PLANK RoAD TO Sr. ANTHONY FROM Sr.
PAUL.-No charter was applied for. The
reason probably is, that the Legislature man
fes,ed an unwillingness to give charter
not repealabls at any time. No Company
will ever build road under any such char
ter.
SERENApE.- learn that A. w. Fay
Tor, Esq, of ST. Anthony, late proprietor of
the St. Anthony hydraulics, jointly with +.
Steele, ESQ. hut who has since sol out to
Mr.. Steele, was serenaded by party of
gentlemen the other night ia mark

/ The LIQUOR L,w.--lt was believed at
one time that the NJ line liquor law in our
Legislature, was lost rretrievably upon
point Of order; being overlsid between the
two Houses. Committee of Conference
had been out to reconcile disagreeing
amendments; and both Houses denied hav-

ed as bright rs if fresh galvanized. But, in
came near Bill, just like Bill 81 that was
disowned; and by hosting the food gate of
rules, il was hurried through in n twnkling
Those who counted upon the Executive
Veto, were disappointed. The history of
this law in our Legislature, is not unlike its
history in the Legislature OF Maine. Neal
Dow, Esq, in his speech before the Legs-
la,ive COMMITTEES of Mass. gave full his

/ passage of IN, Maine iql>r law. He said
one democratic senator from Cumberland
county strenuouSly opposed the bill in every
stage, until it came up on its y ,ssaye, and
then he felt compelled to vote f3r it, though
while doing so, he entertained a strong hope
Of killing il III another qultter. that is by
inducing the democratic Cover nor to veto
it. So he went to the Executive and i'm
plored him to veto it. The sia niiicant re-
ply of Gov. Hubbard wns--"S1r, let every
man skin his own skunk. IN s kn this hll.'
