As soon as Ezekiel closed Mr.. Doty
broke out, at the same time Struggling

"Well, | should think that was music
enough on this OCCASION"
"Yes," said Donaldson, "that will an.
swer until we get the Maine law-then
we will give you another tune"
Mr.. Doty arose and said, III have at
tempted to speak two or three times,
aud have been disturbed every time"
Not halfso bad as you disturbed Mr..
Wilkins's family when You turned them
out Of doors, said Donaldson, whose sal
y was followed by roar OF laughter
from the crowd.

ty. will sell out, and leave the place.
You could have gone before, II you
had only mentioned IL, said some one In
the room.
II you refuse to grant licenses, hope
you will remember there will be no rev.
enue to support the poor, exclaimed
Doty,
should think you had better look az
ter the poor paupers yoa have made, said
some one In squealing voice.
0rderl cried the supervisor, stamping
his foot upon the floor.
Father Doty feeling hlmselfvory much
injured, took his hat and cane, and, with
several violent twitches Of his hand,
made his way out Of the room, and went
home. As there were no others TO
make remarks, the board was left alone.
Mr.. Blakely took up the cases one by
one. OF the magistrates, Messrs. Rog-
ers aud Henderson voted for license, and
Messrs. Hayes, and Burton against. =
This placed Mr.. Blakely In very un-
pleasant situation. He had always
through life avoided committing him
self on any question and every emergen-
gency. He saw the dreadful dilemma
no was In, and would have given his
farm to be relieved. He pleaded with
them 10 reconsider the matter, and so
vote as to settle tho question among
themselves, without involving him In the
difficulty. He thought OF being nomina-
tted next year Tor the assembly, and n
he voted against licenses, he would lose
the liquor influence; and IL he voted In
favor Of granting them, he would GER
tainly lose the influence and favor OF
temperance men; and he felt he had nc
political capital to spare. He appealed
to their sympathies used all the argu.
ments no could command to induce
them to divide up and make majority
one way or the other. To him, he said
il was immateria. how they decided II, i
they would not compel him to commi
himself. lie exhorted them with tears
but they relented not. Being compelled
10 give the casting vote, he gave I
against licenses, because he thought, IN
Wow oil the rapidly growing sentimen
for the Maine Ldio, he would thus LOSE
less political capital.
The board adjourned, and tho part es
soon dispersed for home, as II was thel
late In the afternoon.

Of tho Jews In that country ~ most Ia
mentable; and there is abundant evil
dence that these people are suffering
great distress from destitution. Their
sunerlnga have been occasioned partly
by the failure Of the last harvest, which
has raised the price Of food TO an enor-

diminution Of the resources for the

countries. Sir Moses MonteGore, an

An EDIroR on BEAgD.-Editors are telling
their experience; so here is ours. Four
years we have worn a stout, handsome
beard, of fancy color, cross between Lon
don brown and the shade of Malta kitten,
shaving only the upper lip We began this
course, in the first place because we were
too lazy to shave. Last summer we wanted
TO look at our countcnance, and so we had
our facial hair removed, and got the bron-
chitis in place o. it, The beard was more
comfortable than sore throat, and so we
took il back. We believe in a beard MS an
arrangement Of nature, necessary for the
hcalth--and nature is not improved upon.
