the morning and finding their back yards well covered
with demohns and bottles Of various sizes and shapes
containing all the varieties Of the delicious beverage sold
under the head Of Intoxicating drink by much per

may not conf0und the liquors. and credit them TO others
who sell inferior article the names q each Of the donors
are neatly inscribed the bottom Of tho packages We
do not vouch for the correctness Of this rumor but b
true who would not be Commissioner Seriously, how
ever, tho selections made are very good. They meet
general approval but fancy the Board wiz nnd ex
ceedngy difficult 10 steer clear Of censure. or course
much offence VIII be given to those whose applications for
license shall be rejected but If the Board discharge their
duty c.nsciencennosy, We have no doubt they will,
this viii not affect them.
