THEM LAMps.-Mr. Murray, of the
sOverland,' recently had manufactured
good sized lamp, to be hung in front of
the hotel to afford travellers and pedes-
trians light in navigating the streets
thereabouts these dark nights. The
lamp is six feet in hight and two feet
wide at the bulge, and when painted and
the glass put in ready for use, will be a
huge affair It was manufactured by O.
z. Tompkins & Co., and of course is we'll
got up. Messrs. Hauck g. Myer, of the
new hotel directly opposite the "Over-
land" we understand, have given orders
to the same firm to manufacture lamp
at least one-t third larger than Murray's,
and when the twoare lighted upo' nights
people in hatvicinity viii have no trouble
in navigating the streets, no matter how
dark it is. Bully for the lamps.

The SWEDISH LICENSE SYsTEM.--ln
Sweden the licensing of dram-shops is
controlled in this way The public house
licenses for the sale of liquors are put up
at auction, and are sold for cash to the
highest bidder, thus becoming consid-
erable source of revenue to the commu-
nifty.
The hours of closing are fixed and
strictly adhered to. No liquor may be
sold to child or drunkard, and money
cannot be recovered for liquor sold on
credit. The bars provide warm food, tea
and coffee, and these to certain extent
supplant intoxicating drinks.
This plan has been in operation for
some years in different parts of Sweden,
with the following results: Twenty-Five
years ago the annual consumption OF
home made brandy in Sweden was 25,-
600, 900 gallons now it is not more than
100000 The purchases of licenses
by companies began in Gottenburg In
1854, and in 1867 the Company had Sc
cured all the licenses in the city, With en-
tire control of the retail sales. Figures
show the result in 1865, according to
the police reports, 2,07S persons were
fined for drunkenness in 1865, .423
in 1867, 1875; and in 1868, l,S12.
The cases of delirium tremens in the
hospitals have diminished in proportion,
and in this seaport of 10000 inhabitants
cases Of intoxication are now rarely seen
in the streets. ssss

All my resolution losing,
Say, what matters in your musing,

But would give his life to please you,
Yet you say that lovers tease you!

One by one, to their undoing,
Fools in plenty come a-wooing,
Baffied still, but still pursuing,
Tangled in the snare;
In your ever-changing smile hid,
- Or beneath your sleeping eyelid,
Many a heart it hath beguiled,

While the summer breezes fan her
Gently with their leafy banner.
Venus form and Diana's manner,

Lives the man who can discover
Any secret spell to move her

Cold as fair?
But to see those dark eyes brighten,
And for me with kindness tighten,
While the cheeks rich colors heighten,

To improve their scornful splendor
With the love-light soft and tender,
Bow the proud heart to surrender,

By the loves that thou hast broken,
By the words that have spoken,
By the passion they betoken,
I have loved, swear.
Only thee since have seen thee;

DEAD. FARMERS READ!

IL MARTINSBURG, VA, Jan. Ill, 1871.
Mr.. DETRICK-Dear Sir The following are
some of the names of parties who have used
Bradley's Super Phosphate viz: Benjamin Blu
sey, of Berkeley county, has used it the last two
years, and says its second to no other Phosphate
and recommends it to all farmers for wheat, corn
and all farm products.
Jonathan Thatcher of Berkely county planted
some corn with it in 1868, and in the Fall sowed
the same with wheat and last year he could
plainly see where every hill of corn was, for the
wheat stood several inches higher, and the heads
were much larger.
Adam Small has been using it the last three
years. and says it is the best wheat producer out.
VIM. McGary has used tito great advantage
and says it will pay for itself twice.
James Vanmetre has used it extensively, and
says every farmer should buy it particularly If
he has poor land.
Levi Tabler, George Small, John Linton, and
George Hill have all tried it on corn, wheat, &c.
and can testify to its many virtues.
We are yours, respectfully,
JACOB WIsNER Sc Sons.
mS> We have the above Fertilizer for sale
and can produce many other testimonials in its
favor. Try it on your wheat crop and be con-
WINGED of its excellent qualities
