Certificate of a Prominent Citizen
of Adrian, Mich, who had not
Walked without Clutches for
two years. He threw them away
in "a Hours after the first ap-
plicatiOn of Wizard Oil.

DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, had been two years suf-
fering severelywith Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at a time to my bed. The balance of the
time was compelled to crawl around upon
crutches. / used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. I used bottle
day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,

Enforcement Of the Liquor Law at
White River Junction.

WHITE RIVER JUNCTION, VT, Aug
4.-On Friday last on complaint made
by several citizens of White River Vii
lago to States Attorney Davis, II. E
Harris, proprietor of the White River
Village hotel, was arrested for viola
ton of the liquor law, and his stock o.
liquors seized. Upon the hearing Of
this case before Justice Dutton, con.
Quoted by the states attorney, Harris
was fined $50 and costs, and his liquor
amounting to about 100 gallons, was
confiscated.
On the same day, OH complaint OF
several citizens of this place, Col. A. j.
Grover, hotel keeper, Geo. Scannell,
bar keeper for Grover, ii. e. Stevens
and Elisha s. Stevens, saloon keepers,
were arrested for violation of tho liquor
law, and all the liqnor In their posses
sion seized. Col. Grover and III. c.
Stevens were each fined $40 and costs.
Geo. Scannell was fined 800 and costs,
and Elisha Stevens was lned $50 and
costs.
Col. Grover took an appeal and was
bailed in the sum of $50 by C.. w.
Pease.
Geo. Scannell took an appeal apd
was bailed in the sum of 5000 by Col.
Grover.
The liquors of Ii. c. Stevens were
conflscatcd.
On the same day a complaint was
made against each of the above parties
for maintaining nuisance, and they
were ordered under penalty OF s10 q
day each to close their bars. This raid
is probably but the beginning of the
work now proposed to be accomplished
in varions portions of Windsor county.
There is only one other place where
lager beer is sold which remains open.

Pistols IN Georgia.

The practice of carrying firearm
being an offence against the laws O
Georgia, one of her magistrates hitupoi
the following plan 10 break II up;
Judge Lester, while holding oour
recently, in one of the northwestern
counties, suddenly suspended proceed
ings, ordered the sheriff to lock IN,
door, and let no one out, and then in
formed those present that no had seer
a pistol on one man In that room, and
that il might be his duty to go before the
grand jury and have him indicted, but
il he would come forward and lay
down the pistol and fine of one dol
lar, tho matter would he overlook
ed. One after another from among the
lawyers, witnesses and jurymea came
forward, until there were lying on the
table nineteen pistols and revolvers and
as many dollar bills.
"1his is right, "said the Judge, as each
one advanced" but you are not the
man."
There was pause, and the judge re-
sumed: "Gentlemen, here are nineteen
persons who have acted like mon, but
the man saw has not yet come forward.
l will give him one minute longer 10 ac-
cept my proposition; il he does not in
that time will point him out to the
sheriff, and order that he be taken into
custody"
Immediately two men in the rear of
the. court arose; they looked ut each
other moment, but II was too late,
they had committed themselves, and
could do no other than go forward and
lay down their pistols and their dollars.
One of these the judge designated as
the original culprit, and the law hav-
Ing thus been vindicated, the court pro-
ceeded with its regular business. ITO

n 1t is said that business men in
Bristol contemplate organizing line of
freight teams between Bristol and Rut-
land, on account of the high tariff rate
on the railroad from Rutland to New
Haven and the cost ofteaming from the
New Haven depot to the village. There
ought to be no necessity for such step
as this, as the railroads can carry far
more cheaply than teams, but the cost
OF freight on the railroad bears alto
gether too hard upon the towns where
there is no competition with other rail-
roads. 1t seems to be a short-sighted
policy on the part of the railroad COM
panies that this is 80, for reasonably low
rates would stimulate manufacturing
the towns along the lines and largely
increase the business of the railroads

freight yearly under more liberal pol.

freight teams to Rutland pay, the bust.

F c. N. Davenport, of Brattleboro,
who is not wholly unknown to a certain
kind of fame in the state, saw fit TO
"pitch into" the management of the
new Brattleboro and Whitehall narrow
gauge railroad, making all sorts of
awful charges against them and the road
they are building. He does not seem
to have had any facts at hand when he
wrote his illumination, and the conse-
quence is that he is getting very badly
excoriated by the friends of the road

Falls boys are not an exception to the
general rule. Ono of our wealthy citi.

The King of Burmah, disguised with
the scarcity of liquor at Mandclay,
thinks of having distillery set up in
his palace. If a certain Michigan sem
ator, who shall be nameless, hears of
this, he will probably petition the Gov
eminent to make Burmah first-class
mission, and give him an appointment
thereto.-[Awfully funny item from the
Argus.
Very likely; and if Tilden or any
other Democrat should succeed in ciph-
cring himself into the next admits
tration, wouldn't there be just the
craziest sort of a universal Democratic
rush for that same mission?

pThe vigorous attempt to enforce
the liquor law at White River junction
noticed in another column, is worthy OF
Imitation In a number of towns in this
county. Middlebury especially needs
visitation that will at least check the
open drunkenness that is fast becoming
common on the streets. Under our law
no man has a right to sell to another
the means of getting drunk. Whoever
does so Is criminal, and public senti-
ment should SO brand him and so pun-
ish him. No man has a right to make
a disorderly community, to send out
upon our streets drunken men to insult
or annoy passers-by, or to injure the
good name and reputation of the town.
If liquor drinking is the handspring of
nine-tenths flour disorders and crimes !:
II it largely reduces the general well
fare by pauperizing men who should
be producers adding to the general
prosperity, and burdens the public
with their support; If it brings wretch
edness to the families of its victims !;
I'M short, If 1t is deadly evil, and
only evil, without compensating good
and everyone admits that il is all
this-it is difficult to understand
the squeamishness which seems to DOS
sess every citizen at the idea of yigor-
ously taking hold of the nuisance and
iaboring for Its suppression. 1t is true
that there are so-called good citizens
who incidentally violate the liquor law
in the course of their business, but in
many Of the drug stores which do this
1t will be found that they sell only to
so-cailed temperance men and reputable
citizens who, they have reason to be.
lieve, would not make bsd use ofliouor.
The law designates place where all
alchoholic liquors can be properly OBJ
tanned, and every man who OH the plea
OF "respectability" induces a careful
druggist to violate the law ought to
forfeit all consideration from law.abid-
ing citizens. If this class would actin.
ally be what they would appear to be,

pear. Then. If any druggist should
continue to sell wilfully to drinkers,
there would remain none of the pres
ent tendency TO excuse them. To be
sure, they are not cxcusable for violat-
ing the law under any plea. Neither is
the hotel keeper. Men in these oc-
equations ought to see the hinderance
they are to the triumph of the best in
terests of the community. They ought
to see and feel that they alone are the
excuse for the violation of the law
with which the community is afflicted.
If they would stop their illegal selling,
all the reckless and irresponsible dealers
would very soon be obliged to do the
same, or suffer worse than they have
been made to suffer yet. If this con-
sideration occurs to the respectable"
violators of the law, they cannot excuse
themselves. That there is demand
for intoxicating liquor is no excuse.
There is demand for obscene litera-
ture, for burglars tools, but none but
criminals undertake to supply these de-
mands. Public opinion ought to brand
in the same way those who undertake
to supply an unlawful demand for Ii
quor. The hotel keeper who says he
cannot do business without selling IL
quor does not excuse himself in the eyes
of sensible citizens. If his statement is
true, then there is no call to continue
the hotel business. No business which
depends upon the sale of liquor for its
existence deserves to live. But il
would probably be found that where
there is any need of hotel, 1t can
support itself legitimately, and that the
sale of liquor is resortcd to merely &c
increase receipts which are already
profitable.
The alternative before the public is
simply this: Either the law must be
enforced strictly and impartially, or we
must give up the struggle and admit
that society exists merely for the profit
and prey of rumsellers.
