MUST PAY THEIR LICENSE.

The question which is agitating the
minds of our citizens is what steps
does the council intend taking in re-
gard to enforcing the law against the
liquor dealers?" Whether this honor
able body purpose to allow an injus-
tice done in permitting the five
liquor dealers, spoken Of in the open
letter last week. to sell spirituous liquor
openly under beer license. when
Thos. Rapley has paid full license
1t should be the duty of every honor
able citizen to do his utmost in enforc-
ing the laws of the state and make
those who are not so disposed live up
to the letter of the law. We called in
to the Commercial House Saturday
last on business and were assailed by
the landlord for signing the petition to
the council TO return to Thos. Rapley
the 500 lie has paid in excess of the
others. lie informed us that he
would boycOtte every man whose name
appears OH that petition. We appeal
to the good citizens of Brockway Cen
ire to investigate the matter and learn
whether Mr.. Hickey has paid one dol
lar of tax for the privilege of selling
beer or liquors. Now that this matter
is started we want TO see these men
who are violating the law, by keeping
their places open on Sunday and after
hours and selling liquor without a
proper license brought to time. 1t on
ly needs an, united effort of the law
abiding citizens to bring about such a
state of things.

ANOTHER OPEN LETTER.

EDITOR ExPOSITOR- Have read a Pc
ton to the common council of village
for reimbursement to Th0s. Rapley of
800 that he has lawfully paid for sell
ing whisky, for the reason that others
in violation of law are PERMITTED to
sell, not having paid the lawful tax of
S3OO-only 500 for that privilege
upon the grounds of justice and fair
ness. have no desire to interfere with
the lawfully constituted authorities of
the village, viz. the president and mar
shall, i'll any private arrangements they
have made with those that have not
paid their tax, nor who are selling with
out even color Of right. for it may be
wisdom Oh their part to let the law be
openly violated and the revenues Of the
village diminished to the extent OF
500 or 800. But one of two things
must occur. namely, the $500 the vii
lage authorities see fit in their wisdom
not to collect, must be collected by as
sessment on the taxable property of
the village, or borrow the money and
pay interest. How the property own
ers may feel about this matter ! do
not know. But the writer believes
that village debt for any purpose
would prevent its growth. Business
men would not invest in real estate or
manufacturing enterprises where high
rate of taxation is obtained. The cour-
Gil, us the representatives of the people
of the village and the taxpayers also. is
looked to either to cause all persons,
plying the business of selling whisky
and beer, who have either paid nothing
or who have paid only apart. to pay
what they lawfully ought To. or pay
back to Mr.. Rapley the 800 he paid In
excess of any other person engaged in
same business in village. A CITIZEN.

Die cracking OF the ice could be heard for
locks, and hundreds OF people visited the

rty, and in less than an hour the land
contiguous to the river was submerged.
At Herick's flats the river overlooked its
,anks and soon covered the entire country

distance OF half mile. The water was
rom three to five feet deep, and all houses
we're flooded Families were obliged 10
move out in boats, and the roads were abb
olutely impossible. Nearly all the boat
iouses on the river, with their contents,
AVE been destroyed, and abutments and
