Correspondence Of The n. Y Tlibune. -.
LYONS, n. Y, Thursday, Aug. o. 1854.
Of late the shafts of death are flying thick among
our landlords -Four out Of six Of our hOtel.keepers
in this town have died within a short time-three of
them within ten days-the two last were strongly
marked rum cases We have "a Carson County League
in operation but its power TO close the dram shops has
been greatly parayzed by the want of frmness of one
of the Oyerseers of the Poor. All the executions
that were ordered out by one Overseer have been
stayed by the other (James McElwane). When God
had cut down the fourth landlord of our citizens
rudely remarked THAT if McElwane stayed has exc
cutions, God did not stay his." l will write You
seen about temperance in this county soon.
We had Court this week. Quite number OF in
dictments for u violation of the Excise Law were TO
be tried but owing the illness of the DisrictAttor
ney were laid over. Some plead guilty, and were
fined S25. Our County Judge is not severe on the
rumsellers-he takes moderate ground-ialllng con.
siderably below my mark; still he is worthy man,
and should be glad to him continued on the bench

Correspondence Of The N. Y Tribune. -
BOsToN, Wednesday, Aug, 90, 1854
Through the personal efforts Of Mayor Smith and
the friends of Temperance information has been filed
before the Grand Jury of the county against upward
of two hundred rumseers. Many have already been
indicted and the prospect is most of the cases Will be
disposed of next week. If the work is prosecuted
with equal zeal and force next month, shall have
made the rum traffic in Boston dangerous and un-
profitable business. If these efforts do not wake up
the friends of Temperance, know not what VIII.
Tbere has been such perfect freedom among the
sellers for years past that is wonder how Proiessed
Temperance men remain silent az the great body OF
them do. Mayor Smith, though not elected solely on
Temperance grounds has shown some life in the mat
ter; but it wants a strong united effort OF the people
IN susain the prosecutions and this cannot be had
under our present leless state. My only hope now
lis that the rumsellers will stir up commotion and
obliee the people to come cut and act .>-o,
