The Licen Inv.

The Worcester Spy, in an articl,
on the working ofthe license law, re
Gently said:
Lax and indiscriminate licensing Il
now below the standard of public sen
timent. The great bulk of orderly
people, and none others, are entitled t
consideration, are not in favor of loost
principles and mercenary considera
lions, as applied to a granted liberty il
the sale of intoxicating drinks. Large
numbers feel it to be an outrage thai
there are to-day so many places oper
for dram-drinking in this city. They
look for a reform hear at hand, and will
beg, for the credit of all concerned, moi
to be disappointed.
Those who are instrumental, more
than all other classes combined, in max
ing paupers and criminals, in breaking
up homes, disturbing the public peace,
and enticing young people into low
ways, are not the persons on whom
just laws should bear with especial le-
niency, or whom municipal regulations
should aid in their destructive work.
The paltry sums of money they can pay
into the city treasury for the privilege
of conducting a business that lives only
upon the unnatural appetites, broken
constitutions, impoverishments, beast
illness and wretchedness of its patrons,
let it perish with them rather than be
accepted as a price paid for an unright-
eous liberty.
1t is shameful to talk of any necessity
for economy that will justify the multi
plication of drinking places to such an
extent that nuisances abound at every
turn. These supposed savings involve
a violation of obligation to the perishing
and to the lovers of good order gener-
ally, and therefore had better not be
gathered. Besides, they are for per-
mits that experience has a thousand
times proved will be so used and abus-
ed as sooner or later, in one way or
another, to entail a grevious burden of
public expense. The greed that snatches
the money paid for the rumsellers' pro-
tecting license, does not work in the
line of true economy. 1t is misery and
should never leave its mark on any
transaction done in behalf of an enlight-
ened community.

A CURIOUS PETRIFAcrIoN.-The Ne
vada (Cal.) Herald has been shown a
curiosity in the shape of trout which
had become petrified in the root ofa tree.
The fish measures about six inches in
length, and shows very plainly the spots
Oh its sides and back. 1t is very perfect
and looks almost as if ready to glide
through the water. 1t was washed out
of a mining claim about two years ago.
1t must have run into the hole in the
root of the tree for a hiding-place and
there have been caught and petrihed.

Sheep shearing.

We regret that circumstances pro-
vented our being present at the sheep
shearing at the farm of V. Rich, Esq,
Richville, last week Thursday. From
the Otter Greek News we learn that the
following sheep were shorn:
= Geo H. Halls stock ram, 'Ben.

cass, 131 lbs, fleece, 2s lbs, 357 days
growth, length Of staple, 2 1916 inches.

Winkle," Jr., two years old, weight Of

Geo. d. Bush, two stock rams, live
weight of one rs lbs, fleece, Is IA lbs,
the other 7s lbs, fleece, 18 IA lbs,
These rams were two years old, theiI

In consequence of the continued COLI
weather, and absence of oil in the fieec
es, the sheep sheared much lighter thar
was expected. 60
According to MIR. Hackett, no sheeI
have ever been shorn in public excep
those descended from the Rich, Robin
son and StickDey 1ocks. How abour
the ram of Geo. Ii. Hall, was that de
scended from either ofthe focks named
and is it not barely possible that SHEEP
have been publicly shorn when the edi
tor of the Otter Creek News was no
present. Il

breeders were present, and a mucl
larger number would have attended i

aud if the weather had not been so in

Mr. Rich is entitled to great credit
for his public spirit, his generous invi
tAtion to the public, and his ample &C
~commodation of all at his place.
