Mr.. EDITOR i am informed that some
of the lager beer saloons in our Borough
continue the practice of selling Intoxicating
drinks in violation of law 1t may be well
to inform such. that the intended prosccu-
ton at the last term of our court against
some of them, was only abandoned at the
SCif.I+atinr, of haf, I- onl
der positive promise THAI it should cease
for the future. 1t was also distinctly under
stood at the time, that for any subsequent
Violations Of the law, prosecution would be
instituted and carried to trial So that
there may be no surprise, l VIII now inform
them what is a violation of the law, viz
l. To furnish Intoxicating drink by gift
sale, or otherwise to a minors : that Is to
say, to any persons unde- q years Of age.
p To furnish Intoxicating drink, of any
kind, in like manner, TO habitual drunkaras,
or to persons when drunk.
3. To sell, trade on barter in any spirit

day Or for the keeper of any hot |, inn,

imprisonment at not less than ten or more

There are persons on the look out, who
are determined to prosecute every offence

taken and presented to the next court. Al

dence Is obtained they viii be called before
the neXtcourt. Store keepers are IN the same
position, and viii be proceeded against it the
evidence can be obtained After this warn
ing, those who find themselves in trouble,
either as defendants or witnesses must not
complain The public have right to correct,
If they can, an evil which threatens the we'll
being and happiness ofany member Of soci-
ety. \ man who will desecrate the Sabbath
day, by keeping his house open for drinking,
IS entitled TO neither respect nor cOnsidera-
ton and one who will furnish Intoxicating
drink to minor boys-to habitUal drunkards,
and TO persons when drunk, is only worthy
OF the scoTn and contempt Of every member
Of society. The penalties, for such, and
none too severe. The writer trusts that this
warning may save further trouble. He has
no disposition to annoy, or be the means of
imposing penalties on any one, but he is de
tcrmined the law IN this respect shall not be
violated with impUulty. >.
