An Encouraging sign.

I, is often said that Office holders and pol.
i,icians XII drink. and that supposed fact
has no, unfreqneaily been used BY weak
minded persons IS an excuse for their own
indulgence. "All great men drink say
they. aud they guzzle down their todds with
the very silly satisfaction Of having aped
greatness. But all, or even the major part.
of truly great men DO not drink. although
politicians frequently do. But we now have
the pleasure Of recording an occurrence Un-
precedented in the history of our State or
perhaps thai Of any other State. 1t Is The
strongest possible evidence Of the rapid ad-

GAME LAws.-It is very evident that there
are many OF our citizens who are either ut,
terly regardless or else ignorant Of the law
IN regard to killing game at this season OF
the year. The law states that it " shall be
unlawful for any person, except on his own
premises, TO kill, ensnare or trap any wild
deer, elk or iawn, wild turkey. prairie hen or
chicken, grouse or quail, between the first
day Of January and the 18th day Of August
in each and every year." The penalty Of
the law is very severe, and impo ed as well
upon those having game in their possession
as the one killing it, Officers OF the law in
other towns are doing their duty in this
matter, and we have the assurance OF our own
officials that il shall be 10 here.--Ks2istw.
