about our village that was thought to be very
necessary to "help business . along in your
town year or so ago, when your council

drunken men were to bo found in our streets,
some carrying loaded pistols and shooting at
dogs, and ono person was said TO have threat
cnsd to shoot certain landlord for refusing
to let him have any more liquor when he was
already drunk. Some wanted to fight.
BY the way, our village was blessed or
rather cursed with two young men taking a
few dry knocks on one of our public streets
on Saturday night Whist made the affair
more interesting. enc young man protested
better things and yet ia said to have used
language more forcible than wise for one in

day of last week the case between VIM. T.
& G. d. Murtlt and John 4. Nicely, all of Sole
bury, was tried before justice Geo. A. jerks,
of Newtown. It appears the Messrs. Murfits
leased a mill and farm of Mr.. Nicely, and a
year ago there was change made in the lease
involving new contract. The difficulty arose
about paying the taxes, repairs to the mill,
and other matters. The magistrate decided
according 60 the law and evidence. There
were two cases, one was decided in favor of
Nicely, the other against him. Neither party
seemed satisfied with the verdicts.

For TnE REcoRn


Mn. Ep1ToR Il see in The Beacon that
the friends of liquor drinking have found
one farmer, Ga years old, living near Rock
town, who threatens q withdrawal of the
farmers patronage and trade with your town,
in case license is not granted to sell liquor the
coming year. This would be great calamity,
and suggest that the following plan be inn
mediately set on foot TO meet and avert its
dire results. 1t is this. Let every merchant
provide himself with a jug Of aohtshey and
advertise through the papers that they
will give a free drink to all the poor thirsty
creatures who will favor them with their
trade. The expense will be small, and the
scheme will attract attention for its novelty
and originality But | can assure " Gusto .
that as class the farmers are not SO depraved
as to call whiskey drinking one of our dearest
rights believe lie does.
Whisky Drinking a Dcmorattzer.--lt is
we'll known that if spirituous liquors are in
troduced to barbarous or uncivilized peo-
pie, they will all take to it like ducks to
water.
If liquor was withheld from a person as
soon as he commenced TO buy more than is
good for his purse, his morals, his family or
the community at large, the business would
fall to the ground at once. 1t is the exees-
sive drinking of liquor that floats the bust
ness. After all the talk about moral suasion
and dear rights, but few parents can stand by
without a thought of anxiety and see son
;,,s+ o,,,ar,r;r.r int, rnonhoad 0o off and buv a
quart of liquor to be drunk by himself and
companions. / have never belonged to any
pledged society, nor do l deny myself the
privilege of occasionally taking a drink of
liquor, but am willing Mt any time to deny
myself Of that privilege for the public good.
ssGusto " says man will work better by
having three drinks Of whiskey day. |
would like to see him make farmer believe
that. On the other hand, a farmer would not
hire man if he kept whiskey around.
What is a?-What is it that is making
such fearful inroads on the whiskey trade ?
What is it that has dethroned King AlcohoPs
reign of terror on Sunday and election day, in
many places where his presence is not needed?
What is it that has dethroned our own great
institution of crime and ckedness-slavery ?
| will answer that. 1t is brotherly feeling.
1t ramifes every part of the human family
and stretches its loving and protecting arms
to every cline. Just as long as this feeling
pervades the human heart, alcohol has got a
foe. We are great nation, but we will be a
far greater one when the last licensed rum
hole shall be swept from the land. In 1776,
we declared ourselves an independent nation.
We sustained that declaration. In 1861 we
declared four Millions of slaves to be freemen.
We sustained that declaration. We are striv-
ing now to make the declaration that no
drunkards shall be made in this land. God
helping, we viii sustain this declaration.
What grand thought nation without a
drunkard
Come one, come all and help us make it.
