Juniata sentinel. [volume] (Mifflintown, Pa.) 1846-1873, 1873-09-17

We publish the following from last
weeks Lewisburg Chronicle. The
Chronicle is one Of the few papers in
Pennsylvania that was fairly pronounc-
ed for Local Option:
Mr. EDITOR: That the community may
| see the fiendish spirit of rum, the recipients
of the following letter hand it to you for
publication. Whilst ordinary offenders
against the mere material interests of soci
ETY. skulk in darkness from fear OF the law,
those who commit the higher crime against
the souls as well rs the bodies OF men def
antly brandish the incendiary torch and
tie assassin knife in the face OF all who
demand the laws penalty against that
which the law makes crime. If such IN
deed is the spirit of rum, Is it not high
time that the community should rise in
united effort to crush lawlessness that
threatens with poison and murder all who
dare lift hand or voice against it But We
will leave the letter speak for itself; il
needs no comment:

THE above letter is evidently written in
disguised or,hography. We have good
reasons for believing that the writer is
man Of more education than this letter
would indicate. Hence We conclude that
he is the agent of the whisky ring, with
plenty of money at their disposal to see him
through. The threat therefore demands
all the more attention. Insurance compa-
nies should endeavor to ferret out the mat
ter, as they are as much interested as the
individual threatened.

undersigned would respectfully inform
the citizens of Miflintoun and vicinity
that they have bought out MIR. II. d.
" Weller in the Boot and Shoe Manufac-
turing Business, and have opened

dren's Boots, Shoes, Caters and Slip
