habit OF selling spiriiuous liquors TO the de-
PENDANTS husband, which caused him TO como

a tavern or grocery which makes tho
neighbors drunken and insane is n public
nuisance, and may be pulled down and des-
troyed by the neighbors who are injured by
it. Ii is worse than the plague. And il
men will not put haHds OH it, then should
the women do il. Tell us not it is property.
1t ceases to be property when il is employed
10 destroy the people. II a man lights his
torch and sets about putting fire TO the houses
about him, any person may seize the torch
and dcstrny it. So if man takes a pistol

royed by any person who can do il. We
sincerely hope thut the women Of the State
will profit 10y this example aud go to destroy
