| A poet in the Prog Age warns certain parties
who go fishing at Pitchers Pond that they drink
something good deal more exciting than pond
water, which will eventually trip them up We
think ourselves that those fellows should be looked
after. They are all Chamberlain men, and like
Ensign Stebhns, are lin favor of the liquor law,

owing as the Age says, ito the depravity of the
human heart" rather than to extensive travel in
Bourbon County. The Democracy, who frequent
the retired and classic shores of Quantebacook are
liable to no such imputation. They practice ra-
tional and temperate use of all the bounteS of the
Creator, land not man afraid" These wise men
have long been pervaded by the light which has so
recently found its way into the columns of the Age
that 1.-THE beneficial use of stimulants as medicine
to recuperate and repair the SYSTEM" are very
great. But the Chamberlainites who wet their
lines and their Threats at the other place should be
looked after Where the Hichborn men fish has
not vet been discovered.
