Question.-Would the confinement of
q man in the cell Of our jail this warm
weather, who was inthe habit Ofdrink-
ing to excess, depriving him of all ar
dent spirits, have the effect of produc-

drunkard and stops his supply of ar
dent spirits suddenly he would belike-
ly to have the disease anywhere. The
confinement might have some fnau-

Radical politicians, members of Chris-

which VIC cin prove, and which we
defy any one to disprove, and make
our argument upon them and then sub
NIT the case to the people who will de-
eide upon il at the October elections.
