LIauoR L1oENss We learn that Mr..
L. D. Bowie. the Efficient Intendant of
our-t town, has revoked the old liquor
dicenses gsanted hete. and is issuing new
Licenses to conform to the requirements
OF the Tupper Law, and the instruc
tlons given by Judge Cooke. This Law
provides that, to 'obtnin tavern license,
(Which nlone authorizes to sell by the
drink the applicant must be recon-
mended by all respectable freeholders
Of the nlghborhood, and enter into
recog ni1apEa in: the sum of $1,000,
aud after obtaining license that
"every licensed tavern keeper shall
have and keep in his or her
house so licensed, at least two good
feather beds or mattresses for guests,
with good and sufficient bed clothes for
the same, and provide and keep good,
wholesome and sufficient diet for ira
velerH, and siabling and provsnder for
four horses more than his or her own
stock. upon pain of forieiting his license
or recognizance, and being subject to
like penalties as for selling without H.

been dead letter. but Judge Cooke is
determined, and we think very Justly, to
revive and enforce its requirements.
