\ correspondent from St. .Jolnsbury, wri-
ting to the Brattleboro Phoenix. saws The
amount of liquor sold the past year b. the
St. Johnsbnry Agency was nearly two-thirds
less than the year previous, owing to a rule
requiring every applicant to show a case
strictly within the allowance of the Statute
AS this statement would tend directly to
throw suspicion and call in question the in
tegrty. discretion and discrimination of the
former Agent in carrying cut the spirit of the
law in the sale of liquor. justice demands a
plain statement of facts in the case, with
which our community are familiar. The A.
mount of sales for the year previous TO the
past, for which the Agent received PAYMENT,
was ,3i-which was sold at such 4
profit as was supposed to cover all expenses
Of freight, selling, waste, &c, and nearly did
so. Consequently, the cost of the same could
not have been $500. This amount inrluded
all that was made use Of hv the Agent, who

extent both in and ou' OF the County. loinc
business with him, while. owing to the CEN
trail position of the place, at the head of the
rassumrsic Y. r., where business naturally
centres, the Agent was instructed to sell to
the inhabitants of other towns in near prox
unity, coming to do business, who could he
more conveniently accommodated, than in
their own towns

the Agent the past year, being less central.

thousand dollars less than road, between
the same termini only 100 miles long
Astonishing as this result may be it is ncv-
ertheless tue and every DAYS experience is
demonstrating it more and more clearly.
But there is another point of interest :
we sad III the fourth proposition that it was
saving t. the world of a vast amount of
time. Take for example the Little Miami
Railroad here were carried, during the
last year, over this road 322, ,421 passengers:
saving of one mile in length would be trhce
minutes ''s-Sr;:. Three minutes each to
W., 2,422 persons makes the aggregate of
1926 Eiinutcs or 1929 hours, or l.
Coz working days Of 10 hours each.
The time wasted to the passengers rum
nlnS this extra mile then would be equal
TO over tie years of 313 working DAYS
each and ilis irrespective Of the time lost
by the employees of the company. Now
81, 900 pc, annum is not too large an csti
mate to put on the time Of the merchants
and traders who form the bulk of those
that travel. Five working years are equiv
alent to $1,000. The loss Of time may there
fore be estimated at So, 900 per annu,n, which
Is equivalent to a capital of $685. 1888. This a.
mount added to the aggregate of 81 ) ,GG6 as
before, gives s279,9 or adding in fractions,
S29o,ooo rs the penalty for increasing the
length of Il road the distance of one sinrle
mile.
In view of such results as this, who shall
say it is only mile? That little only that
is unnecessary, takes from the wealth ofthc
world enough real capital to make ten
times its length Of that which is nccnss,rv |
and whch would be productive and useful.
1t Is waste of energy and means sinful in
the extreme, and which will unquestionably
open the door, at some future day, to sue
ccsstlll and economical competition.
