Law and Order.

The order-ioving and law-abiding cit izens of Canaan Valley are greatly pleas ed, and rejoice at the result of the re- cent trial of George Thompson before Esq Bennett, for selling liquor.
 They have for a long time endured the disgrace until the nuisance became in- tolerable, ana the indignation of the better portion of the community-not only of Canaan Valley but of the sur rounding orhoods-becume thor oughly aroused, and they went to work in earnest, with firm and steadfast resolution to put stop to the accused business.
 The result is most satisfactory, not only to the people here but they have the gratifying assurance from some of the best and most influential of our townsmen and taxpayers, that they are fully justified in the course they have taken to get rid of the nuisance that has cursed this place so long, notwIthstand- ing the muttered grumblings of few ram sympathizers at the necessary cost to the town.
 True the trial has made something of a bill of expense, but the benefits to be derived from the suppression of the rum traffic among us, will much more than compensate for the email increase of our tax list; at any rate there is un expressed determination on the part of this community to suffer no more rum to be sold here.
 To some it may seem that the fines imposed and the sentence of imprison- ment by the court in each of the twen- ty-two cases, are rather severe, but when we take into consideration the repeated warnings md the prosecutions that have followed !; the clemency of the courts ; the solemn promises made, only to be violated again and again; the persistent determination and the open and often expressed defiance of all authority, can we say-until the full penalty of the law Is carried out-that justice is more than satisfied; or when the convicted shall be compelled to acknowledge that the way of the trausgressor is hard Until then the people of Canaan Valley may pity, but they have no sympathy for one who has so long been the disturber of their peace and the cause of so much sorrow and misery.

The Liquor Question.

The trial of George Thompson of Canaan Valley for allegal liquor selling was concluded last Friday. He was con victed on 23 cases and Justice Bennett imposed the full penalty, viz. fine of S2220 and costs, also A months in jail. No appeal was taken, and Friday after noon Mir Thompson was taken to Litch- field jail.
 As will be seen by the article headed Claw and Order" the residents of Can aan Valley think they have gained avic tory. Time will tell who has gained victory. Some think that MT Thomp- son was prosecuted for certain purpose not yet understood by majority of our townspeople. We have heard the opin- ion expressed that certain parties want this town to vote license next fall, and think that when the tax payers see what this Thompson trial has cost the town and into whose pockets the money has gone they will be 10th to be taxed an- other year to pay the expense of prose- cutting the liquor sellers and to avoid such taxes would vote license, which is just the result certain parties are work ing for, and the opinion is also express ed that in case the town voted license only one or two men in town would be granted a hcense,and these men would have monopoly of the rum traffic, and then the unlicensed dealers would be prosecuted same as this year. So, after all, the town would be heavily taxed to support certain officials and suppress H. legal liquor selling.
 We mention these opinions as express ed to us so that our townspeeple can have time to investigate the subject be- fore next town meeting.
 Our own opinion is: the peace and quiet, the feeling of security that this village has enjoyed the past year is worth more than it costs to suppress illegal rum selling, and when we compare the morals of no license town with the morals of license town, our taxes seem 1nslSnlncant ln view ot the good accom- plished by prohibiting the sale of in- toxicating drinks.
 There is one thing, however, that our townspeople, especially Canaan Valley people, do not wish to submit to, viz after working for years to prevent Geo. Thompson from selling liquor, and now after spending several hundred dollars of the towns money to convict Thomp- son and place him where he cannot sell liquor, the temperance people do not wish to be sold out or swapped off to make political capital, neither do they want to sign a petition to iberate Thompson, even if by so doing the town might gain few paltry dollars.

 AN EARTHQUAKE shock was felt Sun day, in nearly all the cities and towns along the Atlantic coast, and as far west as Ohio In New York it was felt by almost everybody, yet did no damage it lasted about 15 seconds.
 In Philadelphia the shock was felt in every section of the city. In Baltimore 1t was felt, but no damage done, ply knocking ornaments off the shelves. In Maryland'it was noticed more in the mountainous parts, and in the mining towns the people were badly scared. It created great alarm among the hotel guests at Long Branch. There were six shocks felt in Boston and some very heavy ones. The substantially built houses swayed and caused 8 great deal of alarm ard uneasiness. Lounges and beds and other pieces of furniture tip ped and were moved from their places.
 It was only slightly felt in Washing ton. It was severely felt along the Hudson, and at various points along the Catskills the rumbling was terrifying in the extreme. One story recounts that the guests at the Hotel Kaaterskill were badly frightened and that tue president even turned pale.
 It was also severely felt in New Jer- sey, and all through the state of Con- necticut 1t was severe. Houses were shaken, dishes thrown from shelves and tables, and broken.
 Another shock was felt Monday, but not so severe as the day before, although 1t was sufficient to create an excitement
