CELLAR GROCERIES NOT WANTED.
 There are some men in RoxOury, if re- port be true, chat need to sit down seri- ously with themselves and ask if it be right or manly to sell cider to their brethren, who cannot resist temptation, but buy the accursed stuff, get royalty full and disgrace themselves and the town by their after conduct. 1t isn't the man who gets drunk who is the worst enemy to himself and the community, but the man who will demean himself to sell this hellish potion and without seemingly 9 qualm of conscience, see his victims make themselves and their own homes place of wretchedncss. It ia understood that some move is contemplated to put stop to the business as now carried on. Let us hope that such a step may not be nee e88ary, but rather, let every man be tue to his best convictions and the trouble will cease.
