plain bitterly of the alleged fact that the
Assistant Assessor in that sub-District in
structed them to go ahead with their distil-

they are liable to punishment and forfeiture
of their stills, fixtures, &c. If they received

TRg PoEr LoNGFELLow's MtsrAKE.-The
author of Evangeline relates in elegant metre
that on q certain evening an enterprising
youth was observed climbing a mountain
(probably one Of the Sierra Nevada range),
bearing in his hand something which had the
appearance of banner, inscribed with the
word Excelsior. As ''the shades of night
were falling FAST" and the weather was some
what misty, il was, of course, easy enough
for the spectator to be mistaken as to the
character Of the article borne by the traveller,
and the nature Of the inscription. There is
now sufficient reason to believe that this was
the case ; for at the time when this individual
was seen, corps Of active young fellows,
Numbering in ali some two hundred, were en-
gagged in planting in the most elevated and
conspicuous positions all over the country,
