that the lamentati0n is not We.i-i1unded. OF
DENYING that eramblmg is the most pre-
ciou~ privilege and the most imperative
dairy OF the sovereign people Now it is the
turn o. Vermont, where the last
General Assembly j. now passing un-
der roprlbati1n 10 Is the first one
under the biennial system, and contain
ed many inexperienced mea. Under the
old system one man WIS sent two terms,
but now the outs cannot wait 50 long, and
the iuS have only one term. We suggest
that they cultivate little more patience.
One great undolbtei evil Of legislation in
Vermont l. the lack Of general Jaws. Every
change ofnamc. charter ofa cheese factory
etc. requires special act. \ vast amount
ofthis business might be delegated to the in

IMPORTANT DECISION N \ LIQUoR CASE
The case of Hoyey II aiof Bostonvs. Grant,
decided at the law term of the Supreme
Court of New Hampshire held at Concord,
Is of great interest to dealers in liquors.
The defendant bought large quantities
of liquor in the fall OF 1870 of Boston
dealers. and among the number the plain
tihs The plaintiffs brought an action Of
trcspass for the value of the liquors, claim
ing that the defendant never intended to
pay for them when he bought them. and
that therefore the sale was void. The de-
fendant claimed among other deienccs. that,
if at the time of the purchase Of the liquors
he had in view the law prohibiting their
sale, and intended to resist payment by
means of the law. it was no fraud upon the
vender The court held that if the defend
ant at the time of the purchase, intended
not to pay for the liquors for any cause, and
concealed that intention from the seller, it
was fraud upon the seller, which would JUS
tilv him in resembling the sale and recover
ing his liquors or the value thereof. in an
action Of trespass. The jury found a YER
diet for the full amount for the plaintiffs,
and this court have recently reafirmed the
law a laid down at the trial. The effect of
this decision is that if a person buys liquors
where the sale is prohibited, but at the time
of the purchase does not intend to pay for
them. because of the law, but conceals that
intention, it is a fraud, and the yender can
reclaim his liquors or the value thereof.

RULES FOR WINTER-Never to 90 to bed
with cold or damp feet. In going into the
colder air keep the mouth resolutely closed
that by compelling the air to pass circuit
ously through the nose it may become warm
ed before it reaches the lungs, and thus pre-
vent those shocks of sadden chill which
frequently end in pneumonia, plenrisy and
other serious forms of disease. Let more
covering be on the lower limbs than on the
body. Have an extra covering within easy
reach in case of sudden and great change
of weather during the night.
