grog from their bar rooms, and neither Jew nor Gen
tile can get a single drop. Pretty hard for the
regulars but its advantages to that thriving village
are beyond calculation Last Sunday evening the hotels
were shrouded in darkness and on Monday the general
remark was, How quiet and orderly the streets were
yesterday and last night and what Is rather slngu-
sr for that place the change seems TO give genera
satisfaction.
PROGRESS OF PRoHIBI7IoS.--So far as we can learn,
since Jour return the Hquor-dealers in our vicinity
have shut up shop" We are informed that the
Tompkns House and Hotel closed their bars the
morning of the Fourth, and the Clinton House IN the
afternoon. No liquor now be had at these places,
and we have not seen q drunken man since Monday.
The good effects of Prohibition already beginning
TO be felt. Men OF the true metal Will see that the Ia"
is enforced hereabouts. Ithaca Templar, July Is.
MAISE LAW PRocEFDISGs-The first case OF VIOLA
ton OF the new Liquor Law in village was brought
before Justice Failing Monday morning. woman
arrested for being found in state OF lntoxcaton
in the street. On being placed on the stand ana ne
duired to teatify as to where she obtained the quor
he at first refused but on being told the consequence
of persisting in such refusal she hnay stated that
she obtained it board raft on the canal she was
fined $40, which she paid and was di7cnarsed., Her
statements connecting the captain OF the aft with the
affarwere so indefinite and uncertain that no proceed
ngs were instituted against him.
Anotl er case up in the afternoon of the same
day. man by the name of Robert W hite was nned
SIC for drunkenness in the streets.
The accounts from other parts OF the State show that
in many places the liquor trahc has ceased 10 exist
in others the law is entirely disregarded.
OPERATION or THT LrQUoR LAw.-We are glad
TO learn that the practical operations of the Maine
Law have so far been productive of good. In our
village as indeed is the case in all country places the
sale Of ouoIs has been relinquished, the low grog
peies have closed their bars and their frequeers ask
in vain for their accustomed beverage we fare
pleased to note this change and in SO far as the Name
Law does good, so far we can aud will uphold H. That
II hes dore good by closing the dens where vile COM
nounds were dealt out TO degraded beings, we are
ready to admit. That the old Law, properly admins
tered, would not have done the same we are not so
willing TO own
Tie new law brings with its good corresponding
evil Persons who rarely if ever use liquor in any
form and who probably would not have entered a
bsr-room TO obtain liquor three tunes year, nave
ike prudent men as they suppose taken the precau-
ton TO Law in q stock of several gallons. Such men,
il is TO be presumed, will use more liquor within the
next ninety days than in any former year OF their
lives. And this class is by 10 means insignificant Ia
point of numbers. Ii embraces large portion OF the
better class of citizens, aud even includes carson
League men in its ranks To such men the law will
probably work no great good: 49,,

lWaertown IN. " Journal
Mopp,Uu1T. MADISON Coin Mouisyile we
understand that liquor was cold on the Fourth we
do not learn that any has been sold snce. Al tne
present writing hear of but one place In the County
where lauor Is sold contrary to law. or course the
opuopents of the law said II could not be enforced for
if should not be enforced Yet in this County, tour
days after the law went into operation, there was Dut
one.iquor saloon open. his Information may NC VIC"
founded.
CAzEYov1A.-In this town the traffic is apparently
extinct 1t is so in other towns Yet II is fair to say
that the former dealers anticipate reopenng their bars
in few weeks as they are confident that the law Will
speedily be overthrow by the Judicial tribunals

the retail business is carried on, though the victims
are too cautious TO exhibit themselves IN the street,
