0uestioms and Answers.

Uuder the above caption communica-
ton was published in this paper last week,
in which, the writer labored very hard to
answer some questions asked BY us in the
Standard of the week before, and in doing
so makes himself quite ridiculous in the
eyes of the Board and of the community
The fact of his statement in regard to the
heavy costs for repairs and motive power,
shows conclusively that Mr.. D. knew all
about the matter; =and his statement Of the
rates of passenger fare, making it zone
dollar" instead of one dollar and twenty
cents, shows conclusively, that he knew
nothing about the matter, and brings to
view, that big chalk mark on hs hat
AS for the remainder of his remarks, they
are so silly as to render it unnecessary for
us to notice them. We would advise the
gentleman to follow the example of
"The man that was so wonderous wise,
Who jumped into a briar-busb, and scratched
out both his eyes;
Being thus in trouble and be-rid with pain,
de Jumped into another bush and scratched
them in again"

Cry OF PORTLAND.

MAYORS OFFICE, Aug l2. 1853
Dear Sir:-The liquor law has been
and is still enforced in this city. We
have no public drinking houses or shops
where liquor spublcly sold, and our city
Is very quiet, But few cases of inlem.
perance are seen. and cases OF crime
before our last court was much less than
for some years previous. Liquor can be
purchased freely in our neighboring State,
New Hampshire, and in the city Of Bos
ton. ANY of our citizens can purchase
there snd take it to their houses Tor use,
but not Tor sale. | have no doubt there
Is much drinking in private, which the
law cannot and does not attempt to con.
troll. So far as meets the public eye there
has been a very great Improvement in
our city under the operation of the law.
Yours &C.,
JAMES B. CAHOON. Mayor.
