TX We stated last week that the
Vermont liquor law sis milder in many
respects than that of Maine" 1t NAV
be required that we should specify in
what particulars. The following are
some Of them
|. The Maine law authorizes the seiz.
ure of all intoxicating liquors found un.
der search warrant, whether intended
for sale or not Our law allows the seizure
OF such liquors only as are found under
- circumstances warranting the belief
that they are intended for sale"
2. The Maine law makes no exception
Of cider, for the owners private
use. Our law allows the manufacture
and keeping of any quantity for ones
own use, and its sale (by anybody in
quantities exceeding five gallons, for
culinary and other uses.
3 Citizens of another state are not
allowed to collect debt contracted for
liquor, in Maine our law makes no
such provision.
4. All evidences of debt, based " in
whole or in part" on liquor sales, are
made worthless by the Maine law. Our
law merely prevents the collection of a
book account for liquor sold contrary
to law, or any action to recover the value
Of intoxicating liquor.
5. Dwelling houses are not excepted,
by the Maine law, in the section direct
ing search and seizure without warrant,
on public occasions. This exception is
made by our law.
6. The Maine law provides that search
may be made for liquors believed to be
in possession (intonded for sale) of any
person not authorized to sell the same
an said to'on--materially differing from
ours, which makes no such limitation, as
to the authority of the owner or keeper
10 sell such liquors
7. The Maine law inficts a double
penalty on the respondent if, after ap-
pealing, he ispronounced guilty by the
county court. The Vermont law docs
not so provide.
8. Tho respondent, if he takes an ap-
peal, under the Maine law, IL required to
advance the jury fees, in addition to the
bonds required by our law another
point Of difference between the two.
9. Clerks and agents, by the hw of
Maine, may be fined and imprisoned, as

AMgRICAN AND ENGLISH LADIES'

AasRIcAN AND ENGLISH LADIES'
We heard good anccdote the other
day of Mrs. Patterson, of Baltimore,
the American lady connected with
the Bonaparte family by marriage.
Being in Italy, at an evening party, it
fell to her lot to be handed in to the
supper table BY young English noble
man, who, unlike most Of the patricians
Of England, had good share of the
puppy in his composition. Thinking
to quiz the old lady, he said @" You
are acquainted with the Americans I
believe 2" " Very WE'LL" "a mon
strously vulgar people, are not they 2"
" Yes; but what could you expect
when you consider that they are de-
scended from the English? Had their
progcnitors, now, been Italians or Span.
iards, we might look for some good
breeding among them" The noble
man did not venture to tread on Mrs.
Patterson's toes again that evening.

for him as our Teacher,
ReSolued, 1 hat it is with the deepest
regret that we have heard of the resig

the number, and the MorOugh and eff
Client scholarship of its students; aud
that to him we are indebted. alike for
the kindness of his counsels, and for the
valuable instruction received under his

greet his leaving us, it is, and ever will
be, a source of qualification to recall the
time we have spent under his charge, as
most profitable to us, and fraught with
the most pleasing recollections,
Resotred, That as token of our es.
TEEN, we tender to him a copy of these
resolutions, together with our grateful
