LIQUOR SELLING, AND LIQUOR SELLERS
AT FUNSTON.

Tn n late article on liquor selling and liquor sellers at
Rumston we took occasion to look the pecuniary
di,ion of Rumson as affected By the business Of liquor
selling The public treasury of that respectable commit
nity is replensLed by the of forty dollars annually
from the four taverns there licensed while indirectly
takes out large for the support OF paupers and
the prosecution the crimes produced By it. In addi-
ton indirectly affects the community in the sum OF
several thousand dollars by disabling and destroying able
workmen and disarrengng the plans of their employers
We wish take up the thread Of our discourse Oh liquor
selling and liquor sellers in Rumson.
We have taken the pecuniary view, and now wish TO
look at certain effects produced sensitive relations
than those which merely pecunary-we mean the So
cia relations of Rumston. The community contains an
ordinary share Of good people and an examination would
prove that men, women and children in the town have
feelings very much like those in other parts of the world
They feel badly when they bury their friends and reve
over them when they bring disgrace Themselves. In
fact we have seen quite number Of proofs that these
points the people quite sensitive We have seen some
bitter tears and heard some agonzng cries the old grave

here remark the terrible witnessed IN

we were lowering the boaed rotten, offensive wrecks OF

he been temperate and economical his wages would have

hearted fellow and with right moral character, would

LAUNCH.


The new steamship improved model formerly
known the William Norris and which heralded as
certain to make the pass hence to Europe in six days,
launched yesterday from the shpyard of j. w. Grit

for combining strength with speed,-two hundred and
twenty feet keel by hrtysevcn feet BEAM sixteen feet

better at launch. Though public announcement had
been male il privately understood that she would be
launched at six last evening; and it very few
minutes after that when she started her ways moved
gently down into her predestned element and glided ike
almost to the City wharves just above the
Novelty Works where che taken hold of by tug
boat and brought into dock. Several hundreds had coll
eced to witness the spectacle and their accamatons
attested the beauty Of the launch.
The Of this ship has not been settled nor is her
destination certain though the original design of running
her from this City to Galway Ireland via St. Johns, New
foundland may be contaminated by her present
or perhaps by company organized to purchase her
for that purpose When fitted with her engines, there
must be speed in her.

satisfaction TO the rest.
Since my connection with the City Government, have
been brought into more direct communication with thc
poor Of Ward and have learned by such
that most Of the misery and restitution there is directiv
attributable TO the liquor traffic.
Under these circumstances and feeling the great

Our Boston streets are mute to-day,
Though tens OF thousands ,hrong the way

No sound except the death-bcll's toll,
The tramp Of soldiers and the roll

Amid the square OF serried spears
How hcaves the multitude
They scatter flowers beneath his feet
Curse and greans his cap:ors greet
Is THIS a man of blood
Oh, worse than all his skin is dark.

A whittier heart than yours to-day
That bosom beats within I!
