amble and resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
WHER EAs, we feel the deepest sorrow, for
the loss Of our late brother and G. W. p,

The Maine Law in vermont.

The New York "Times" publishes
the following extract from a private
letter, dated Burlington, Vt, July
10th, 1853:
The Maine Law works admirably,
and those who were originally opposed
to it, now say that it is the best law
ever made. There has been no one
in iail for about two months, for any
criminal act, though few have been
taken up for being intoxicated. One
person gave aman and woman in his
employ some liquor, and the woman
got tipsy. The offender was arrested,
and it cost him $1lO to settle it.
