being no water in the canal, is to be depio-
red, though with the wind blowinge as lt'did
on Thursday, il is hardly possible that tpe

upon the prosperity Of Chilicothe, except
that il will throw the city several yearsln'o

sure! nreply 10 his assertionthat no liquor
agency in tie State Of Maine could be abolish
ed except by repeal Off the law, we stated that
any agency could be abolished, at The pleas
ure Of the authorities OF any town me iha
State, and advised him to consult the law
itself TO see what kind of an instrument he
advocated. He still adheres 10 his first posi-
ton, and makes his long ears decidedly prom
inent by quoting the ID section OF the Maine
law, as follows;
SEC. Q. The selectmen of any town and
mayor and adermenlof any city, on the first
Monday of May annually, or as soon there
after as may be convenient, may appoint
some suitable person, as the agent pl SAID
Town or city, 10 sell at some central and con-
yenient place within said town or city, spir-
lis, wines, or other intoxicating liquors, 10
be used for medical and mechanical purposes
and no other; and said agent shall receive
such compensation Tor bis services as llle
board appointing him shall prescribe and
Shall in the sale OF such liquor, conform lo
such rules and regulations, as the selec'men
or mayor and aldermen as uioresaid, shall pre-
scribe for hat purpose. And such agent ap'
pointed as aforesaid, shall hold his situation
ior one year, unless sooner removed BY the
board from which lie received his appoint
ment as he may be al tany time, at the pleas
urs of said. board. r
The editor then remarks:
Now here it will be seen that the "select

this momantary iudecision, bounded into the
brushwood and disappeared. Then the
mother recovered her senses; screaming III d
voice which sounded like anything but hu-

rushed after her child whom she had Just seen

more and more feeble, froze the very life
