Literally Granted.

UNIoNTowN, March 10.-Judge
Ingram heard the license applica-
tions to-day and granted or centin-
ued all those against which no re-
monstrances were filed. Opposition
is manifested to a number on the
ground of alleged violation Of law
and these are not yet decided. Some
express great surprise at this liberal
granting of licenses. The Judge be-
ing unacquainted, he inferred the
licenses were wanted where no pro-
tests were made. The temperance
people will likely learn lesson
from this.

that the men will commence their under

There is very little machinery on theground,
