o. The trouble about the Prohibitory
Law, in New York, seems to increase. The

Between the opinions of Mayor Woods

terrible havoc with the letter Of the act, and,

enough to prove nudity. In the meantime,
up to the date when its penal provisions

The Mayor has issued a manifesto to the
citizens, announcing that the rum trade will
be open and without restraint until the
fourth Of July next,and particularly requesting
them to putthe screws to their consciencps
and appetites, and obey the moral law within,
to the discontinue and shame of the anti liquor

suasion, coupled with the admission that he
has no legal power in the premises, will have
in the rowdycircles of the metropolis, remains

Intruder. Her husband came and addressed
the Austrian, but too eivilly: "What do you
want here! do not know you-you are not
bileted in my house, and the lady you are
insulting is my wife"
Without a word the Austrian drew his
sword and stabbed the husband to the heart.
Much excitement ensued. Some of the by.
