The Democratic CahuIuatc'
Horace Greeley has accepted the NOM
nation rendered him by the Democracy
of the country, and henceforth he and
his followers are to train in the Dem
ocratc ranks. Mr. Greeley's long letter
of acceptance throws out a prominent
bid for the Secession Southern vote by
declaring the emancipation Of the slaves
unconstitutional. Some may say that is
a strong Interpretation of his language,
but if there is any meaning in words
like these "For constitutional obliga-
tons constrained me to act for the most
part on the defensive in the resistance
to the diffusion, rather than in direct
efforts for the extinction of human

plain Interpretation Of these words

clare if Mr.. Greeley is elected, the South
will obtain pay for the emancipated
slaves, know their man.

1t was once said by physician that
it had been distressingly healthy in his
locality for a long time, and it can truly
be said that it has been unusually healthy
in this village and vicinity since the 1st
of January, 1872; as in population Of
ten or twelve hundred, embracing nearly
0ne-third of the inhabitants of the town,
only one death has occurred, and that
was in the first week of the New Year.
Quite different from what it was few
years since, when a stranger had in
view, locating here, in conversation
with one of our business men. At that
time he inquired in regard to the bust
ness of the village. The man answered
him that most kinds of business had been
rather quiet for few months past, but
his occupation, that of an undertaken,
had been quite active in the meantime.
The man replied that he did not care to
become a resident of a village, where
that branch of industry was lively. The
result was, he took up his abode in an
other town. Two or three young doc
tors have canvassed here, intending TO
commence the practice of medicine, but
they wisely concluded that the field was
not an inviting one; one undertook ii
but, for the want eff patients, he aban-
doned the place, after few weeks.
On account of the dullness in the
building line, most of our mechanics
have gone abroad for employment.

DEATHFROM PoIsON.- The Sherbrooke
Gazette says that young child of Rud-
dy came to its death few days ago un-
der the following painful circumstances
The mother had purchased from the
druggist some fly paper to kill flies, and
put it in the usual way on plate, and
left it on a box within reach of the child
fourteen months old, and left the room.
On her return she found that he had got
hold of the plate and had either drank or
split the contents, and was sucking the
paper At the inquest it was shown
that each sheet of paper contained about
three to four grains of arsenic, and that
one tenth of gram had been known to
kill person. The jury found death
from arsenic poison.

The report of the republican victory in North
Carolina appears to be fully confirmed. Accord
ing to the New York Herald's report, the demo-
Gratis at Raleigh make CadwelPs majority 1920.
The Tribune's report makes it 1923. In the
World, it is reported at "from 1000 to 1907
The republicans say it will be from 1000 to 25OO.
We shall know precisely what it is, when the
vote has been officially counted. II is certain
that the republicans have carried the state and
elected their whole state ticket; and that they
have swept away the 5000 democratic majority
against them and gained at least about 1900 ad
di iional votes. When the democrats at Raleigh
telegraphed a great democratic victory with
such emphasis as moved their friends in New
York to burn considerable powder, the Tribune
shouted: "Wel donel Noble North Carolina |
You have announced in advance the verdict of
nation" Well, let the omen be accepted; but
the nations verdict will not be what the Tr-
bune desires.
The Richmond State Journal, speaking of this
result, says: There is most palpable decline in
the Greeley stock market, created by this sudden
North Carolina corner" Two months hence
this stock will have become something very dif
ferent in value from what the Illusions of its
holders have tried to make it. Looking over
the whole field, and studying carefully the
movements and influences by which the voting
in November viii be affected, we give it as our
deliberate and honest opinion, that Horace
Greeley can not possibly be elected president Of
the Quilted States. We shall be saved from the
financial disturbance and disaster which his
election would be sure to create; and the coun-
try will not become the sport Of his moods, his
weaknesses, his crotchets, and his undesirable
associations We have this confidence, and We
believe il will increase every day, from this time
until November.

Of selectmen of the town in which the petitioner
desires to sell. Thus it will be seen that the
people of a town, through the sclectmen, have
it within their power to prevent entirely the sale
of liquor within their limits, and a violation of
the new law incurs all the pains and penalties
of the old Maine law. Parties procuring Ii
censes must give bonds in the sum of $1,000 for
strict observance Of the law; and there
is section in the statute which makes
the seller of liquor responsible for any
damage the consumer may cause while under
The influence of intoxicating drink thus
obtained, the amount to be recovered from
the sufeties upon the bond of the dealer There
is also section forbdding the sale of liquor to
minors, and TO either husband or wife after no.
ticc to the contrary from one of them. These
sections, could they be successfully enforced,
would add something TO the efficiency of the
new law; but the attempt to enforce them will
be likely TO encounter difficulties. This lawwas
supported by both parties and was passed with
great unanimity. 1t is new, and an expert
ment, bull il is well worth watching. The Ii
censed sellers will, of course, use their influence
against all lawless selling. VIII this be an
improvement? Let us wait and see.
