held at the Burnett House. The Cincinnati deal
ers are more spunky than the Clevelanders. They
resolved to sell on, and formed an association for
mutual aid and defense. At one of these meetings
the Mayor was present as a spectator. Doubtless
his presence gave courage to these conspirOtors
against the law.
In New York City the Mayor is decided and
energetic, in enforcing the Sunday liquor law and
and has succeeded in arousing nearly all the Sun
day selling liquor shops. The Post says
"Six thousand licenses are issued in this city
to liquor vendors. The Sunday previous to his
entering Office there were two thousand places open
where .:?nor was publicly sold. The Sunday aE-
ter his inauguration there were bit two hundred
and eighty open. On the Sunday following, that
is, Sunday before the last, the number fell to one
hundred and thirty. Last week the Mayor sent
the following notice to all whose violations had
come to his knowledge:
MAYORS OFFICE, New York, Jan. II, 1855.
Sir: The Sabbath must be respected and the
laws obeyed in this city. By selling liquor on that
nntice which was given to you by the police,
through my directions, you persist in keeping
open, or selling liquor with closed doors. 1t is
not my wish to adopt stringentmcnt measures in
your case, if it can be avoided, but it is my duty
to advise you that, if found open, or selling liquor
again upon sunday, L Sllll GeSOTl " every leSdI
means at my command to close your establishment
for the sale of liquor, not only upon that day, but
for every other day in the week.

men, in the County Jail for four months shall be
inflicted for the first offense; for the second, a fine
of $50 and six months i'm Imprisonment; and for the

atty of going to the House of Correction. No
action is to lie against any officer for selling and
destroying liquor, where the warrant is issued by

ccpt according to the law, are to be fined for the

the third.

TEMPERANCE IN INDIANA-The Brookville inner
lean saws that a few days ago, a committee of la
dies of Brookville waited on every liquor seller in
the place, with a petition to quit the business,
They say in their petition, that 'the business is in
direct opposition to the will of this community
that it is the ruiner of our husbands, sons, fathers
and brothers," and they therefore humbly pray
that it be stopped. For fear entreaties might not
be of any avail, they append the following:
SIR: We o NJ to you as weak and defenseless
women, but our wrongs and our injuries make our
weakness strength. and unless this our prayer be
heard, there is not a thing under High Heaven,
the world around, OUR WILL MASTERETH
NOT"
This petition is signed by ttco hundred any forty
eiqht ladies of Brookville, whose names are pub
lished in full by the american. With such q force
backing up such a determination, the liquor sellers
may find it for their advantage to quit.
The american also relates the following disgrace
full circumstance:
During the communion service in the Presby-
terrain church at Laurel, last Sunday week, as the
elders who were distributing the elements, ap-
preached a commitment, Curtis w. Smith arose
and forbade giving the wine to him. His mandate
being disrcgarded, he seized the cup rs it was
passing near him and dashed it and its contents
against the fioor.
