HE STARTED HIM.

Among the thrilling incidents Of the
siege Of Petersburg VA during the late
war, related by correspondent Of the
Free Press, now and then an amusing
one occurs. The writer tells his readers
Of bow a darkey utilized" the situation
to get his cart out Of the mud.
1t is remembered by dozen residents
that one afternoon during the investment
negros horse and cart were "stalled"
on the same street running up from the
depot. The horse tugged and strained
to no purpose, and the driver. instead Of
wearing himself out by using the whip
or straining his muscles by lift on the
wheels, walked across the street and sat
down in the shade.
Cant you bulge him." asked a Pc
destrian.

FOR LICENSE:
REFUSED.
REMARKS OF THE COURT.

In the matter of the applications of D. +.
Curry, William Peifcr, and Daniel ..Kchrcs,
for hotel licenses In the borough of Cen
tralia. the records show that these appli.
cants were severally granted hotel licenses
one year ago, and that they each forfeited
such license by neglecting to pay the Ii
cense fee as required by law The act of
assembly provides that payment shall be
made within fifteen days after license gran.
ted, otherwise it is no protection for vio-
lation of the law by selling without a IL
cense.
1t is urged in behalf OF these applicants
that they are to be presumed innocent of a
violation Of law by illegal sale. No doubt
such a presumption would arise in the
case of criminal prosecution, but there is
another presumption of law that is applica-
BILE here. If these parties have neglected
to take up their license because they con.
cluded not to keep hotel, they knew that
such a representation clearly established
would relieve them from the imputation OF
an attempt to defraud the revenue and of
doing an Illicit business under pretense of
having obtained license. If they had
not violated the law by illegal sale, the pre-
sumption is that their interest would have
prompted them to allege and prove to the
court that no wrong was intended or prac-
ticed by them. They failed to comply
with the law requiring their license to
be framed and hung up in their place OF
business. 1t would seem that there must
have been concert of action on the part OF
these landlords. While other licenses in
the county paid what the law required
these three, living in the same town near
together, carried on their business without
Offering to comply with the law, and with
out any attempt at exc use. That the com
munty will be incommoded by the failure
OF these applicants to obtain licenses is not
sufficient ground for granting the applica
tions to persons who have shown wilfu
repudiating the rules by which we have
hitherto been governed in respect to with
holding licenses from applicants proved tC
have violated the law, grant these licenses
We must uphold the law and preserve oul
own consistency by rejecting their applica-
tions. And now May IS, 1888, applications
rejected.
In the matter of Theophilus Evans, ,appli
cant for restaurant license, the evidence
is not sufficient to satisfy the court that !,
is necessary that such license should be
granted at the place indicated in the peti
ton A single witness is called, whose
testimony is that the restaurant is necessa
ry as far as he knows and that Mr.. Evans
is proper person to keep restaurant, as
far as he knows.
We think this evidence insufficient, this
being a new house, to establish its necessi-
ty for the accommodation of the public
and we therefore reject the application.

A Daring Highway Robbery.

On Thursday OF last week Levi Michael
OF Mainville, drove TO Orangeville with
one horse, for load Of lumber. Between
eight and nine o'clock in the evening he
reached the Espy ferry on his way home,
and at the trestlc work on the other side OF
the river he was Joined by two young men,
who walked up the hill beside the wagon,
engaged In conversation with him. Each
OF them had a bottle OF whiskey. They
offered him some but he merely tasted it,,
as 1t was vile stuff. On the top of the
hill the young men got on the wagon and
rode some distance, when Mr. Michael dis
covered that one OF them had hand in
his pocket. He struggled to prevent the
man from getting his pocket book, where
upon the other one struck Michael In the
face, and pummelled him until he was in
sensible. His face was bruised, and one
tooth knocked out The men then took
his money and left. They got $152, made
up of three $40 bills, a check for $22,
some five and ten dollar bills, and little
small change. Mr. Michael had taken the
money with him to buy n wagon, but de-
cided not to pay for it until it was deliver
ed. After the robbers left him he was in
sensible for some time, and it was one
o'clock at night before he reached home
In the conversation going up the hill one
of the men said his name was Bredbenncr
A young man by that name was arrested
the following day, and taken before a Jus.
tice, but he clearly proved his innocence
and was discharged. This is one Of the
boldest robberics ever perpetrated in this
county

Peter Helfron. who plead guilty to the
charge of assault and battery with intent
to kill Michael Haley at Centraia, was
brought before the court on Monday morn
ing for sentence, Upon being asked by
the Judge II he had anything to say why
sentence should not be pronounced upon
him, he said that he waJ drunk when the
act was committed and had no recollection
OF what he did, and hoped the Court would
not be hard on him. Judge Elwell said
intoxioaton was no excuse for crimes il
was rather an aggiavation, The man who
voluntarily makes himself drunk and then
commits an act that endangers the life OF
his fellow citizens, is not fit person to be

posed was fine Of 800 and the costs of
