bilties. One Snow, farmer. in Walden,
Vermont, killed a pedlar named John
Stanton. while in a state of drunken iren-
zN, produced by a weeks debauch. The
drunken murderer of Stanton was sent to
state prison for life for the crime, and the
widow Stanton brought suit against David
Simpson, town liquor agent of Greensboro
and Il substantial farmer, for selling the
liquor to Snow, knowing that he was an
incorporate man. Evidence that Simp-
the man was introduced but was some
what shaken in rebuttal The agent
books showed that he had sold Snow
5000 worth in less than two years, and
this, together with the improbability OF
his "thcory'' that he supposed Snow to be

ried the case against him The Jury
brought in q verdict Of 5000. Sc The
case will be appealed to the supreme
court on the ground that the marriage of
the stantons, who are English people,
was insulliciently proved, but the conrt
will hardly be likely to require the mar
riage certificate Of parties whose relations

The temperance sentiment which is re
Elected in the above extract is Of that kind
which drops ont # radical convention
to the ntighooring saloon and comes back
chewing cloves. 1t is the hypocritical
prohibition temperance of the republican
party. 1t is the progenitor of that tenn
perance sentiment which maintains a
wholesale rum shop in Portland with
sales footing up a hundred thousand dol
lars a year. 1t is the temperance senti-
ment which authorizes public rum shop
in every town in the state. 1t is the tenn
permcc sentiment which fills every city
and large town in the state with unli-
ccnsed and unrestricted rum shops, and
sends thousands Of young men to ruin.
1t IS the temperance sentiment which says
to the keepers Of these shops-'vote the
radical ticket or you shall be prosecuted"
The speech Of Gen. Roberts, was 4 de-
liberate stab at this Kind OF temperance
sentiment, and we rejoice at it. Such talk
is the rankest hypocrisy, and put forth to
shield mass Of rottenness. The history
OF prohibition as manipulated by the re-
publican party is one long record Of fraud.
The first great victory in the state brought
the elevation of Elder Peck to the place
OF State Treasurer He was thief who
swept the treasury clean. His next friend
was Neal Dow, who if Peck spoke the
truth was the recipient of Il portion of the
funds, and the appropriation Of Peck's pa
pers while that worthy was in custody.
From that time down to the present year,
when the keeper OF the state wholesale
rum shop at Portland was detected in aid

giving a bill for twice as much whiskey

ness has been like unto these specimens.

bered that all can not be aCOmmO-

mothers son was eclipsed by policeman. Frank
was blind drunk, and wouldn't have been able to
recognize his grand mother, if she had been worth
a million. He paid one dollar and costs, and
promised to leave the city in all hour, and he must
have left, as no one has been seen lying in his
store box since he visited the Mayor.
Charles Hawk and Edward Hawk had little
matinee row with Jacob Fickes, and were arrest
ed for disturbing the peace. Charles pleaded
guilty and paid 81 and costs; Ed pleaded not
guilty, and was discharged after hearing.
