THE NEW DRUG Law.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
There appears to be great amount OF excite.
ment and spirit OF resistance among the druggists
against the law passed by the last Legislature regu.
iatlng the sale OF drugs and determination On the
part Of quite a number OF them 10 resist the law II
those who are holding meetings and dcvising plans
to evade the law would take little time to ascer.
tain what the law really is they would al once see
that the law Is not only just one, but one which
should be enforced. The writer, who is an owner
OF drug store, took the pains to call upon this
board, or. rather its gentlemanly secretary, and
from him ascertained that the law prohibits any
person putting up prescriI ton or dispensing
p0lSons without having certificate from tue Board
there should he some regnlatOn In regard to the
sale OF posons and the preparing OF prescriptions.
Inc statenlenG which has been made That no one
will bo permitted to sell salts or SIENNA, &C.,
without having passed an examination before this
board Is not true. The law does not prohibit a
clerk selling the ordinary drugs called for at the
counter OF drug store; out 1t does prOhibit-and
up prescription without having some qualinca-
ton. Let all physicians VINO put up their own pre-
scrpti0ns be compelled to pass THIS examination,
well as the druggists, and let us bear no more
ABOUT opposing the law. Ii there are any druggists
who are not competent to pass this examination
examined for prescription clerks and let them dis.
pensc pOtsOns and attend to the prescriptions.
Surely, II there Is a man IN the drug business who
il unable To pass OH examination Ne ought to ne
prevented from dealing out death misceaneously
Would 1t not speak much better for the druggists
eli combine to enforce the law rather than resist 1t

The CONCERT LAST EvENING.-As we
predicted, one of the largest and most
fashionable audiences that has gathered
in Washington Hall for many a day.
The ladies were out in force, drawn by
curiosity, perhaps, to see woman
assert her right to be as scientifically
musical as man. The appearance ofthe
Lady Orchestra was good. To see
twenty young ladies, none overpower-
ingly handsome, yet all pleasing in
feature and in figure, clad in blue
basques and red dresses, trimmed with
black velvet, was worth the price of ad-
mission, though their music had been
bore. But it was not. Though OF a
light and not strictly classical character
it was very attractive, and rendered by
the ladies in a graceful and artistic
manner. We were much pleased with
a pot-pourri from Travatore. 1t was
splendidly given. The singing of Herr
Muller pleased us. He has a rich bar
ritone voice, of great power and high
cultivation. The singing Of the young
girl Anna Elzer did not come up to our
expectation. 1t seemed to us to be thin
There was a want Of fulness in it that
age will perhaps bring. 1t is very
sweet though, and extraordinary in a
girl of thirteen or fourteen. As a whole
the concert was grand success.

DELICIOUS GRApEs.-Our friends Frank
Walters and Thomas Shallcross have
our thanks for a supply Of delicious
grapes received from them last evening.
The grapes were as fine as any we ever
eat. They were as sweet as concentra-
ted honey hanging in drops. They are
on the broad guage road for bright
hereafter. Gentlemen who so kindly
remember their friends can always feel
that "virtue is its own reward" Thank
you, gentlemen, both.

The young men at the Wheeling
watering places have discarded white
vests. The young ladies use so much
oil on their hair that vest is only good
for one evening on the piazza. -Otta'oa,
(Canada), Citizen.
That's good, that is. We don't care
whether it is applied to the Wheeling
watering places, the white vests, or the
hair lie, the item is good. But we would
like to have our Kanuck friend indicate
as near as possible just what watering
places are meant. 1t can't be the 'oss

New FIRM.-By the advertisement in
this mornings paper, it will be seen
that the firm of Henry X. List & Co.
has been dissolved, Henry X. List re-
firing, and the new firm of List, Daven-
port & Parks formed. We commend
the new firm to the business men Of
this and the adjoining States. They
bring to their business complete knowl-
edge of all its ramifcations, industry,
perseverance and strict probity. We
predict for the new firm a complete
and entire success.

For MArAMoRAs.--The river has
fallen to such a low stage that naviga'

vertisement in another column it will
be seen that the fast running, A l, cop.

by this line, as the horses have all been
tested by the United States authorities,
and any liable to bust were sent to
