The city marshal Il Lewiston reports that

nine warrants for the search and seizure of
Intoxicating liquors, in which such liquors

under the section of the Liquor Law against
single sales, in which the guilty parties were
brought to punishment. Besides these prose
cutions, all OF which were instituted in the

SENSIBLE IDEA.-BOston is full of no.
tons; most of them are very good-some are
pretty good and a few are good for nothing
The last one is proposition to change May
day to June-day, which strikes us as belong
ing to the Every good" class of the Hubs no.
tons. The only objection Of much force is
that it will break in upon an old fashion,
which has been immemorially observed; but
as set-off to that, there will be fewer colds
fevers and doctors prescriptions, and all the
long string Of melancholy accompaniments.-
1t makes us SILVER to think what we have gone
through in our earlier days to follow the
fashion. iSSV W
Now we have remedy for tomorrow, for
which all of us who are fathers or mothers, or
grandfolks, may be profoundly thankful.

mean will prove themselves worthy SANITARY
Physicians" (perhaps that's what they do mean)
if they fill Mechanics Hall with our young
people tomorrow afternoon, and thus induce
them to try the "May Flower" within doors
rather than hunt for it over the yet barren
fields of Cumberland County. Why the
sight of this beautiful spectacle-the singing
and dancing fairies, fitting about among the
flowers like humming birds-will be worth
twenty May-day tramps in our climate.
we think we do neighborly thing to our
readers VINO are parents, by suggesting that
they make bargain with their little ones
that II they will yield the early trip into the
country, they shall visit the fairy spectacle of
the May Flower" in the afternoon. We hap
pen 10 knoW some who are going to do that
very thing. Financially Speaking. it will be
an injury 10 the medical profession, who usu-
any ma harvest day for their pills after the
May-day flowers have been taken; but they
have too great regard to the public good to OBJ
ject, even though our suggestion may invade
the interests of their pockets.

The more we have investigated the merits

disturbances and importance to the section Of

quainted with the country through which il
passes, and the business it will inevitably com
mand, make a standing offer, as they have
done, to lease the road permanently, thorough
~ equip and keep it in good repair, and pay
