the property OF the late Mr. Jas. Glaspel!
Such an opportunity israrely presented and
those wishing a home With extensive
grounds, outside OF the city limits, would do
well to avail themselves of this bar
gain.
Considerable excitement exists IL Dayen-
port to-day among the German citizens III
consequence Of an action having been
brought against the keeper Of a toggery for
I selling liquor, in which he was fined $500.
We trust that this is but the beginning, and
tia, they will be prosecuted until every one
oil these establishments be closed.
The many successive days OF warm wealth
er experienced Of late have infused activity
into the business OF digging cellars, a
branch which will b. pretty extensively pros
eeuted this spring in our city.
Ii consequence Of the disgraceful pro-
ceedings attending the liquor trial on last
Saturday, in which some of our German cit
izens could scarcely be restrained from
wreaking their vengeance on the prosecn-
ting witness, our City Council have seen
proper TO appoint police force IN virtue Of
similar disturbances. This is bat the be-
ginning OF the matter and we trust the end
will be, freedom from the thirty nine srog-
geries that vet pollute our city.
Property continues to change hands in
this vicinity and at pretty high rates. Yes
