TUESDAY morning Deputies Durgin and
Stevens received information from maiden
lady that Mr.. John O'Brion of Biddeford was
very much addicted to the habit of selling spir-
ituous and Intoxicating liquors, and also that
the liquors were kept in a WATERFALL in Johns
house. She knew these statements to be facts
because she had been in the habit of buying her
rum there. Messrs. Durgin and Stevens &C
cordingly procured search warrant and de-
scended upon Mr.. O'Brion. They found the
WATERFALL filled with some liquid which they
were unable to capture, as bystander acci-
dentally knocked it from Mr. Durgin's hand
An inquest over the remains however, disclos-
ed the fact that the contents of the pail was
whiskey in very malignant form. Mr. O'Brion

and also on complaint for single sale. On the
latter charge he was discharged, on his own tes-
timony, because in addition to his denial he
said the witness for the State lied. On the
former the court reserved its opinion until Sat-
urday and for his appearance at that time the
respondent gave his personal recognizance.
The MUTUAL BENEFIT ACCOUNT BooK.-It
is generally understood that the cash purchas-
er of groceries and provisions for daily con-
sumption does not have that discrimination
made in his favor over credit customers that
justly belongs to him, and that the man who
is not too proud TO carry home his own pur-
chases has had to practically pay part of the
expense of delivering his neighbors In the
first instance the dealer makes Mr.. Cash pay
Mr. Credits interest besides losses from bad
debts. Mr. M. Y. B. Stimson, of Kittery has
devised remedy for this inequality by the pre-
paration of Mutual Benefit Account Book"
in which the entries of all purchases are made
in the usual form. The book contains an
agreement and check paying back to the pur-
chaser at specified times certain per centage
on all cash paid by him for goods purchased
within an agreed time. The book is nicely got
up, and the system is worthy of adoption.

THE annual meeting of the stockholders of
the York Corporation for the election of direct
ors and other officers will take place at the
Company's counting-room in Saco on the 18th
inst.
The health of Mr.. H. Temple, the Treasurer,
is such as to compel his resignation, and it is
understood that Mr. Hastings of Boston, will
be chosen to fill his place. The affairs of the
company were never in more prosperous con-
dition than at present, the stock selling freely
at very nearly double its par value
