In another column Of to-days paper will
be found an act Of Assembly regulating the
sale of spirtuous liquors which was passed
at the last session of the Legislature. The
law is quite stringent enough. 1t affords
adequate protection against the abuse Of
the traffic, while it gives 10 those who like
to take an occasional drink every opportu-

fellow creatures, besides securing their

a good chance Of showing it. They did

OF this new one, which, though it bears a

advantage OF being fresh from the mint.
We never had much confidence in them
and doubt il they will take much trouble
