BOARDING ON TIcK.-A poor loafer hearing
that they charged five dollars day for board in
California, sa id he would 90 there and live,' as
he wished to get in some place where he could
lar about the price. This reason for going to Cali
forna might operate more forcibly with some
persons in St. Paul If it were not that the steam
boats will soon be running, with good warm
meals on their tables. TO sit down to.
| HARD DRINKING.-The Bath Tribune says,
THAT before the passage Of the Maine Liquor
Law, there were twenty Irish rum shops and ten
or fifteen others, and that the seuii-weeky steam
ers rolled out ten to twenty barrels Of rum at each
trip, besides what was brought by the packets,

as the lowest amount paid per annum for liquors
in that city for the last five years AT present it
is added, the traffic is in "a great measure sup
! pressed; the number of commitments during the
last SIX months, has not exceeded third of those
in the same space of lime, in former years, and
notw ithsianding the severity of the winter, the

The MAINE LrQUoK LAW IN THE NEW
| YoRK LEGIsLATURE.-Th New York Herald
says: "a bill was yesterday introduced into the
State Senate, the features Of which are similar
to those Of the Maine Liquor Law The effect
Of this bill if passed, would be to close all drink
ing saloons, high or low, aud remove all means
whereby man may become intoxicated. This
subject will probably be source Of much discus
sion during the present session of the Legislature.
Many members having been elected upon the
temperance platform alone, will use every exer-
ton to carry their measures"
So it is not in Minnesota alone, that this sirug-
gle for supremacy is going on, between temper
ance measures and tin measures.
| MAINE LIouoa LAW IN OLprowN.-Im-
media,ely after the Temperance meeting held last
Friday evening, Jan. l6, the work of searching
for liquors was commenced.
| On Saturday, l7ih, kensell' s store search
ed. and FIVE barrels ard two kegs were seized
This week the work has been resumed in good
earnest. Gray tavern, at Pea Cove, was search

was searched, and various pac ages filed with
liquors and their contents destroye he became
enraged, broke deeanters &c. AT the Sacramento
House, Upper Saltwater, six or eight packages,
containing from IS to 100 gallons, were seized
which were poured into the gutter, where liquors
have sent many poor fellow.
| They also seached the fremont House, and the
| Wadieigh House, but found no liquors.
! All public places where it was supposed liquors
were kept, have been searched. May all other
places 60 and do likewise Bangor Courier.
We publish the above, to show how they go to
work TO put this law in force, in Maine When
| liquor is banished from sale. it will go hard with
poor thirsty fellows, who have TO buy il by the
dram or not at all. They had better break on,
tog ether from all the States and establish sort
Of Utah Of their own, where they can enjoy their
liquor without persecution.
| THE Lee CaoP.-U'e learn from various
parts of the country on the most credible author

abundant, and is gathered with great success.

and of remarkable transparency. Where it has
been cut the after crop is of more than hall

ice establishments heed the proverb. "Alakc hay

in the supply of ibis article during the ensuing
season. A large portion Of the ice crop of Mil,-
ncsota, will be lost, for want Of hands to harves,
it. We viii give any man half the crop, to Sc
cure as i hundred acres of ice. Our annual losses
in that way are immense. So it is with hay
