A new Act has been introduced into The
Rhode Island Assembly to supercede the
existing liquor law. 1t provides, in sub
stance, that cities and towns may grant
licenses for the sale of liquors in quantities
not less than one quart-the party licensed
giving bond that he will not allow any
such liquors to be drank en- the premises
where the same are sold-that he will not
sell to any person under the influence Of
Intoxicating drink-nor upon Sunday, or
on any week day after ten o'clock in the
evening-nor sell any liquors not pro-
nounced pure by commissioner appointed
for that purpose-nor give credit for any
liquor sold. Hotels not to be limited in
the quantity sold. Another act for the
suppression of ,ippling- shops was intoduc-
cd at the same time, which possesses pro-
visions similar to those of the Maine law
with regard to complaint of parties and
seizure.

low the vote stood 10 the strongest
DIVISION DISTRICTS.

This shows conclusively that the same
causes operated asains. Crawford in the
Division as in the An,i-Division districts,
So that where he had several hundred mai
last year, he is now 100 behind
But the idea that Mifilinburg supported
Mr.. Strouse for the sake of the repeal of
the Division law, is rich. 1t is supposed
that Mfiiinburg spent three times as much
time and money, for the County Seat, as
Lewisburg did. Now look at the vote in

Lewisburg chronicle. [volume] (Lewisburg, Pa.) 1850-1859, 1855-11-16

Mr.. Sirouse is a man OF unimpeachab!e
character, (earring poli,icaliy,) and we have
no doubt will discharge the duties dcvolvins
upon him in his official character, 10 the best
of his ability, and in accordance with the Will
of those he represents
And the Demokrat-previous to fsiiing
out with him about matter, the import
ance of which we doubt not has been
exaggerated by interested par:ies-bore
the following testimony:
.Mr. Strouse is a gentlemen who stands
high in the community where he is best known.
His moral character stands above suspicion.
He is well qualified 10 represent the people OF
our Representative district, and he is warm
friend and advocate of the great and fnndam-
entail principles advocated by Henry Clay. He
will faithfully and honestly represent the peo-
pie of our district. He is 4 farmer. but is well
acquainted with the affairs ofthe Government.
The defeat of Crawford, by this county,
can easily be accounted for without any
charge Of secret pledges by his opponent.
He is only in the large rnsjority-one Of
the Sc Mcmbers-who ,cere sent to Har-
risburg last year, and were not sent this.
In addition to the general unrcpulsrity of
the last Legislature, there woro especial
reasons operating to take from Crawford
the votes of Democrats, Of Cameronians,
of Americans, and of Temperance men
and that Wings and Anti Divisionis's &C.
nerally should oppose him, was almost a
matter of course
The votes Ct few Auti- Division Dist
ric,s are appealed to ne proofs of the rumor
against Mr.. Strouse Let US examine a
few of these returns, and compare them
with some Of the strong Division districts.

One body identified alderman name unknown
and many others more or less wounded, it
is hoped not fatally.
The scenes at the houses of worship SO
lately occupied by the two popular and
eloquent pastors, on the occasion of their
funeral services, were most impressive. A
gentleman who sat near MrTcasdale when
he was wounded exclaimed with his dying
breath, "Great God how terrible are thy
judgments !" and the unspeakable awe
with which the words were pronounced,
were still ringing in an auditors cars, and
would haunt his memory for life.
Monday the 5th lust, at the request Of
the Mayor Of st. Louis, was observed as
day of cessation from labor and public
worship in view of the great calamity.
The Directors of the Railroad appointed
a Commission Of Ten to investigate the
cause of the disaster Mr. O'Sullivan, by
whom the bridges were constructed, stood
at the post of danger on the engine, conf
dent of the safety of the work, but was
among the first who were killed.

since fallen away, said to have been
undermined by foods.

tied by the Rev. G. II. Pond, of Oak Grove,
that were raised from the seed. Mr. Pond
wrote to Mr.. Stevens, the President of the

apple seeds in his garden and these We're
the first fruit. The most favored portions of
Illinois could not have produced better spcci-
mems.
Charles Hoag, Esq, of Minneapolis, had
potatoes on the ground at the Fair that were
raised from the second crop this year. They
were full grown, of large size, and looked
about right in every particular. Mr.. Hoag
had also on the ground the pure King Philip
