From the Louisville Courier
A udicrous, but still . painful and EN-.
barrasssug incident occurred 10 aE scauaint-
ance Of ours during the week Of The Shelby
county fair. Our friend, who is . gallant
young widower, was visiting house in the
country, which u that time, among its 9th.
or tenants. contained three beautiful and
accomplished young ladies. 1t is supposed
by the knowing ones that one Of these
young ladies' was the principal fair which
attracted cur friend to Shelby county. Be
that as it may, he went to stay the week
out, and was duly supplied with raimsnt
suitable for the occasion.
On his arrival he was shown 10 his room.
where BIO Immediately commenced getting
himself up for dinner. Taking from his W.
Use . glossy broaccloth coat. nc hung it up
by an open window in order to let the
wrinkles in It get somewhat smoothed out
before dinner. When that important event
arrived. our hero, hurriedly putting on his
coat, repaired to the paflor, and from thence
accompanied the ladies to the dining room.
lie had barely seated himself before be %,
,nshed the company BY a loud ejaculation

lie kept on calculating. writing. and
Shaping vigorously for short time. when
he suddenly jumped to his feet, nearly up.

stripping himself Of his coat and vest. The
ladies' became very much frightened a. his
frantic movements. and beat hasty re.
treat. They thought he had become sud
deny crazy, and was going 10 strip himself
naked in his insane spasm. So they flew
to the parlor and barricaded the door.
In the meantime on. friend had discov.
cred the cause Of his fright. Several enor.
nous hornets bad crawled into his coat
sleeves, while that garment was hanging at
TIE window. and, not liking their confined
position, they had commenced pcrcinc
away At him as soon as be sat down. The
painful stabs, coming in sucn quick success
SION and so unsccountahly, filed the mind
Of the victim with terror. lie thought Of
viners. centipedes, and tarantulas, and who

The sunday Liouor Trnnic.

In the recent discussion between Mayor
MoMichael and Committee of Councils, CON
cerning the suppression Of the liquor traffic on
Sundays, the Mayor while acknowledging the
evil complained of, pleaded the want of legal
authority to use the police force of the city for
that purpose. similar reply had been made
by his predecessor to similar application on
the part of body of citizens.
We suppose that the new law, which we
published few days since, furnishes the
desired legal authority to the fullest extent
for the suppression of the Sunday liquor
traffic; and in common with the great mass of
our citizens who wish to see Sunday redeemed
from the disorder and disgrace attendant upon
the sale of ardent spirits upon that day, we
hope to see the law properly and thoroughly
enforced. And we would suggest to those
liquor dealers who do not wish to array them
selves before the community as aw-breakers
and enemies of social order that they volun-
tarily comply with the requirements of the
law, and close their establishments on Sunday.
While there are grave differences of opinion
among good citizens as to the best methods of
dealing with the acknowledged evils growing
out of intemperance, there is no doubt a
general tendency Of opinion in favor of a more
strict and careful regulation of the business
of vending ardent spirits. Experience proves
that it will not do to throw open the doors to
unrestricted traffic in these articles. Regula-
tions of some kind are found absolutely neces-
sary. The community generally are not
prepared to sanction total prohibition,
although many excellent men advocate it;
but they do demand that, by rigid enforcement
of our license laws, the evils of the traffic shall
be diminished as far as possible. The Mayor,
therefore, in using the police force of the city,
in accordance with the law, to suppress the
Sunday liquor traffic, will be supported by the
moral sense of the entire community. The
special evils of the Sunday liquor traffic, in
cOrrupting the morals of our youth, in con-
suming the weekly earnings of many of the
laboring classes, to the deprivation of thefr
families of the necessares of life, and in pro-
noting general disorder, are too well known
and keenly felt to need expatiating upon here.
The evils are acknowledged the remedy has
hitherto been wanting. The law now provides
it, and it only remains for the officers of the
law to do their duty, when we shall witness a
vast improvement, one that will be extremely
grateful to every good citizen.
