THE LIQUOR LAW.
An Interesting Question:to be Answered
BY the Supreme Court.

Af ~ OAAS SuPIeu0 OOurC.
Quite an interesting question arose
IN the burlington city court last week
u the case OF state VS.. intoxicating
liquors seized by sheriff Reeves recent.
~ on premises near f. X. Mercier's
store. The officers were armed with
a search warrant to search the prem.
lses on the corner of Bank and Bat
tery streets, supposed to be occupied
by +. X. MERCER. They found no
Intoxicating liquors upon the premises
described in the warrant, but did find
a barrel OF beer some Is or 20 rods
from the premises, with some traces
OF evidence that the beer had recently
been removed from the premises de-
scribed in the warrant. The officers
seized the beer and apprehended Jo-
seph Dumas, who was in possession of
the premises, as the owner of the beer,
A hearing was had and Nj. Ii. Alex.
ander, as counsel for Dumas, raised
the question whether, under the new
law, a Judgment could be rendered
against his client for the costs Of con-
tiscation, it being contended in his
behalf that no such judgment could
be rendered, as the liquor was not
seized upon the premises described in
the warrant. The court rendered
judgment against him, and he except
cd, and the case goes to the supreme
court. The question was also raised
as to the right of a jury trial in this
class of cases.

Verdi, if we may believe the Italian
papers just TO hand, has, by an innocent
little expedient, at last induced Boito
to put the finishing touches TO his OPP
era, "Verone, the long expected sue
cessor TO "Mefistofele Some months
ago, it seems. Boito brought Verdi the
sketches for two libretti, "Purgatory"
and Hades, both, Of course, based on
Dante Verdi, however, laughiDgly re-
fused to look ut any more words for mu-
sic from Boito's pen until "Verone"
was completed. A week or two since,
therefore, Boito brought the venerable
maestro another bulky package 1t was
the score of "Yerone, and tho two
spent some hours III playing it over. As
Boito was leaving, to Verdi's aston'sh-
ment, he likewise produced the complete
libretto of "Purgatory" less an opera,
of course than dramatic cantata.
Whether, at his advanced age, the cont
poser of al Trovatore' will undertake
to set so imposing subject TO music is,
however, altogether another matter. -

MILK SOLD BY The PUG.
Solid Frozen Cubes OF the Danish Product
on Sale In London.


Solid Frozen Cubes OF the Danish Product
on Sale In London.
Canada's representative i'll Denmark
reports that during the past year new
industry has been established there
which promises to prove both profitable
and serviceabie, and which might be
followed with equal success ON this side
of the water-viz. the shipment Of fro
zen milk to large cities. A year ago a
Danish merchant experimental in this
direction by taking Danish milk, which
is peculiarly delicate and rich in flavor,
freezing il by the use Of ice and salt,
and sending it in barrels by rail aud
steamer to London. On its arrival the
milk proved TO be as sweet and we'll
tasting as if it had been just drawn
from COW in the middle of Denmark.
The milk was SO much in demand and
proved so profitable an article of COM
merce that the exporter Immediately
took out patent CD the shipment of
frozen milk from Sweden and Denmark
to London. He then sold the patent to
a stock company with large capital,
which, ON Feb. last, bought one of
the largest Swedish creameries, convert
ed it into factory, and, having put in
a special freezing apparatus, began, on
May /, the export of frozen milk in large
quantities.
When the milk is received from the
farmers it is Pasteurized, that is, heat
ed to rs degrees c., and then immedi-
ately cooled off to about 10 degrees O.,
and then the freezing is commenced.
Half the milk is filled into cans and
placed i'll freezing apparatus, where it
will be thoroughly frozen in the course
of three hours. The frozen milk is then
filled into barrels of pine, the only kind
of wood that can be used. The barrels,
however, are only half filled with this
frozen milk, the balance being filled
with the unfrozen milk. This way of
packing has proved to be the only prac
teal one, as part Of the milk has to be
frozen in order to keep the whole cold,
and part has TO be in flowing state in
order to get the barrels exactly full,
which is necessary in order to avoid too
much shaking up on tho road, by which
the cream would be turned into butter.
The floating masses Of ice at the same
time prevent the unfrozen milk from set
Ting the cream. Milk which is treated
in this way has proved to keep quite
fresh for 20 days. Every barrel holds
1000 pounds of milk, and twice week
there will he shipped 80 barrels, making
in all about leo, 600 pounds of milk
week
The milk is shipped to Newcastle and
from there by rail to large manufactur-
ing cities, where it is sold in the streets
or in retail stores. 1t is reported that
the patent has been bought for Ireland
also at cost Of 5000. geo, which proves
how much the stock company expects
from this new.enterprise.
The time may not be far away when
the dairy farms Of the New England
and western states may be sending, not
butter and milk, but frozen milk and
cream. to the large cities Of both CONT
nents, philadelphia Record.

School Book Swindling.

Dodgeville sun: "There seems to
be much need of looking after the
school book swindlers in this county,
and especially in this city. Last
spring, just before the graduating ex-
ercises in our high school, pupils
were forced to buy books that they
did not need, under the threat that
if they did not buy them they would
not be advanced in their classes, and
would not be permitted to graduate.
1t is currently reported that MEM
bers of the graduating class of our
high school were required, ten days
before the close of the term, to buy
books, offered for sale by some Of the
teachers in that school, and We're
told that if they did not buy them
they could not graduate. We are
satisfied that the attention of some
Of the school board of this city was
called to these facts, and they did
nothing to stop the abuse. Mr.. Ben
Jones, who was then a member of
the firm of Roberts & Jones, in
formed us that the books sold to the
school last spring had a clear profit
of at least one hundred and fifty
dollars. The blame of all this un-
iustifiable proceeding was put upon
one of the lady teachers, and she
has left town, so that nothing was
done about ii. We do not believe
that this teacher was entitled to the
censure imputed 10 her. We are of
the opinion that others OF our city
made a profit on the sale OF these
books. There is no question but
that large portion of the books re-
CURED to be purchased We're unnec-
essary. If it could be certain that
such a swindle would never be per-
petrated again the matter might be
let drop"
While there has been no crooked
ness in school book deals in this
city, such as the Sun speaks of, SO
far as heard, there has been com
plant of the burdensome expense of
school books here as elsewhere. 1t
is an oppression of the people that
demands investigation and correc-
ton.
