Enr he Register.

Mr.. Editor-You will find below a
copy of the law which regulates the sale
OF liquors by Druggists. 1t is important
for all parties to know what this law Is
both the druggist whom it is intend
ed to bind, and the people whom 1t Is
intended to protect.
The cause of temperance Is now us
ing throughout the country under more
favorable auspices than ever before
The appalling facts ascertained-the
discussions aud legislation Of forty years
have not been in vain. The grand Sc
cret is discovered Of a law which will
execute itself, which has been already
put in operation by several States, as al,
ready published by you. We conf
IDENTIFY expect the same in this State, and
if it should ever come by counties Jetftr-
son can make out i stronger case than
Hancock, the law for which you pub
lished last week. Meanwhile let the
law " hich We have as below be execu-
ted It's needless to say that | can safe
ly adopt the signature OF
MANY CITIZENS.
GCode of W. Va, Chapter 81, Sec. 4.
This Chapter shall not be construed
to prohibit druggist from selling, with
out license, alcohol, spirituous liquors,or
wine, in good faith, for medicinal or
manufacturing purposes.
If any druggist shall sell alco-
hol, spirituous liquors, or vino, unless
for medicinal or manufacturing purpos
es, he shall, for each and every oitensc,
be fined not less than twenty nor more
than fifty dollars and it shall be the
special duty of the Circuit Court to give
this provision in charge to the grand
juries of their respective Courts. And
in any prosecution against a druggist
for selling alcohol, spirituous liquors, or
wine, without license therefor, if the
sale be proved, it shall be presumed that
such sale was i'll violation of this section,
unless the contrary be shown"
1t will be seen that if it be known
that a druggist sells spirituous liquors
the burden of proof that it was not for
drinking" falls ON him.

During the afternoon Of Wednesday
and forenoon Of Thursday, the exami-

satisfactory conclusion, and at the hour

apostolic mode. The father OF the can

Nae Strife Up Here.

1t is re lated that an old Scotch elder had
once a serious dispute with his minister at
elders meeting. He said some things that
nearly broke the minister's heart. After
ward he went home and the minister went
home, too. The next morning the elder
came down, and his wife said to him:
eye look sad, John what is the matter
with ye?''
"Ah,' he replied, You would look sad,
too, If you had such dream as | had. l
dreamed that l had been at the elders.
meeting, and had said some hard things
and grieved the minister; and when he
went home thought he died and went to
Heaven; and thought afterward that
died, too, and went TO Heaven and when
| got 10 the gate of Heaven, out came the
minister, and put out his hand to take me,
saying, Come along John there's nae
strife up here--I am happy TO see ye."
The elder went to his minister directly,
to beg his pardon, and found he was dead.
The elder was SO stricken with the blow
that two weeks after he also departed.
And should not wonder said he who
related the incident, 'if hon the minister
at heavens gate, and heard him say,
Come along, John there's nae strife up
here. ."--British Workmen,

A Funny Mistake.

1T developed upon certain reporter,
l. of country paper, to write for the
same edition, an account of the presenta-
ton of gold headed cane to Rev. DR..
Jones, the clergyman of the place, and a
description of % patent hog-killing and
sausage making machine, which had just
gone into operation. When the foreman
of the composing room received the two
locals, he cut them into small pieces, as
usual, for distribution among the type
settlers. A mistake must have been made
in numbering the "copy," for when the
paper went to press, the two reports were
mixed in such frightful manner, that the
following, or something like it, was the re-
suit:
"Several of Rev. Dir. Jones's friends
called upon him yesterday, and after a
brief conversation the unsuspioous hog
was seized by the hind legs and Slid along
beam until he reached the hot water
tank. His friend explained the object OF
their visit and presented him with very
handsome gold headed butcher, who grab
bed him by the tail, swung him around,
slit lis throat from ear TO ear, in less than
minute the carcase was in the water.
Thcreupon he came forward and said that
there were times when the feeling over
powered one, and for that reason he would
not attempt To do more than thank those
around him for the manner in which huge
animal was cut into fragments was simply
astonishing. The doctor concluded his re-
marks, when the machine seized him and
in less time than il takes TO write it, the
hog was cut into pieces and worked up into
delicious sausage. The occasion win long
be remembered by the Doctors friends AZ
one of the most delightful of their lives
The best pieces can be procured at flfteeI
cents q pound, and we are sure that thost
who have sat 80 long undor his ministl,
will rejoice that hc has been treated sC
hadsornely."

! strap for her--by some streak it happened
to be at the very street where he intended
to stop. And under the circumstances we
hardly blame her when the cars stopped
so suddenly that she caught at his arm for
the squeeze he gave the plump, rosy hand
any man of sense would have done the
same-it was such an inviting little lily.
"Allow me to carry your basket, Miss as
our path lies in the same direction" said
Mr.. E. courteously, relieving her of her
burden as he spoke "and-and-may be
you'd find less difficulty if you take my
arm.'
Well, wasn't it delightful ? Mr.. Edge
forgot the wet streets and pitchy darkness
-he thought he was walking on roses
Only as he approached his door he began to
feel little nervous, and wished the little
incognite would not hold on so tight.
Suppose Maria should be at the window on
the lookout rs she often was, how would
she interpret matters? He couldn't make
her believe tn at he only wanted to be po-
lite to the fair traveller. Besides, his sweep
ing declarations in the morning-she would
be sure to recall them. AS he stopped at
the rig hit lumber, and babe her adieu he
was astonished to see her likewise run up
the steps to enter. Gracious Appolo he
burst into cold perspiration at the idea of
a young ladys error.
81 think You must have made mistake,
Miss" he stammered; "this can't be your
house."
But it was too late-shc was already in
the brilliantly lighted hall, and turning
around threw off her dripping habiliments,
and made low curtesy.
"Why it's my wife y gasped Mr.. Edge.
"And happy to see that you amt for
gotten lis ladies'" pursued the merciless
little puss her blue eyes (they were pretty
all in dance with suppressed roguery.
Edge looked from ceiling to floor in vain
search of loop-hole to retreat, but the
search was unavailing.
"Well, he said in the most sheepish of
tones, " it's the first time was ever polite
to a lady in the cars, and hang me if it
shan't be the last"
"You, see, my DEAR said the ecstatic
little lady, 81 didn't expect to be delayed
so long, and had not any idea I should
meet with such attention in the cars, and
that from my husband, too Goodness gra-
cious, how Aunt Priscilla will enjoy the
joke"
"If you tell that old harpy l will never
hear the last of it," said Edge in despera-
ton.
Every probable" was the provoking re-
ply of his wife.
"Now look here darling" said Mr.. Edge
coaxingly, "you won't say anything, will
you? A fellow don't want to be laughed
at by all the world. l say, Maria, yon
shall have the prettiest furs in New York
if you will only keep quiet--you shall, upon
my honor"
The terms were satisfactory, and Maria
capitulated, who wouldn't? And that is the
way she got those furs that filed the
hearts of all her female friends with envy.
And perhaps it was what made him such
a courteous husband ever since.

Homeopathic Hospital Fair.


The Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital,
an institution chartered by the State, has al
ready made favorable beginning. 1t occu-
pies small house hired for the purpose, and
has sixteen beds. Although it has been in
operation less than a year, the applications
for admission have been far in excess of its
capacity, and there is an absolute necessity
for more money to meet its wants, and to
place the hospital in proper condition for
enlarged usefulness.
By unanimous vote, at joint meeting of
the Managers of the Ladies Aid Association
and the Board of Trustees of the hospital, it
has been decided to hold Public Fair for this
purpose, in Boston, in April, 1872.
The sudden increase Of interest in home-
opathy renders this a peculiarly suspicious
time for such movement, and our friends
everywhere are invited TO unite with US in our
efforts to enlarge and endow great public
charity, and to provide what is so much need
ed-suitable hospital accommodations under
homeopathic treatment for those who desire
it.
This Fair will be planned on broad land
extensive scale. Those who feel an interest
in extending to the poor the blessings of hon.
eopathic treatment, which they themselves
enjoy, together with the comforts of well
ordered hospital, are urgently invited to take
active interest in the matter, and to collect
and contribute either money or articles suita-
BILE for sale.
There will be Maine table, and all articles
thus collected may be handed to the local
physicians in the various cities and towns,
who will promptly forward the same.
Papers throughout the State are invited to
publish this notice.

The extensive slate quarries at Brownville
have called the attention of builders and 9TH
ers to the work of getting out material for
roofing. The Bangor and Piscataqus Slate
Company are doing quite a business in that
town. We understand that Mr.. Adams II.
Merrill says that on his farm alone 10000
men could be proftably employed in opening
up the Quarries Of slate. 1t is thought that
the supply of slate is inexhaustible, and that
the quarries extend throughout the town. 1t
is somewhat curious to notice that in Brown
vile, while cedar shingles are worth in the
market 81 per thousand, small slate ofexcellent
quality brings but $3.50 per square-a square
of slate going as far on roof as a thousand
of shingles.

Dr.. T. 8. Lambert Of New York, has just
closed q most successful course Of lectures in
this city. As president of the American Pop
lar Life Insurance Company he has devoted
over twenty years to the study of constitution
al longevity. The principles deduced from
his long and careful observation and expert.
ence have been most successfully applied in
the company under his management. The
New York Journal of Commerce, in speaking
Of this company, says:
"Its record of FIVE and half years is truly
remarkable. OF 1000 persons insured, only
IA altogether have died, and of those by &C.
cidcnt, while in 1871 not one of the first class
died from disease; 1000 of the 1000 were in
sured for over two years, 200 for three years,
and some for four and five years. The saw
ing to those insured in the frst-class was
SPAS, 900. These results are not only impor-
tant from a business point of view, but by
their novelty and interest as matters of
scientific calculation will attract general at
tentiOn."
