Another View VI the case.

Tie Reading Gasete in speaking Of the
new au,i-license law says
II appears to lie, that the trainers Of all the
anti liquor laws yet projected, have omitted
one important provision, and that is, the
punishment Of the liquor drinkers as well as
the sellers. III is a crime and sin-as mo.
dern reiormers would force the world 10 be-
iieve-to sell liquor, on Sunday or any other
day, it is equally, if no, more, a crime, to
d,ink il. Indeed, reasoning by analogy, The
latter net alone should be considered crimi-
nal. Our laws 30 10, punish him whe sells
a pistol, a dagger, OF II dose Of poison, bur
ouiy the ~hssasSil who uses those weapons,
and the attful mu,deter who administers the
deadly potion. Suicide is a felony at com
mon law, OILY distinguished from other
~felonies BY the fact that The victim is beyond
the reach of punishment. But, liquor being
only a " slow poison"-as the teetotaieis teli
us-ibe suicides who go 10 their deaths by
It's me ans, are within reach OF the law, for a
time, at least. Lot us have stringent lave TO
puuirh run drinking; aud there will be
very little occasion for Acts 10 prohibit rum.

Important to Merchants,

The new anti license Law will affect mer.
chants very materially. 1t will entirely pro-
hibit the sales of liquor by any and all ol
them after their present license expire until
the first of October next, and then they car
onIy obtain license from court a! the cos. o!
Thirty dollars.
The proviso at the end of the fou,th sec.
ton is conclusive upon the point that they
can not obtain license this spring from the
County Treasurer. It was introduced in The
Senate. Merchants must therefore quit sell.
ing liquor after the frs, OF May. Beer and
ale houses are in the same fix, except that
they will no, even be able to obtain license
after the first OF October under the new law,
Oyster cellars and restaurants may be licensed
thus spring as before, but cannot sell liquor
under any conditions.

SCIENTIFIC LECTURES On last Saturday

lures and experiments from Messrs. Swift

incidentally upon spiritual rapping. The
subject of supernatural rapping was fully ok.

ought to satisfy every sound mind how sb-
surd it is 10 go past the natural in the search
for the supernatural. The rappins was as
we'll done as any spirits could have mana
gedit. and 10 The audience generally was as
mysterious as if il had come from the spiri
world. The lecturers gave pleasure, am u
ment and instruction 10 large audiences
and as gentlemen honestly and in,elligenily
explaining The laws o! mental and physica
science we commend their lectures 10 pub

whether we give an animal food containing

animal. Take, for example, a hunt, al
which we have An omnivorous animal, man,
riding on a graminivorous animal, a horse,
accompanied by a carniyorous animal, a

The other class of food serves a very i'm

an ordinary fire. The same producis-car-
bonic acid, water and ammoria-are evolved
from the mout tn of The furnace Of the body
and the mouth of common chimney. In
