so busy with wedding cards as at the present
time. They frequently have fifty new plates

meets general favor, is reduced old English

ANOTHER HINT TO PORTLAND OFFICERS

We find the following in the Hartford Caurdnt;
Henry G. Robinson, Esq, acting State at
torney, yesterday directed the proprietor of
the gilt enterprise store in the State Bank
building to stop business or legal measures
would be taken-and the store was closed dur
ing the afternoon. The inducement to buy
prize packages is a temptation to boys to steal
and leads to crime; and the sale of these goods,
with the tempting bats of silver coin and
greeD5acks in show windows, is a species of
gambling where the "odds' are more in favor
of the establishment and against the buyer
than in many of the chance games which are
prohibited by law & .-.
