ALE, WINE AND BEER.-A number OF
saloon keepers, who don't desire to sell
anything stronger than "ale, wine and
beer" are trying to get Council to make
two grades OF licenses for the coming
year, and ask that where nothing but the
milder form OF drinks are
sold the license be reduced
to 500. At the last meeting of Council
a petition, which we print below, was
presented and referred to the committee
on Ordinances, for report in regard to
the expediency of granting the prayer OF
the petitioners. We have not been ad-
vised as to whether the committee will
have their report ready for the meeting
to night or not. The following is the pc
titIon:
TO the Honorable the City Council Of the
City of Wheeling:
The undersigned petitioners most re-
spectfully request your honorable bodies
to make two classes of coffee house
licenses for the coming license year, that
is TO saw: One class to be licensed to sell
beer, ale and wine, and the other class to
be licensed to sell beer, wine, ale and
spirltuous liquors.
We deem that such u classification of
licenses would tend to the good of the
public and would greatly advance true
temperance. 1t may be urged that those
taking out the beer, ale and wine license
would violste the provisions OF it aSd
sell spirituous liquor, such as whisky,
brandy, &c, and to this we would reply
that the whole matter is IN the hands of
your honorable bodies, and we pray you,
if YOU make such classification, to also or
dain such meas ures rs will compel strict
adherence to the license and powers
thereby granted under most stringent
penalties.
Your petitioners pray your honorable
bodies to aid and foster what to them
seems a meritorious movement, and,
since the taking out of such beer, ale and
wine license must be IN experiment to
those that will do SO TO place such license
at not more than one hundred dollars in
price for the coming license year.
Yonr petitioners further pray the
adoption OF the following resolution:
Resolved, That the foregoing petition
be and is hereby referred to the commit.
tee on Ordinances, to report an ordinance
classifying the licenses as prayed for and
fixing the price Of the beer, ale and wine
license for the coming license year at not
more than one hundred dollars; also to
report such an ordinance as will, by its
penalties. prevent the sale of spirltuous
liquors under such beer, ale and wine
license.
And your petitioners will ever pray,
&c. LOUIS GAUs.

neatly and tastefully fitted up, and the
music and dancing most excellent.

An ExPLANArIoN.-ln Saturday even
ing's Standard appeared communication
accusing Captain Sylvis, Superintendent
OF the city PRISON, of allowing prisoners
to go fishing last Sunday week. Mr..
Sylvis requests US to say that he never
gave such permission, and that none Of
his prisoners were allowed to indulge in
such sport. He says three tramps, not
prisoners, who were working for their
board, got permission from the night
watch. in his absence, and did
leave the work-house on the Sunday re-
ferred to, and may have been fishing, but
that was something OF which he had NO
control. Tramps who have not been
committed there BY the Police Court, can
leave when they please without permis-
sion from anybody.

Will Cleanse Scrofula from

HONEST OPINION.

NIX. II. II. 81 E4NS.-
: DEAR SIR-This is TO show that my son
was taken sick in January, 1864, with
Scrofula, which came out in large sores
swelled more than twice It's natural size.
He had several doctors OF high standing in
their profession-two from Boston and
three from Charlestown- without gettinga
bit better. He was Obliged to lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up
all hopes of his living we were told TO try
Vegetine, the great blood remedy; and he
had taken II but q short time before we
could see great change. The sores run so
bad that We had 10 change the cloths four
or five times day: Still, he was getting
better; for he could move his limbs and
help himself little. He was soon able TO
Sit up in bed, and, by constant use OF Vege-
tine, IL has cured him. He has a lame leg,
which he will probably have for life; but
we all honestly believe II we had used
Vegetine before we had bothered with
those doctors. Ii would have saved the use
of his leg. and restored IL TO natural health.
i hope all those troubled with Scroflla
will read this testimony Of me and my son,
who Is now well and able to speak for him.
