and the only only one we can long liz by ;

estimate we can make, more than 5000
are sent off for the Nee York Tnsune

while the home printers are left, eve by
the very me often, who thus send off their
cash, to whistle for their pay! Who's It

The case of the state against Patick
and Catherine Dillon has occupied tome
time Of the County Court, now in session
at st. Adams. The charge was for selling
liquor contrary to law. The jury found
each of them guilty Of two offences, thus
damaging the trade forty dollars and costs.
The examination Of some Of the witnesses
was very curious. They could remenber
having obtained liquor of the defendants,
but could not swear to more than olk or
two occasions they "might have bought it
often, but really could not swear" One
fellow said he "had bought, mayhap. a
dozen times-not positive also store
that got il wanst or twicet week or fort
night for about eight months" Madam
Dillon has given the officers Of the law
good deal Of trouble, now and then, and
has probably sold rum enough to float the
Collins line of steamships. Her rumshop
has long been disgrace 20 st. Adams, and
profitable business for her.-SL .dbdns
