The License Question.

In our allusion last week 20 the County
Court in which 10 substance we intimated that
by the whiskey question 1t was perplexed to
the verge Of raggeiedgedness, we bad no idea Of
impugning its motives or calling 10 question
its desire TO act wisely, with sound minds
aud calm, dispassionate feeling. conservative
in lis character and eminenty promotive Of
good order and temperance We distinctly
stated the question to be a difficult one. and
we had ocular demonstration that it was re-
garded by the Court as embarrassing, and SO
admitted by prominent member Of the Bench.
We were satisfied that the tagged look Of their
honors was not BIT unreasonable at the fag-
end Of lery term, but the facial depletion Of
wretchedness could only have been the result
Of apprehende,l failure to arrive at genuine
and 6nal solution Of the difficult problem.
We didn't discuss me merits or demeri,, Of
the whiskey qncetion, nor do we propose to do
so now /; bri we must say that We are sur.
prised that " Justice, heretofore uncompro-
iLisins prohbitionist is so we'll pleased with
the action Of the Court lie alludes to form
eF abuses Of license privileges and asks
Could such person on application expect
renewal Of confidence and a further repose OF
trust at the hands of upright and hish-mind-
ed Magistrates The abuse Of trust did not
enter into the consideration Of the subject
The grant Of license hinged upon the keep
/ ing of hotel, the main office room TO be aedi-
Gated 20 BAcchus. Justice derives comfort
in the expectation that the Courts action
makes responsible men, not only in the way
of character but Of property-the hotel propri
e,ors-the accountable parties TO the bond"
Was not the proprietor Of the Owings House
as responsible with his Bar in the basement as
on the first floor? Was not the owner Of the
Carter House, under the West Virginia law.
liable for damages incurred by an infringe
ment Of the law by tie renter of the sink?
We have no word of condemnation for these
Justices who voted their convictions through
ont on the question; nor have we any harsh
terms 10 apply TO, or unjust reflections to cast
upon such as were most troubled in steering
between the Gcylla and Charibdis Of License
and No License-a betwecnity that has per-
picked many navigators.
We can only hope for the best results from
every action of the Court But Justice
hardly demands that we shall represent their
Honors' countenances wreathed with Z" smiles"
at moment when they are unsettled in
their stomachs and their conyictions-of duty
might impel them to an edict that would pre-
vent them from taking the advice Of ST. Paul
to Timothy Such things have occurred in
J the world.

French Mode Of Selecting

itsclf equally well on all its legs, and if
one seems to yield, to specially examine
it; attention is then directed to the large
ness of the pupils Of the eye, which
ought to be more dilated when in the
stable than when exposed to full light.
After the animal has been led out OF the
stable, the eye ought to be again exam
ined to observe if the pupil has con-
tracted; ifnot, the sight is feeble Others.

the hollow over the eyes be profound,

suggests attacks Of staggers, and when

horse has been twitched with cord to
insure his quietness while being shod, or
having had to submit to some painful
operation.
