Pretty soon . mother with two or three
little children took the seat, and what q
marvel she was to theml They Rugged
her and kissed her and quarreled over
her while they ate sticky gingerbread,
till at last, when they left, she did not
look quite as fresh as before. The
mother had . very hard time cosxing
them to leave her when they got off.
Then q gentleman came, who put her
into the rack overhead, and she rode
there all the afternoon, with one arm
dangling down, and her pretty French
boots sticking out. All the little ones
looked up at her and laughed. and WON

When night came, and the train

There Is no special objection to
waving ones handkerchief from q car
window at q pretty girl under an apple
tree so long as the train is standing still;
but when it begins to move it is better
to let the girl do the waving. This
general proposition, though the terms
are somewhat different, was neatly, con-
cisely demonstrated by Mr.. C. N. Hath
away, of Cooper's Plains, Pa, whose
arm came in contact with switch spear,
causing him to faint dead away with

Mrs. Bright walked up and down the

"Here 'tis!" But as Mr.. Barton
penciled it off his face grew blank. It
ran:
"No such child on train. She got of

A majority of The citizens of Wood
stock, pelilioned the council 10 refuse
certificates for the granting Of license Ia
sell intoxicating nq LOT in the town. No
one made application to the council for
a certificate, and the council passed the
following resolution:
The petitions Of the representatives
of the various churches, and a large
number Of the citizens. and majority
of the voters Of the town received, and
there being no application for the Ger
uficate of the council gifts consent to
the granting Of license to sell strong or

IS. page so, Acts of Assembly 1874,
said petiuons are respectfully referred
to the County Court OF Shenandoah
County. and it is ordered, that a copy
OF this resolution be appended to said
petitions.
The whole matter was referred to the
Judge Of the County Court without ar
gument on either side, and his Honor
granted the licenses on the ground that
the provision In the charter OF the
town, requiring certificate from the
council, had been repealed by what is
known as the Monfett Liquor Law.
In your local you say. There was
an impression that the local option fea-
ture of our charter had been repealed
BY the Mofett whiskey law,
under the circumstances tie
council deemed it prudent not to op
pose the application" The council
did not act under an impression that
the local option feature OF our charter
had been repealed, for Judge Bird, four
years ago. when this very question was
before him on an appeal from the de-
cision Of the County Court, decided
that the local option feature Of our char
ter had been repealed by the Mofett
ia uor law, and granted license not
xithstaudipg the council refused &c
grant certificates to the applicants.
If this be true, the question had been
decided by the Judge of the Circuit
Court and the Judge OF the County
Court had no discretion in the premises,
and very properly granted licenses.
If Judge Birds decision was MOI
based upon the repeal OF the charter We
are curious 10 know on what it was
based. If the charter was in force, a
certificate was necessary, bat Certidca'
ties were refused by the council, vel
