PhiIddetphiG.-Maior Griffith, of this
town, recently started out on soliciting
/ tour for the oyster packing establishment
of VIM. r. Adams, when he brought up
in an alderman's Office in the city Of
brotherly (?) love, where he Was com
/ PEELED to pay fine of 800 for an alleged
violation of the law prohibiting pon-resi-
dents from selling within the boundaries
of Pennsylvania without license. The
| fine is $500 and months Imprisonment,
and its inconsistency Is apparent wheH
the purpose for which it is enacted is OF
such simple character. Our reporter
| informed us that the alderman acknow-
iedged hisignorance of the existence aof
suchsa law, yet, strange TO say, he did not
scruple to take the 500. There is some
4 thing -"rotten in Denmark, land the
leniency in the case can be readily un-
derstood. Perfidious nature Lncky
