mems Whisky War now raging in
Ohio and southern Indiana. The views
expressed were quite diverse. The fol-
lowing two gentlemen who are we'll

the journalistic bores:
REV. z. T. PERKINS, .
Rector OF st. Pauls Church, said that
he had not informed himself sufficient.

He hoped that any movement to over
throw intemperancs would succeed, but

fused to be interviewed upon the sub
ject, stating that he knew so little OF
