Licensed Rum.

Mr.. itor:-In the City Of Providence
X with population OF 100 600 iuhab-
itants, are $50 licensed grog-shops, and
probably some 400 places where liquor is
sold clandestinely. We have one grog shop
to about every one hundred Inhabitants 10
the city.
As Providence is the business centre of
the State, quite portion of the liquor sold
here. goes out of the city.
Our present license law. went into OPP
Grafton little more than one year ago,
The year preceding, we had a prohibi.
tory law. which not only diminished the
sale OF liquor, but of drunkenness as well.
The Increase of intemperance has neces-
STATED the increase OF our Police force, and
greatly enlarged the business ofthe courts
Not only do men drink to excess, and
revel Oh the streets, but poMen do the
same thing! II is n sad condition Of socie-
ty. The difference between prohibition
and license, is very marked in this city. aud
man with ''half All eye" can see the ad-
vantage OF having a prohibitory law.
The temperance people in the State are
earliest workers, and constantly Increasing
In numbers, and expect to carry the State
for prohibition at the next election.

Augusta Saturday morning with Charles

freely and appears entirely sane. His
room was on the third floor of the hospital
aud he took out the lower sash. cut the
window cord with case knife, previously
obtained from the dining room, removed
the casing with a screw driver and took
out the window weight; then. waiting till
midnight,he wrapped the weight 10 piece
OF blanket to deadeD the sound. broke the
cast iron grating tire window and let
himself to the ground by means of his
blankets stripped and tied together tor the
purpose.
Making his way from the grounds. he
waited on the road till morning. then
walked out TO the corner where the road
branches to TOgas, where he took the stage
and rode to Winslow's Mills. There he
took the freight train for this city. 1t was

After all the platforms. the nominees

forth no uncertain sound. Reform in the
civil service, one term, hard money. free

already Gov. Hayes has carried his own

yantageous than now, and as far as we
know there are few who can reasonably
doubt but that he will not only carry Ohio

He is strong man and his strength begins

stronger than we knew. Perhaps indeed
they were RICH, who said it was the
