The Most DANGEROUS.

The pool-rooms of cities, in full

fraught with ruin to the youth of the

The profit from poultry is no
longer q matter of doubt, as it has
been proved from facts drawn from
experience, aud from the most relia-
bic sources, covering period of at
least 30 years. Fowls viii not be
profitable if they are allowed to
shift for themselves, and live in a
state of semi-starvation summer and
winter, nor will they benefit the
keeper much if ne neglects to house
them and to care and provide for
their little wants. But to make
poultry-keeping a remunerative pur-
suit, a person must attend to it,
and look to the well-being of his
poultry.-IPoultry Monthly.

Roberts Torpedo Patent.

UTICA, March 3O-In the torpedo
case to day Spencer Clinton, of Buffalo,
made a formal application for tenn
porary Injunction restraining the use
of Roberts patent. A. B. Richmond,
of Meadville, Pa, opposed it in five
hour speech, introducing the testimony
of Harvey and others, Of Marietta, O.,
taken by commission. This evidence
was that Harvey and others used in
1861 the same process as that patented
by Roberts in 1866, on which the
Pennsylvania courts granted an lnjune-
ton, and that the patent expired, and
the reissue contained no new principle.
Hamilton Ward followed. charging
that the efforts Ct Roberts to buy Har
yer threw lurid glares backward over
the proceedings Of plaintilf for years.
He claimed that the new patent was
reissUed, and that reports Of the case
in the United States Supremo Court
during the last two years show every
reissue Of the patent declared invalid.
Justice Cox refu sed to grant the
preliminary injunction on the ground
that the cases were moi just the same
as passed upon by the Pennsylvania
courts, but he provided that each OF
the fifty defendants should furnish
within ten days, $4,000 security for
any damages they might infict be,
tween this time and May 20, the day
the patent expires, otherwise the in

Judge McDermitt on Liquor Lii
cenSeS.

Judge McDermitt, of Mercer, has
again stirred up sentiment and COM
ment by the PRONUNCIATION of some
rules governing the granting of licenses
in his district. He will hereafter grant
no applicant renewal of license to
keep hotel or eating house who shall
have sold intoxicants to be carried
away from the premises, and will re-
woke license on proof of such offence.
He claims that this is only a reasona-
bic construction of the license law, and
necessary to prevent improper persons
obtaining liquor through third parties.
Judge McDermtt's action is to prevent
the purveying of liquor by third parties
to the class of common drunkards who,
under the license law, are denied ordi-
nary gin privileges. Those sufferers
generally have go-between in the
shape of friend who can stand up
under the "budge," and who can get a
flask loaded, which the two divide in
the nearest alley The Judges rules
are a severe blow at this alley and
