would have to carry its ratiOns with it -
Not about provisions, or rations are in
writing new but if man comes to Mil
ton, and wants any stimuant he will
have to bring it with him tor the pre-
sent we cannot tell what the future will
bring forth.
We noticed two 'drummers", the
other day, one of whom looked as though
he had brought "his along" talking
about the deserted look of the Ponder
House We caught a remark of the rosy
faced chap when he said 1--WE shall have
to educate the people up to it." Mean
ing, l thought up to the "new order Of
things" We think most OF the people
have dropped into the new "order Of
things as nicely as though they had
been habituated to them for years. And
indeed, if we had not we should want
better missionaries, than the chap re-
fered to above to educate us to the
change. The closing of the bar, and
reading rooms of the hotels, doubtless,
goes hard with few chronic night loaf
ers, who had been in the habit of leav-
ing their homes and lounging in these re-
sorts until closing time. Now they hang

ing, their bodies drawn up, and their
hands in their pockets, until they are
compelled by the force of circumstances
to 90 home. There are few persons re-
ported to be at a loss what to do with
their money on Saturday nights and buy
clothing or something good to eat; ; in
stead of rum. We have had no Saturday
night brawls lately, although there are as
many people in town on these nights as
heretofore in consequence the town
bailiff has nothing to do, and talks of re-
signing and the justice-Of-the-peace con-
templates going into politics. Is the
Millennium dawning? 1t does appear so;
for small debtors are paying their bills
and everything seems to be moving along
within the even growth of trade.
1t is the opinion of many who have
been habituated to the use of liquor, and
others that the closing of the bar rooms
is the best thing that was ever done Tor
Milton.
