 This Is about the only village in the State where there has becn no sir on the temperance question.

 well, no ninttef, you arc of no account, and no one will trouble themselves about it, md so it seems to nc on the temper nnce question. The whole country Is now stirred up on the matter of temper ance, and not one single HGt las been done in this Villaye-nOt one blue ribbon has been sGeu in our streets OH any Of the citizens. Where are our teachrrsf our leading men? those who ought to
 ''put thelf shoulder to tho wheel" just at this time! Ii seen,s as If they might ,t. la aarl.tK have no license. In the whole town there Is only ono licensed, and all the vindirtiyeness of the teetotlcrs seems tu be vented against him. Why against himY Thls town voted licoaso; he has complied with law; the town has had his money, and unless your corre5p0nd- cnt K mistaken in the man, he has endeayOrod to comply with the law in every particular. Would it not show better sense for the temperance people of this town to put Il stop to the sale by unlicensed dealers. It don't seem right to make fish of one man and fowl of another. Let Us have tho law on the statute books enforced. and after that Is done it will Dc time enough to find fault with legal dealers.
 Only about two-tlirds of tho owners of dogs have complied with the law in re- gard to having the dogs registered. Some of these days the grand jurors will get after the delinquents and will make 1t hot fir them. As the law now is, all dogs are obliged to he muzzled until the selectmen order them removed, an there has not been q muZzlc seon in the streets for so long Il time that no ,.no would know what il me mt if they were to see one.
 The grand jurors had three persons arrested for i.reakins into the house of Gideon White on May :Irl. They had Il hearing before Justice Canford, ,nh were discharged, as the court did not find probable cause. Those best informed say the evidence before the court of enquiry and the evidence at tho hearing were not near enough alike Tor an out slider to know that it was in regard to the same matter. On the evening of the day of the hearing May lithJ the mother of two of the boys came into court, and made things very lively; 80 much so that the justice ordered the officer to put her out of the hall, which. said ollieerui'l in less than no time. After she was out the door, she caught stick of stove wood, anl e,,arcd to try ii on the off, ocrs head, but her daughter nterfered and stepping between her and the officer, crlmmeda handkerchief into her mouth, which kept her still few momcrlts.- When She came back into the town hall she, broke. out again. and her remarks were anything but complimentary to the court. grand jurors, or anyone else. It seems 10 me the justice was very rcmiss to his duty. as he did not send her to New Haven and give her time to cool of. little. I am informed, but cannot voueh for the truth of it. that the justice did make out mitimu5 for her, but finally concluded to adjourn until morn ing, and if she appeared then and made disturbance, to send her np Gn other words, .. WI to New Havcn); but ill the morning she did not appear,
