Saturday night there was s'fine
chance" of drunken men on our
streets. but they didn't get worked
up to the fighting point.
We hayn't heard from Porter's
Bridge lately. Is friend Kautz doing
no business that he keeps so quiet?
He started in business we'll and
there we're great hopes of healthy
boom in the sleepy region of the

The eighth district too is distress
ingly quiet. Money is scarce every
where and that has depressing
effect on trade. Even the saloon
business suffers from the "stringency

Wall street. And the saloon is the
last thing to suffer. for if there is
nickle going it is bound to have it.

In time these new factories will
doubtless give a good account of
themselves.
Elkton "loveliest village of the
plain" still carries the banner, the
Whig's report being unusually full
last week, and is doubtless enconrag-
ing to the true friends of temper ance

license. Below is the "record OF
