From this it appears that there is one
county, Grand Isle, where prohibition
reigns supreme. Washington county is
soaked in rum and the health OF the people
of Windham and Windsor counties is moth
ing to boast of.
1t further appears from this report that
the state is not getting very rich out OF the
business. The statute says that if ''there
is found balance in favor of the town or
city in excess of ten per cent of the total
sale of liquor for the year, such excess
shall be paid into the state treasury" But
running an agency in most towns is so ex-
pensive that there is very little excess to
pay over.
Speaking of the states rum business the
st. Albans Messenger says:
The sales of liquor by town liquor agents
in this state tor the past two years
amounted to S1S1, ,597 sc and this, too,
without the sale of a pennyworth in one
county of the fourteen. At this rate,
every man, woman and child in the other
thirteen counties averaged 80 cents for
liquor for medicinal" purposes during the
biennial term. Washington county alone
spent 25,6SS.93 or about 81 cents per
capita There is something radically
wrong with a law or with conditions that
will produre such state of affairs. No
man whose judgment is worth cent be-
lieves that all this liquor was used for the
purposes authorized by law. more especially
in a state whose strong disposition toward
total abstinence is supposed to deny the
use of liquor as medicine. Either the state
is not as temperate as it pretends, or the
fio,1res tell vrono stories

Why is it that Governor Grout has hon

Judge Rowell is making it hot for the
prosecuting officers and the rumsellers in
Rutland. The states attorney up that
way is playing the old gag Of letting off
men charged with 80 or 40 cffenses by
pleading guilty to five or six offtnses and
taking light fine. 1t appears in some of
the cases that the city attorney who prose-
cuted in the lower court is retained to de-
fend in the county court. Judge Rowell
does not like the looks and is stirring up
the bears.

HAvRE DE GRACE, March lS.-Rev. &. San

VI. +. Church, this city, on Sunday morning
and evening last.
A house and lot belonging to Mr.. Herman
c. Osmond was offered for sale at the Hartford
House by o. Il. Rodgers, attorney, on Satur-
day last, and was bid in by Mr.. Hollis Court
ney for 81 $50.
A petition containing over four hundred
names, principally OF the taxpayers of Havre
de Grace, was sent to Annapolis on Monday
last, urging the Hartford delegation to have
the bill then before the House, authorizing
the Mayor and Council of Havre de Grace to
contribute 81 500 towards the cost of 4 new
school building in this city, and to issue bonds
to the amount of $4,000 to raise money for
the purpose and to repair the city buildings,
passed as it now stands without amendment
or alteration, and as soon possible. This
action on the part of our progressive citizens
was taken as Il result of an anonymous cirCu-
lar signed "CitiZens, " crticising the action Of
the Mayor aud Council and misrepreSenting
the bill above referred to, which appeared II
a late hour Saturday evening. The promoters
of the circular not satisfied with the miSead
ing circular, again on Tuesday sent out a form
Of letter to be signed and forwarded to Sena-
tor Michael, protesting against the bill when
it comes up in the Senate, by those who are
opposed to the city issuing bonds for the
above purpose.

escape from asphyxiation by coal gas on Sun

only to be found again on Monday morning
in ii much more alarming condition, one Of the

physician thought it due from poison, but upon
