DETERMINED ACTION. In Mount Vernon, IL
linos, Mrs Wilson, accompanied by her sister
in-law, Mrs. Watson, went to drug store the
other day and demanded the prescription upon
which, 10 consequence of a prohibitory law, her
husband had been in the habit of obtaining IL
quor. The clerk refused to give it up, but ad-
yised her to 60 to the doctor who issued it and
have him revoke it. Mrs. Wilson then told
him that if he did not give up the prescription
she would blow his brains oat, at the same
time presenting pistol at his head. After
considerable exposulation Mrs. Wilson was
induced to call upon the doctor, where, with
pistol drawn, she made him stand and deliver
IN true highwayman's style. With the revo-
cation of the prescription in hand, the two wo-
men triumphautly returned to the drug store,
and with pistol presented, threatened those
present with summary vengeance if any more
liquor was sold to Mr.. Wilson.

 Mud and politics seem to be the only
 universal topics of interest in town at pres
 ent. and to my mind they are very happily associated, for what the exact issues are, upon which the coming election centers, except the loaves and fishes, and what ben eft is to accrue to the material prosperity of the country by the success of either one of the present political factions, is just about as clear as mud, and again it is a time-honored custom with opposing par ties to occupy the time just previous to election day in the exhilerating pastime of throwing mud at each other, and as this innocent amusement is not to be omitted in the present campaign,i it must be a source of great eradication to the belligerents that nature has provided them with so in- exhaustible supply of ammunition. Now to the minor matters of interest. MT, Ralph Woodward, who sold his farm in the northwestern part of the town during the past winter, has recently purchased the of Mrs. Platt Smith in this village and takes possession immediately. The Malleable works have been bought by MT. Prayer and partner of Coxsackis, N. Y, who, l understand, propose to start the works at once. We all rejoice at this bit of good tidings, for we sadly need manu- factories in our vicinity to give tone and Vigor to business of all kinds. ALPHA.
