LETTER FROM NORTH EAST.

NORTH EAST, Feb. 18th, 1878.
T. +. EWING, ESQ. Str.-We
must congratulate you for keeping your
shears in such good condition; they are so
remarkable sharp that they clipped our let
ter of the 18th inst, till Sampson like,
it was well nigh shorn Of its strength
Perhaps the language was little too sharp
for your modesty, but, nevertheless, it was
true; we hope by modifying it a little you
will do us the justice to print part of it at
least, inasnuch as comparatively few OF
your many readers have any idea of the
distances those parties live from our vii.
lage. Therefore we would just say that
the respectable freeholders Of our town and
immediate ricini1y peremptorily refuse to
sign petitions for the sale of Intoxicating
beverages in North East; consequently the
rumseller is compelled to so some tr0 OF
three miles to get men to recommend them
to the Honorable Judge or County Clerk;
whereas the law says, in their iDsna0diGte
cicini'y, and s1aH comply with all the Code
in regard to ordinary license, and under
these circumstances we cannot see how the
Honorable Judge can justify himself in
recommending these men to the County
Clerk for license for the sale Of rum in
North East.

Board of Directors, but some of the mehl-
bers being unable to attend the meeting
was not held. Messrs. Flitcraft u Co.,
authorised subscription of $4,000 to the

probability is that the stock, $50, 600, re-
ouil ed to grade this road between Elkton

Spring opens, when the work will be i'm
mediatelY put under contract.
