TESTIMONY TO THE MAINE Law,

TESTIMONY TO THE MAINE Law.
The Vermont Chronicle testiies TO the
excellent effects OF the Maine Law in
that State, in the following manner:
"When the law was first published,
mol q few very worthy citizens had
doubts abou! it. In many cases, these
doubts SO far prevailed as to prevent
their voting in its favor. But il has
now had q brief trial among US. So far
as the questions raised respecting it have
come before the Courts, it has been sus.
tanned as constitutional law, such as it
lies within the just discretion Of the
Legislature 10 enact. II has emptled
at least three ol our county jails. The
testimony from every part Of The Slate
is, that il operates iavorably-that the
well being Of the community is promo
ted by it. Even in Windsor county,
where its administration has been in
unfriendly hands in most important
particular, and needless Inconvenience
may have resulted, andwhere the oppo-
sition has been exceedingly active, we
believe the conviction Of its value has
been constantly extending and becom-
ing more fixed. We do not believe
that the County is in favor Of repeal"

A strong wooden cylinder, four
feet in diameter and four and half
