~, and then have IT muilated until II is perfectly
impoient, and then for them 10 be accused OF a
failure? That the present License act is defec
hve, aud that it was eeakened by passing the
Legislature, is beyond doubt certain Let The
present Legislature give the State such lac as
HE friends Of Temperance ask, and then if the
traffic IS not discontinued, the opponents of ten-
perance may triumph with good reason on their
side. II is a fact that large majority of the
state desire such law. Let US have it then
and make lair experiment. Nor a MEMBER.

AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.-lt is said that
one of the prominent features of the report
Of Mr. Ewing, will be the recommendation
Of the establishment by law of an Agricul-
tural Bureau at Washington. This will re-
lleve the Patent Office, if established, of a
load which, in justice to the inventors OF
the country, it never ought to have been
obliged to bear. 1t will also advance the
interest OF the farmer, by making more am

Absolem Nippers was a widower, and
one Of the particularest men perhaps that
ever lived though some people said that
vhsa his wife was alive, he used to dress
as common as a field hand, didn't use to
take no pains with himself at all. In his
settlement he had a monstrous bad
nsme, particularly among the women; who
used to say that he didn't allow his wife
more'n one dress q year, and as for a new
shawl or bonnet, the poor woman did not
know nothing about such things. Every
body noticed how he spruced about six
weeks after Mrs. Nippsrs died, and how he
vent to church regular every Sunday, but
they dida'thav any confidence in bis rsl;-
gion, and used to say that he only went to
show his new suit Of mourning and to ogle
the gals. Old Mrs. Rogers hated him Ike
poison, and said that she believed that his
poor wife died broken hearted, and a. for
his pretending to be sorry about it, that
was ell sham, for she could see plain enuff
