The Free Press still avoids the main question.
All laws on the statute book should be enforced,
and whatever officer, whose sworn duty It is to
enforce them. cannot shrink from doing 50
without neglecting his duty and pegurying
himself But 1t IS the heighth Of nonsense to
argue that man wiH not enforce law who
does not perceive the vision of it'-Daily
Times.
We are not aware Of avoiding any ques-
ton. But the Times has failed to show the pro
priety of selecting to execute the law, man
who is opposed to the law and prefers
another system. That an officer can, in
some particular instances, enforce law he
docs not approve is no argument for such a sell
ection. His opposition to the law certainly
cannot help him inthe discharge Of hIs duties.
The proper way Is to choose a man who be
leyes in the law he represents. and such has
been found TO he the only safe way.

THE. LIQUOR AGENCY.

-Hessrs. Editors;
The Selectmen of the Town have in thsir
printed report as to the Liquor Agency, doue
me great injustice; and as the report has been
publicly distributed, l beg leave to avail myself
of the only means at hand Of correcting the
false impression likely to be induced thereby.
lst. As to raising the price Of liquors. In
1862, with the concurrence Of the Selectmen,
the price Of rum, whiskey and alcohol was fixed
at point 100 per cent (very nearly in ad-
vance Of cost; and sales in that way have been
since made until in December, when the cost Of
these liquors had advanced to sum greater
than the price at which had been selling
Then I advanced the price, to about so per
cent on the new cost, (instead Of carrying it uI
to 100 per cent. as it had been befOre) in Orde,
not to sell At an absolute loss
Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1864-03-04

The Selectmen did not instruct me not to raise
the price on those liquors, but one of them did
say that he thought it had better not be done
till after Jan lst.
| soon afterwards informed the Selectmen
what had done and how I was selling, and
they made no objection to it whatever nor did |
suppose that any one else could make any, in
asmuch as the new price was indispensable to
save the office from great loss
2nd As to the charge Of purchasing liquors
in violation of law. If purchasing liquors in
circumstances in which the tOJrH is not liable to
pay Tor them (which is the complaint in this re-
porD Is violation Of law, then have as | IN
derstand il been violating the law ever since
was agent for before this new law, could not
bind the town for my purchases without giving
bonds. Sc.. which has never been done All the
change which the new law maaes in effect is to
relieve the town from liability for purchases
made by the agent in sreTg case, instead, as
before making the town liable if bond has
been given. In this case therefore the new law
has not changed the matter at all for the Town
could not be bound for my old purchases and,
as the Sslectmen truly say in the Report, it is
not liable for the new purchases.
The new law It is true. imposes the duty on
the Selectmen Of purchasing liquors and fixing
the price thereof but this the Selectmen have
refused 10 DO. and was therefore obliged in or
der TO furnish liquors for the purposes contem-
plated by the laws. to purchase a small quantity

Eor no, more glad than Childhooi's brow
va. the gay heaven that laughed above him.
olI Tine came hobbling in his wrath,
And that green valleys calm invaded;
The brooks grew dry beneath his path,
The birds were mute, the lilies faded
Grecian tomb stood full in in sight,
And that Old Time began TO batter,
BIT Childhood watched his paper kite,
Nor needed he one whit the matter
With curling lip and eye askance,
Guilt raEed upon the scene minute,
But Childhocd's arcbly simple glance
Had such a holy spell within it.
Ths, the dark demon to the air
again spread forth its bafHed pinion,
and hid his envy and despair,
Selftortured, IN his own dominion.
Then stepped a gloomy phantom up,
Pale cvpress-croWned nights wOeful daugh-

Fuu To the brim with bitter water

And WOO d him with the softest numbers

Upon youthful poets slumbers.

Then Wisdom stole his bat and bell
And taught him with most sage endeavor
Hhv bubbles rise and acorns fall,
And why no joy may last forever,
She talked Of all the Wonderous laws
Which Natures open book discloses.
But Childhood, when she made pause,
Was fast asleep among the roses.
Sleep on, sleep on, Pale msnhood's dreams
Are all Of earthly pain OF pleasure,
Of glory's toll, ambition schemes,
OF cherished love or boarded treasure;
But to the couch where Childhood lies.
A pure unmingled trance is given,
Lit Up hy light from seraph eyes,
And gimpses Of remembered heaven.

Thrilling SCENE On vHE IcE.-The st.

Monday afternoon. about two clock an ex-
citing -crne was witnessed BY thousands who
were gathered upon the levee. The landing
was lined with throngs of people, congregated
IN nexpectatiou Of the Immediate breaking up Of
The ice IN the harbor Presdently was heard

b1at moored at the upper end of the leveo.
], va a hong and loud scream, and before
st. unearthly echoes had died away the sound
vas taken up by boat far up on the other
SIDE Then all along the landing steampipes
ioined in the harsh and unmel0dious chorus.
The multitude passed closer THE ice is
moving Look Look - many voices scar
osly more than whispered. And so it wGs
Eoying, very slowly, and with a dull, graf
ing noise.
Out on the river, midway between either
shore. was, at this perllous jjuncture, deserted
the form of a woman, the only being there
was tc Be seen On the ice. She had stopped
picking her adventurous way, and stood mo-
tionless, except as the cold floor bore her gen
tlv on All ewes were bent earnestly and anx-
i0usly upon her, and the crowd watched with
almost breathless interest. ''Go back 20
hack =" was shouted from hundreds ofthroats
seemingly UNDECIDED, from the fact that at
that distance the advice could not be heard.
The woman was leckoned to with hands and
handkerchiefs, but without response Of any
kind Once she WAS seen TO raise her hands
as if in despair, and moment after she sunk
% her waist The pityine silence on shore
that followed the scene was quickly succeed
ed BY loud shouts and clappinC of hands as
the trembling female scrambled again TO her
feet, only to look wistfuly around. but rot
70 take another step. By this time the ice
had ceased to move, and the spectators began
to experience a sense of relief. Still the wo-
man stood as though transfxed, her cloth
ing hanging loosely around her. and she pro-
hably shivering from the cold her immersion
must have produced.
Just as the woman had gone down, three
men were observed to start from the other
SIDE. One of them. after going short dis
lance. turned back. The others made straight
for the long object, and on a run. 1t was
veuturesome undertaking. They had got
half way when the woman fell again, and
this time 1t was longer before she presented
herself TO a full view her body having almost
entirely DISAPPEARED Yet once more she
stood erect. not daring to take a step in any
direction. At last the two men got near her.
They hesitated, and were seen to motion her
to them, but she seemed completely paralyz
ed from fear, and daring do nothing. \
moment after one Of the men sprung to her
side, and then woman and men both went
down. When the eyes that involuntarlly
turned away to avoid witnessing painful
sight looked again, the woman was on the
solid ice, and the two men were on either
side of her, supporting the drenched form,
and hurrying her to the Illinois shore. 1t
was not till the trio reached the dry land
that the multitude gave vent TO their Joy in
loud huIzas.

appointed as committee to procure sigma
