COnnscaitOn Of Liquor and Seizurg OF
lsnYer r u M 4 MT Rcl nerlY.


Last Tuesday night, Lieut.. Raymond, OF the
Eighty sixth New York regiment, OIL duty ut
the Centrl guardhouse, with squad OF the
provost guard, made II descent on the house OF
Pat Donnelly, No. 45l Psnnsy lyania avenue.
and, finding the shop open at that late hour,
Lieut.. Il. inquired II they had any liquor, and
was answered that there was none on the place;
but on searching tho house he found one barrel
nearly full and several dem johns and bottles
containing liquor, which ho properly empted
into tho CUTTERS.
A further search discovered two Government
tents, used as u roof for the house, and some
Government clothing, nearly new one drum,
several knapsacks, blankets, n navy revolver,
and horse. The horse Is marked apparently
with horse shoe, the brand forming something
ike the letter G. Tho parties In the house were
arrested by Lieut.. Hsymond and taken to the
guardhouse, and yea erday morning they were
tried by Justice Walter, who hned Mrs. Don.
nelly $40 for selling liquor without license, and
dismissed the parties.
We heartily endorse the following tribute
which the Star incidentally pays to \ worthy
ohicer, In alludng to this case:
'lieut. Raymond deserves tho thanks of the
community tor his unceasing eGlrts to break
up these haunts Of ini4uity. Ever since ne
became connected with the provost guard ne
has been endeavoring to prevent the spread u
crime by banishing from our midst gambling
hslls, rum shops, and other SINKS OF inquiry:
he Lat been successful to q great extent, and
all good citizens hope he may continue In the
good work"
