in st. Johnsbury, in fact the constable ofthat
town, called at the residence of fine ould
Irish gentleman, to ascertain if he had any
Intoxicating liquors on hand, more than sufi-
cicnt for his own personal uses. The head of
the family was unfortunately absent from
home, but the lady of the house received him
with great complaisauce and offered every IA
cility for proper search of the premises. -

constable that the lady kept one position in a
remarkable manner. On requesting her to
stand aside, good sized kog Of whiskcy was
found concealed in the folds of her dress vo-

use some time, but we believe this is the first
time that slaves have been introduced in con
nection with the hoops for toilet purposes
