CLOSED. Nearly every saloon in
the city was closed yesterday. We
understand there were one or two
exceptions in Lamaseo. A number
of saloon keepers say they would be
willing to close every Sunday, law or
no law, if the others would do the
same. Since it is impossible for the
old nippers" to get any beer on
Sunday, the demand for ale by the
box" sent to tie houses, has largely
increased.
One saloon was kept open, but moth
ing was sold except cider and hot cof-
fee. There was an occasional de-
mand for lager" but the proprietor
would only shake his head. and point
to huge card on the wall labeled
Sunday Law" and covered with
black Grape. No further explanation
was necessary.

Cor LoOsE.-A young man ban
tered Master Henry Wheeler, one Of
the Won Bomelswitzens," on Sat
urday, to let him tie him with rope,
and agreed, if he got loose. that he
would make him present of ten dol
lars. Having accepted the offer, ne
was tied up in such a manner that it
was not thought possible for him to
get loose. But he went to work with
a will, and after one hours hard la
Dor, stepped out of the ropes free.
He refused to take the money, but it
is understood that the loser will
settle the score (" for a supper for a
small party. These young Davenport
imitators are certainly no slouches !"

opened at s o'clock, and continues
for three quarters of an hour. This

THE CENsUs.-The Congress that
meets to-day will soon pass a bill or
ganizing a Census Bureau for the
census of 1870. When this is taken.
we will know exactly the population
of this city, and will be able to make
accurate comparison with New Al
bany, and other places that claim to
be as big as Evansville. 1t is proba-
BILE that the census committee will
recommend 20 Congress a provision
for the enumeration of the different
religious scots, which has never bcen
done heretofore.

STREET RAILwAY.-The track has

if the weather would only remain ia

the Main Street switch will be moved
further out that street. The terminus
of the extension for this season will
be at Chandler Street.

LIcENsE.-We have lately had sew.
eral parties arrested in this city for
selling liquor without a Government
license. The last case tried was that
of Frederick Schimt, whose attorney
put 10 the plea that as he had only sold
occasionally, and did notfollow liquor
selling as business. he was not liza
BILE under the law. We have just
come across the following decision OF
the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, sent to gentleman in Hender-
son, which fully covers this case. We
give it below:
Any person or company of per-
sons, who sell liquors " by the small,
In quantities less than five gallons at
picnics or other places, would be
clearly liable to, and should be re-
quired to pay the special tax of retail
liquor dealers, without reference to
whether the parties make q business
of selling liquors or not.
Retail Liquor Dealers mRy close up
their place OF business anu remove 20
booths at fairs, plcnics, etc., and there
vend liquors during the continuance of
said fair. picnic, etc., at retail and then
again remove to their regular place of
business without becoming liable to the
payment OF an additional special tax by
reason ofso doing; provided that such
removal be registered with the Assist

vided By Sec. IS of the Act Of June
Both, 1864, as amended.
