AwruL-TLe work Of Misrepresentation a ainst
the Temperance law is already commenced
spondent of the Connersville Telegraph,
writing from indianapolis. IN speaking Of the
passage Of this most glorious law, says:

Why, man, the day Of wrath is about to pass
away, and day of soberness is dawning upon
our State. What excites wrath more certainly
than intemperanceo and what stills the maddened
brain of the Infatuated drunkard more than tenn
perancee The Telegraph's correspondent either
had a wee drop in his brain, he Intentionally
misrepresented the law There is searching
of cellars until the occupant makes that cellar
cror shop The law authorizes the manufacture
and sale Of cider and native wines. Sec. 2 Is IN
the following language:
NO provision of this law shall be construed
to forbid the making of CIDER from apples, or
wine from grapes currants, other fruit, grown
or gathered in this State, BY the Manufacturer, or
the sale thereof by Aim-but such manufacturer
or other person on hi. behalf. shall not sell less
than three gallons atany one sale, or TO any per-
son; and all sold at any enc sale shall be taken
away at the same time. ANY other manufacture
or sale OF cider OF wine shall be deemed unlaw
ful, &C.
This is specially designed for the benefit of the
farmer. II enables him to make all the profit.
He alone can make it or sell it. No grocery
keeper merchant or other dealer buy it TO
sell again. The simple objectin requiring it sold
in the quantity named above, was TO prevent its
sales in small quantities by the doggeries. and
making it one half whisky This is the sole OBJ
ieet, and is all right. We advise the farmers to
prune up their orchards, for the cider trade will
hereafter be an important item in tl.eir receipts.
