EA Huantingdon licenses were granted last week. Judge Furst was in favor of granting license to the Lester, and a few other hotels, and re- fusing all «+t ers. In this he was over- ruled by the associates, who aid if the two were licensed he rest should be 1i- censed also—all or none. Hence all i censes went over board for Huntingdon county The decision was made by the two as- soci te judues and President Judge Furst who was disposed togrant five or six, and filed a ie gthy dissenting opin- ion. The associate judges «nd the presi- dent judge are prominent temperan e men, and while the former wil not grant a license on moral grounds, the latter be- liev. sit his cuty to grant whe. the ap- plicants come within he requirements of the law. The causes wll be appealed to the supreme court. and s In county no CENTRE THE NEW COERCION BILL. It is evident that the Salisbury Gov- ernment has invited disaster upon itself and the country in its endorsement of Mr. Balfour's Irish Crimes Bill. The re- volt against the measure is spreading and increasing in strength every day, and the probability is that if the bill is passed in its original form it will alien- ate from the many who have upheld ita course in Ireland up to this point. Grovernment Many who are compelled to distrust the policy of Messrs. Gladstone and Parnell with respect to the govern- ment of Ireland, are ready to admit that theCrimes Bill is altogether too drastic a measure and wholly unjustifiable at this stage of the struggle. To state that the Great Britain is a mild characterization of the true state of aflairs. Ever since Mr Balfour stood up in the House of Com- mons and explained its that the full intent of the understood, bill has caused intense feeling in pravisions, so Measure was the country has been riog- ing with protests against it. The provi. sion of the bill which excites the bitter- est opposition is that giving the Govern- ment power to change the venue of tria 8 from Ireland to England. This provi- gion has awakened such a storm of fierce denuuciation from all quarters that the Government, it issaid, has already de: vided to abandon it. The proposal to bring Irishmen accused of crime to Eng- land to be tried, is too monstrous a perversion of justice to be thought of for a moment with anything like calmness, It is hardly within belief that the Sal- isbury government seriously inteuds to force this Crimes Act upon the country.

Sir Sanderson, Conservative, said the Na tional league was supported main'y by criminals, dynamiters and murderers across the Atlantic ad charged the gen, tiemen of the opposition with associat. ing with men whom they know to be murderers. Heuly responded, saying that if Saundersn referred to him, he had no hesitation in caliing him a liar Heuly deciined to withdraw the expres sion. The speaker thereupon named him, and a motion was made that Mr Healy be suspended. Mr. Redmond jumped up aud said, “Tsay he is a liar, tro," The motion to suspend was car ried. Mr, Healy walked out of the hous applanded by the Parnellites Mr. Saun- derson attempted to resume his speech, but was interrupted by Seaton who shouted, “I say you are a wilful and coward'y liar, If I had only met you out side of this house I would thrash you within an inch of your life.” After this scene there wus great confusion and the speaker called upon both members to withdraw their offensive’ remarks, which they did.

This is to be reserved for the “* more sacred rites of baptism and endowment’ we learnod, marking that the ceremony of sealing or endowment, for so they designate the marriage ceremony, is considered by them more sacred than the services In praise of the Cre- ator. The ceremony of endowment is one that no Gentile is allowed to witness. On saking one of the Mormon ladies whom we met the nature of its rites, she said: “The ceremony of sealing differs from the mar riage ceremonies in the world, in this par ticular--that with us it unites the husband and wife throughout all eternity, instead of being only for time, and consequently is termed celestial marriage. The wife's vow of obedience to her husband is not included in the ceremony at all, so that it differs in this particular also.” We were anxious to hear concerning the marriage garments worn on these ocoasions, but our Mormon friend on this point was not se communicative. * You know something, perhaps, of Masonry,” she said, ““we hold these things sacred--they are worn only at the altar, and are used in burial They are very suitable and certainly unique, the pattern having been given by revels tion to Joseph Buuth, our first prophet ™ By this answer our curiosity was rather stimulated than satisfied, and we felt a de sire to ask if the marriage garment was bee coming as well as appropriate, but polite ness forbade the question.
