like hoops on q barrel, hanging their
heads as If conscious OF their forlorn con-
dition, waiting for owners spending their
time within. All hours Of the day found
these poor half.starved, "tiugboned aad
spavin'd" animals awaiting for those less
human to get drunk enough to start for
home. But now they had disappeared,
and so had their owners-and in passing
through the same streets, quite different
class Of animals nay be seen. The grog-
shop horses had gone, and in their place
were those that told as plainly as did the
improved moral condition Of everything
around, that the Maine Law was in force,
and the groggeries closed up.
The same may be said Of this city. In
those parts noted in the annals of rum,
horses that looked as if "spoken for by
crows" with harness that might have been
made when the trade was first discovered,
and wagons to match, were on daily exhi-
bition, while the owners Of their establish
men.s we're lounging about, drinking up
the proceeds of the little raised upon some
"poverty struck" plot Of ground in the
neighborhood of the city. But now, as in
the places named, these establishments
have disappeared. The Carcass" is gone,
and there is nothing to call those emblems
of the gros shop together. As men be-
como sober, horses, harness, wagon, house
and land-all partake in the change.
What was good enough for drunkard,
will not answer for sober man. If horses
could speak, we do not believe that any
stronger advocates Of the Maine Law could
be found than tue horses in our State, who
have felt the abuse and crueties Of intem-
perate and thriftless owners.-NeW Haren

Death of a Patriot,

The Charleston papers Of Feb. Is; 1855,
announce the death of Col. FRANCIS KIN.
LocH HUGER, ir the cighty-second year Of
his age. Col. Huger was the son Of Col.
Benjamin Huger, Of the Revolution, who
was killed before the lines Of Charleston,
and was the pupil of the celebrated DR..
John Hunter, and fellow student OF Dr..
Physick of Philadelphia. When young
man, and fully inspired with the ardor Of
American republicahism, he joined DR..
Eric Bollman of Philadelphia, in his at
tempt to liberate Lafayette from the dun
gecns of Olmuts an enterprise which led
to the long incarceration Of the young pat
riots. The first landing of the Marquis
De Lafayette on American soil was on the
plantation of the father of Col. f. X. HU-
GER, in l777. The attempt Of the young
Huger and Bollman to rescue Lafayette
was, therefore, noble recognition Of he
reditary and paternal hospitality. On bis
liberation and return to his native lane, he
was appointed a Captain in the U. S.
Army of 1898. He resigned and retired
soon afterwards; but on the breaking o1t
of the war Of 1872, was recalled ngain
from his beloved retirement and appointed
to office, and soon received the command
Of regiment of artillery attached to the
Southern Division. Col. Huger served his
native State in both branches Of the Legis-
lature, and was always ready to serve her
in any capacity, civil or military.
