Perhaps the pleasartest, certainly one
of the pleasantest, little social events during
many months past was the celebration OF
the glass wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs. j. M.
Lansden. celebrated at their residence Mon
day night. II WAS the fifteenth anniversary
of their wedding and Mr.. and Mrs. Lansden
had decided to make the occasion one OF
quiet little enter ainment oisome OF their
friends. A few invitations were sent out,
but nearly all of them were declined upon
various prctexts, which somewhat mystltied
Mrs. Llnsden. All was explained, however
when on Monday night thirty or thirty five
ladies and gentlemenl most of them Tearing
suspicious looking packages, called and
took possession of the residence, spread a
magnificent repast and had jolly time tor
several hours Several beautiful presents
were among the suspicious packages,
among them being a cake basket, cara
receiver and pair of vases, all Of fancy
workmanship and appropriately inscribed.
Part of the time was spent in the production
of fine music, vocal and instrumental, among
the former being John Anderson, My Jo,
| john, sung by Mrs. Lansden in her pecu.
| livrly excellent manner. The occasion will
| doubtless be as a green oasis in the lives of
Mr.. and Mrs. Lansden
We have taken the trouble to look up
the fate of the bill introduced in the egis-
lature last year, providing for submitting
to the people of the state an amendment to
the constitution prohibiting the sale of in-
toxicating liquors, which DR.. Petrie in his
last communication charged Mr. Linegar
with having voted against. We find that
the bill, being House Bill No. $50, was
introduced by Mr.. George W. Paisley, OF
Montgomery couoty, on Monday the 7th OF
March, 1881. The title Of the bill was
read and the bill was referred to the
committee on license. In this committee
the bill rested until March 3lst, when "Mr.
McWiliams, from the committee on license,
to whom was referred House Bill No, $780,
being "a bull for an act to provide for voting
for and against the sale Of intoxicating
liquors. reported the same back, aud re-
commended that it do pass. Nothing was
done with the bill then, nor until Saturday,
April 9th, when the bill was
read at large for the first time and
ordered to second rcading.n And this Is
all the record there is of the bill. Though
THE BULLETIN was not quite right IN say
ing that the bill was quashed in the COM
mttee, the fact remains that the bill was
| quashed and never came to vote, and
| Mr. Linegar could, therefore, not
have voted against it, as the DR.. charged.
Several other propositions with reference to
the liquor traffic were introduced by differ
ent members. Among them was n rcsoIu-
llOH Wy MI, NIldlLiP, NUlCIi Iluu lllc suuiC wv
ject as Mr.. Paisey'S bill. This resolution
waslaid over under the rules, and so far as We
have been able to see from the index of the
house journal, this was the end Of it. There
is no further record of it in the journal. q
1t is encouraging to vote that the anX'
iety to render the city more secure
against water, both over, AMI underground
has not disappeared with the danger aud in
convenience to which the city was subject.
ed during last spring, The city council Is
now fairly started in the work Of providing
all necessary safe guards against aqueous
evils. Its instruction to the street commit
tee to proceed Immediately with the work
of improving the new levce, is commenda
bic and is simply a compliance with the
popular demand. When this work shal
have been accomplished there will be nc
further cause to aDprehend any danger
