TUESDAY, APRIL "a, 1866.
A Blow in the Right Quarter.

The friends Of Temperance are greatly
rejoiced at the prospect of speedy ad-
vance in the cause TO which they are de-
voted, right in the centre of folly, fash
ion and yice-.n New York city, the
COMMERCIAL metropolis, where men of
bad po titles an worse morals rule.
The New York legislature has enacted
a stringent license system, and has en-
trusted the whole management and exc
cution OF II in New York city to the
Metropolitan Board of Health, the
Health Commissioners being constituted
Board of Excise, who shall have the
exclusive power Of granting licences for
the sale Of liquors in quantities less
than five gallons at time. The licen-
SEES do not authorize selling liquors on
Sunday, or on election days within a
quarter Of q mile of the election. No
liquor is 10 be sold to any apprentice
without the consent of his master or
mistress, nor TO any person under eight
cen years OF age without the consent of
his father, mother or guardian. None
is to be sold to an habitual drunkard,
nor to an Intoxicated person; nor
against the request of any wife, hus-
band parent or child, to the husband of
any such wife, wife of such husband
parent of such child, or child of such
parent. Liquor shops are to be closed
between midnight and sunrise, and on
Sundays. No person who trusts an
other for liquors can compel payment at
law. Iltorioattoa is made a criminal Of
fence, subject to a fine OF $40 and costs.
Adequate fines and penalties are provid-
ed for all the specified offences, and the
act is drawn throughout with evident
care and thoroughness.
Should this new statute be thoroughly
and faithfully executed, it must produce
great and desirable results, and much
needed reforms The Board of Health has
power to close summarily any place
where the law is violated and to arrest
those who break the obligations of their
license.
The Board mad a meeting on Friday
and Unanimously voted that no license
shall be given for the sale of any ale,
beer, or spiritueus liquors in any gro
Gerry within the Metropolitan Police
District, excepting the County Of West
chester; but the Board does not pro-
hibit the sale Of liquors by the bottle,
to be taken from the premises.
By this action it is estimated that
four thousand ont of ten thousand drink
ing places in New York city and Brook
lyn will be closed. This is regarded
as good beginning, and hard blow to
professional thieving and various other
vices growing out of the rum traffic.
AS sanitary measure it is also deemed
most wise in view of the threatened
prevalence Of the cholera.

A SAD EvENT--A VBRMoNTER DRowNEr
IN FLoRIDA,-The following account Of
the death by drowning Of several persons
is taken from the Florida Union. pub
lished at Jacksonville, of the 9TH OF
April. Mr.. Sheldon, mentioned as one
of the party drowned, was Preston
Sheldon, brother Of DR.. L. and Charles
Sheldon of this town:
Our city was startled about ten
O'Clock on Wednesday evening last
by the rapidly spreading intelligence
that DR.. D. @. Amber was drowned.
Alas the news proved too true. We
have been able to learn that our highly
esteemed fellow-cItizen, DIR. Amber,
accompanied by Mr.. Sheldon, of Long
Island, N. Y, and two colored men were
returning to the city ia sail boat. after
having been on a trip up the river
while the steamer Sylvan Shore, Cant
Tucker, was going up. By one of those
singular fatalities of circumstances
which no speculation can explain. the
boat was run upon by the steamer.
which caused her to capsize, although.
as we learn, an effort had been made to
back water when she had been suddenly
deserted. Capt. Tucker, with that
promptness and humanity which distin-
guish him, at once put out boat to the
relief Of the party, when the body of
Or. Amber was found clinging to por
ton of plank, but lifeless, and one of
the colored men was rescued from the
water. Mr.. Sheldon and the other col
ored man were not seen after the catas-
trophe, and must have sunk instantane-
ously. Every effort was made on board
the Sylvan Shore to resuscitate the body
0. the doctor, but to no avail, while she
was returning to her wharf with the
body.
No event has occurred in this city

SURPRISING RIoT.-A recent riot at
Norfolk, Va, attending the celebration
of the passage of the Civil Rights bill,
was suppressed by the aid of the mill
tary, under command of Major Stanhope.
In the performance of this duty-a
somewhat perilous one, owing to the
very small number of troops at his COM
mand-he was insulted and menaced by
the mob of white citizens, who threat
ened to kill him, and one shot was fred
at him. At this juncture he made a
public declaration that IF be and his
men were further menaced he should be
forced, in selt-defence, to arm the blacks
to assist him in carrying out his or
ders.'' Es

MAYUFAcTUBTyG IN THE WEsT.-The
Chicago Republican says:
More than forty new factories, the
majority Of them, we believe, for the
production Of wooden goods, are to be
erected in Illinois this summer. The
capital employed in them will exceed
q million dollars, The benefit of these
new undertakings will be great to all
classes Of the community, but the in
terest which will be most profted by
them will be that of agriculture.
We commend the above paragraph to
the notice Of our Vermont friends.
Will Vermont farmers and wool-grow-
ers send their sons and daughters to
Illinois to find employment in wooden
factories, and to engage in other avoca-
tions, for which the extension of manu-
featuring out there creates demand,
or will they help create an inducement
for remaining at home, and thus promote
the growth Of our own population and
wealth ? Are they really anxious to see
their own State prosper, or are they con-
tented to jog along and see our popula-
ton running away?

Vsro or THR WATERFALL AND PLATTs-
BURGH RALRoAD.-GOv.F enton, ON FRI
day last, vetoed the Whitehall aud
Pittsburgh Railroad bill, The veto
was announced by telegraph in the HSR-
AID at the time, The bin requires the
State Treasurer, on due proof 10 the
Comptroller that the Whitehall and
Pittsburgh Railroad Company has built
ten miles of its road or more, to pay
$4,000 per mile therefore TO the Treas
urer Of the Company, and at the same
rate, from time to time, on the construc-
ton Of the residue of the road, not ex-
ceeding ninety miles in all.
The bill for the completion of the AL
bany and Susquehannah Railroad was
vetoed at the same time. The Governor
considers these bills equally meritorious,
but thinks the exisencies of the public
debt forbid their enactment into law
now. The action Of the Governor has
been respectfully received, except at
Keeseville, where he was burned in
effigy.
