that such men are frequently benevolent, free,
Open-hearted, noble men, naturally; but be-
hind their counters, engaged in their traffic,
they are necessarily monsters; and all the

assist in lifting them away from their present
position, and placing them in front Of their
counters, where their moral faculties may
have full play, and they may become the men
which the God Of nature intended them to be.
At this late day everybody knows and ae-
knOwledges that liquor-drinking isinjurious,
and liquor-selling is necessarily deleterious
to society; therefore, every liquor-vendor
''sins against light and knowledge;" he knows
that the legitimate fruits Of his traffic are
moral and physical disease and death. He
knows that his traffic can not exist without
taking from all its supporters their money,

NEW FIRE ENGINE. - The steam fire en-

Fire Department Of the city, was yeaterday
exhibited in front of the Post-oflice and at
tracted great attention by its beauty and
lightness. 1t was built by the Portland Com
pany under the johnson patent, and is one of
the handsomest machines in service. Although
small and light it is very powerful, and will
do effective service at fires. There is no need
of going out of the city for fire engines when
such good ones can be turned out here.
The Casco is to be placed in the house near
Aunjoy, and the Cumberland in the house on
