The Liquor Question: Yesterday, the act to
suppress >tippling shops, and prohibit the sale of
intoxicating liquors in less quantities than a pint,
went into operation, or was SO designed.
A friend of ours, who has not yet signed the
temperance pledge, says that he yesterday entered
restaurant where he had often "whet his
whistle" and called for toddy, but was refused
by the proprietor, on the ground that the corpora
ton forbids the sale OF the drinks palatabie TO
his old customers. -
On the contrary, another friend informed US that
stepping into restaurant and tavern, he saw
several gentlemen connected with the city corpo-
ration taking their horns" as usual at the bar.
From these two circumstances should judge
that the law only went halfway into operation.

would imply, is the Scotch costume. Its novelty,

the usual number of spectators, who delight in
soldierly parades. The Hghlanders" will be
accompanied by bag-pipes performer, and at

qualifications are for the discharge of the duties

was composed Of gentlemen having the success
Of the schools at heart and who, without pc
cuniary fee orreward, expended much their time
In attending 10 those institutions and promoting
their usefulness. For this they deserve the

The Funeral of our deceased fellow-citizen
William p. Elliot, was advertised to take place
yesterday morning. The arrangement was TO re-
move the body TO ST. Peters church, where a
large number OF persons had assembled 10 witness
the solemn observances. They were, after having
waited beyond the hour appointed startled by the
announcement that Mr.. Elliot had revived, and
but few minutes sufficed for nearly all OF them
to reach the late residence OF the deceased, to
ascertain, for themselves, whether the report was
well-founded.
Meantime, the undertaken, with his hearse and
long array of hacks, was dismissed, and this
seemed to strengthen the truth of the rumor
II appeared that, as the coffin was about to be
closed, somebody suggested there was possibility
that life was not wholly extinct, as, apparently,
decomposition had not commenced, and the face
wore natural appearance.
-Several others conceded in the opinion, and i'm
agination with them soon ripened into strong prob
ability, if not fact II was, therefore, thought ad
visable to postpone the funeral until further notice
Two or three physicians were summoned in the
course Of the day, and we learn that they, after
inspecting the corpse, discovered that decomposi.
ition had actually commenced. ia
The body had been lying in a chamber, with the
windows hoisted, the cold air rushing in; and
besides, il was surrounded by ice. To those ar
rangements, though the death took place on Fri
day afternoon, may be attributed the preservation
fthe corpse. 1
The funeral will, we learn, take place this morn
ing.
