Up to the year 1870 the liquor law of this
State provided that all liquors seized should
be turned over to the town authorities for
inspection and for the delivery of such of
them as we're found to be pure to the town
agencies for sale for medicinal, mechanical
AMI manufacturing purposes. In that year
an amendment was adopted which provided
thai all liquors seized. no matter what their
character, be destroyed by pouring upon the

tion to the legislature calls attention to sew
eral Inconsistencies In the Revised Statutes
which have sprung from these two acts, aud

90 In the interest of economy, of consistency,
of common sense and of the common goodv
rec mmends the adoption of the following
amendment:
Section "A of chapter 81 of the Revised Statutes
il amended SO as to read as follows:
Sec. A. All liquors and vessels declared for
feited by any uuder this chapter shall by or
der of the court r-ndering nnsl Judgment thereon,
be delivered to the mayor and aldermen of any
city, selectmen of any town, and SCISSORS of aDy
y'autation to which they were forfeited.
Said officers shall examine such liquors, and if
they determine that any portions are fl TO be sold
for medicinal mechanical or manufacturing pur-
posss they shall deliver such portions to the
agent Of their CITY, town or plantation, TO be by
said agent sold in accordance with this ch ,pter
II tney fnd any oftions of the unfit for such
uses. they shall destroy the same by pouring them
upon the ground.
All vessels forfeited under this chapter may be
sold by taid Ulcers at pubic private sale, and
the proceeds thereof pad into the Treasury OF such
city. town or plantation.
The amendment, it will be observed, re-
stores the law to the condition in which it
existed previous to 1870, that is, it allows the
municipal authorities to turn over pure
liquors to the town agencies for sale for med
icinal and M chanical purposes. Such
restoration would seem to be in the interest

REMEDY alone effected it. We used nothing else

Dictionary of Miracles. With Illustra-

LII. D. (Philad4lphia: J. B. Lippincott &
Co.; Portland: Loring, Short & Harmon.
This dictionary of miracles presents to the
reader much curious matter which has been
gathered by the indefatigable author from
innumerable sources, and brought into the
compass of duodecmo book of less than
six hundred pages. One of the interesting
features of the book is the comparison of the
Scripture miracles with alleged miracles of
earlier and later times: thus we find Abra-
ham offering up bis son Isaac compared
with Agamemnon offering up his daughter
Iphegenia, and Ahab coVeting Naboih's
Vineyard with the Emperor Eudoxia covet-
ing and taking possession of the vineyard of
a widow about A. D. 400. All the miracles
of Scripture are thus take q up and treated.
The volume is one useful in any library.

the orations are brief and valuable biogra-
