an intention to contest the election

be looked, upon as out Of place in
these intellectual times, to warn peo-
pie against the growing vice Of beer
drinking. With an increase Of Gust

of hops, there must be strange drugs
introduced into ale and beer. The
fuddling properties Of Coculus Indicus

gely into the composition Of some Of
these beverages. The effect is to
stupefy the individual, destroy his ap'

the habit Of beer-drinking is confirm

all causes but the right one. Let the
