to Commissioner Shaw's late report, the first
cost to that plantation for liquors during the
past year was $2290. Allowing profit of 80
per cent, the receipts for liquors sold during
the year should in round numbers amount
to $4,000, $37 for each inhabitant and SlS7
for each family. The valuation Of the plan,a-
ton is $l3, 900, and the liquors sold in one
year amounts to 20 per cent. of the valuation.
Paris with a population of POO required only
Sl6l3 worth of liquors, and Bethel with a
population of $500 gets along with $500
worth. The sales in this little plantation Of
400 acres were greater by $500 than in any
other town or plantation in the county of Ok
ford, the town of Canton only excepted, and
ranks number nine among all the cities and
towns in the State.
