A few days ago the Mayor of
Augusta issued q proclamation Or
dcring all the saloons and places
where liquor was sold closed for
the day, which was OF itself con-
lcsSiou that the law is fagrandy
and habitually violated in that city.
The case Is even worse in Ver-
mont. The legislature Of that
state at its late session passed the
most ferocious prohibi,ory law in
existence, 1t aims to make So
cial outlaw Of every man who sells
liquor; to break him up financial
ily, and ruin his family. But the
law is SO harsh that the authorities
do not daro enforce it, and liquor

general as ever. The landlord At
the hotel in Burlington showed the
correspondent how liquor was OBJ
taincd. The latter moved up to IN
innocent looking bar, adorned

most amazing device was in u.s. in
