Eaitor, County RecOrd:-
At the last session of the Gen i.
eral Assembly an Act was passed
requiring every person soliciting
emigrants to procure license
from the secetary OF State by pay
ing Il fee of $500, and to procure
such license for each and every
county in which said solicitor may
desire to obtain emigrants. A
failure by any person who solicits
emigrants TO procure said license
for each and every county he may
visit subjects the offender to a
fine of not less than 5000, or four
months imprisonment, or both. at
the discretion Of the courts; and
not more than four hundred dol.
lars fine and two years. imprison-
ment for each and every offence
in every county in the State
1t is the duty of every good citi-
zen 20 see that the law be rigidly
enforced. There is a class OF peo-
pie who are doing a vast amount
of harm in demoralizing our peo
pie by false representation and
destroying the farming interests
by the wholesale exodus of the
laboring Glass, which IS the hops
and salvation of our county. The
law goes into immediate effect.

The man objected to his house be-
coming kirk, arguing:
1.-The more praying there is, the
less drinking there will be, and
don't want that"
Sir Walter suggested the omis-
sion of the letter "r" in pray. Sc
that the motion might read
Drink, weary traveller: drink ana

was delighted, and hundreds of hi,

sorrow that whilst drinking and

Doctors Largely Responsible.

American physicians are, large
ly responsible for the increased
use of all kinds Of liquor among
American women, says one of our
contemporaries. Tley prescribe
siimulants in large numb.r of
cases of ihvalidism among women,
with the inevitable result that,
whether salutary or not for the
sick, the habit grows among the
heathful. 1t is not a long step
from hops to corn, from the brew
to the still.

What Whiskey Can Do.

A friend of temperance, says
the Christian Herald, put upon
our table an advertising card from
a restaurant in Philadelphia. Ii
proposes to regale and refresh the
people in the "Clty of Brotherly
Love-" The liquor shop thus ad
vertised is very near Independ-
ence Hall, and persons visiting
that patriotic spot can take it in
their excursion if they are very
dry. 1t is we'll for those people
who never drink, to understand
what privileges they miss, and
also what philanthropisls the
rum-sellers really are.

JUDGE DAYS TELEGRAM.

Washington. Nov. 27.-Throughout
the peace negotiations. which are still
pending in Paris. the president has ex-
pressed confidence that a treaty. salts
factory to the United States, would be
drafted and signed. From time to time
assurances of substantial progress to-
ward that end have been received from
the American commissioners. To-day
advices were received by the presi-
dent from MIR. Day. president OF the
American commission. reiterating the
assurance he had previously given the
president of the early and successful
conclusion of the work OF the commits
sion.
Judge Day, II is understood. states
positively that the Spanish commission
ers formally will accept. perhaps to-
morrow. the terms of the United States
and that a treaty drawn along the lines
OF the agreement reached will be drawn
and signed in a few days. The dispatch
from Judge Day was the first abso-
lutely definite statemencNs to the con-
clusion of the labors OF the commission
thai has been received, and, quite nat
uraliy, Il afforded the president and his
advisers considerable satisfaction.
It is probable that the president will
discuss in his message TO congress,
which will be delivered one week from
tomorrow. the successful efforts OF the
administration I'm the negotiation OF a
peace treaty. although there Is a posi-
bility tha the treaty itself may not
have been signed at the time.

West Virginia Is usurping the trade hith-
erto held by PittsburR by giving a rate
materially lower than the local operators
can. In fact. offers have been made by
West Virginia mine owners to P~ittsburg
operators to furnish all the coal wanted

made possible by a lower mining scale
