to keep mp with his friend from Johnston in
his eccentric orbit 1t was true this is ,
free country, hut he thanked God it was
christian country, and while according t

to do away with that sacred day.

bill savored of severity. $50 was too severe.
is maxim that the severity of law prt
vents its execution. Under this bill, as
understood it, man would be preyente
from earring his gun even to protect hi
property.
Mr.. STILLEr said that in his county pos
people were obliged TO catch behring's whe
they came mp. and If il was on the Sabbat
they should not be prohibited from takin
enough fish in few beurs to last them
