The old Massachusetts Blue Law
p~uritanfcal. self-constituted smelling
committee onS1empera1iee, have run
their PROSECUTIONS to such an extent
as to makers nothing but Outrageous
and indecent PERSECUTION, and the
result has been just IS we predicted
when placed in the hands of a set of
men who are fanatical in their views,
aud who will not stop TO reason either
on temperance, religion OF politics,
or any thing else they undertake to
control. Failaticism and extremes
are their food. After they regulate
the drinking business, they viii then
turn their attention to mems diet,
what Church they shall attend, and
fine themsif they appear on our streets
ON the Sabbath without a certain kind
of ~prayersbook or tic Bible, under
their. arms Had this, Temperance
Rctorm been placed in the hands of
consistent and reasonable men, instead
of fanaties-men who had Judgment

carry tteir work. some good might
have been done, but rs itswas not, not
only the cause OF. Temperance has been
injured, but the business OF the town
has suffered materially, and now the
sooner they retire OH the '.laurels'
they have won, the better 1t will be
for themselves and the town.
Since the above was written a call
for q meeting, on next Thursday eve
ming, has been handed us, which will
be found in another column ofto-days
paper. As we understand if, the OBJ
ject of tile meeting is to put an end TO
PROSECUTIONS on the liquor question,
and at the same time enforce the law
against all offenders, reasonably and
sensibly, and moi drag men ten and
twelve mile four and five days after
the supposed offense was committed.

very much imposed upon by the ex-

is not now, nor has there been, but
ONE case of smallpox in the town, and
that is so isolated and protected that
there is not the least danger from it.

A case recently tried before the Clunmcl

and novel termination by the presiding
Judge. The parties in the case were "a
young man and young woman, both Of
whom claimed possession of a rural prop
erty, one by virtue of an ancient lease and
the other under a will. They were in court
for the purpose Of giving their testimony,
when bright idea occurred to the Judge,
who interrupted the case To say -
1T just strikes me that there is Il pleas
ant and easy way to terminate this law
suit. The plaintiff appears to be a re-
spectacle young man, and this is very

The young lady, on being intcrrogated,
blushed, and said she was quite willing To
marry the plaintiff. The latter, on being
asked if he would wed the young woman,
gallantly responded, "Most undoubtedly

mcnded to hotel, whittier they were rid

were Inscribed IN large letters the words
"HOtel Radzievill." She cried out,

was done as aoon as sald,. The driver
was stopped There were several ladies
about the hotel, but none OF them spoke
either English or French. However, the
servants were made to understand by ges-
lures that they were to take in the luggage
and the travellers were ceremOniouely con
Quoted into an apartment.
The lady asked by signs for a sleeping
room, to which she was led and on her
return said to her husband, " never saw
in all my life hotel 80 admirably fur
nishcd. Come aud see the chamber and
sleeping room " Having dressed, our
English folk lunched, and announced 70
the servant that they would dine at Ave.
They went to walk. On their return
gentleman Of distinguished appearance
entered their room, saluted them and said
something in German which they did not
understand. The Englishman, thinking
him II little familiar, replied carelessiy in
English, "Good morning. How do you
do /" and the stranger Withdrew. A
delicious dinner was served. When the
servants had gone, "My dear" said the
gentleman to his wife, "all this is excel

But il must he very dear, and as matter
of prudence it will he well to ask for e

the husband. "Surely no one could be

The Englishman was SO astounded that
he could make no reply, and could not ex-

greatest CONSERVATION, began to tell the
Prince in English that the word "hotep'
over the door had caused her error. The
Prince, who saw their confusion, politely
expressed his satisfaction at having gEen
hospitality to English people, and begged
them to remain few days longer thi he
might enjoy their society. The English
man succeeded in making the servants a
few presents, and the Prince insisted upon
accompanying them TO IL real "hotel" IN

Four years ago he applied the speclroscope

strumental means were not then sufficient

some degree of confidence that Sirius is
reccding at rate exceeding twenty miles
per second. In order that he might eX-
