iiccal Option.
OO lb Ikird Friday or March the que
tloaal "Lteenie"or "no Lleenw," for Ibe
lara of Ibraa year,' la to be decide,! by tb
people of thli county. Very maay persons
labor under tb Impression that the quee.
tlaa la to bedsoided by townships, wardaor
election dUtrlata, each for themselves, and
thai where a township, ward or election
district votes againat license, none aball be
graated therein. Such la net the oase. Toe
taw utreetiy provide! that the remit will be
determined by cities and counties. Tbat is,
Inoorporatod cities aball deeid ludepeodeut
of the astlot af olhr portioniof ibe conn
ly, wbatbar they will or will not have II
otns. : ,
Fiankllo and Oil City nay deolde to have
license, and the balance ot tba county may
glvealaige majority against llcenae, in
wblob ease no license could he granted out
aide the attiee named j or, Franklin and Oil
City may vote agaioat license and the bat,
ance of tba eounty give a majority ror n.
cense, In wbieh case llcenae could be grant
ed In any part or tbe ouunty outside tbe
el tlea named.
', Another idea prevailsto a eertaln ex
'tent, tbat when tbe vote la agalaat llcenae,
uader tbe new law the provision are auch
that ail reatrlctione are removed, and an
lodiseriminate aala of liquor permitted
Tbla la flao ao error. The lawa lufllotiog
penalties lor aalliog without llcenae ara in
full force. Tba Court la onlT Drobii.ii.rt
flora granting llcenae.
Tba subject of local option la now being
agltateu to a considerable rxtenlibrooKheul
Ik Slate, and In tbe first election held lis
der the law, in Clearfield county, license
Iras prohibited,
i
Maor objection! are railed against tbe
law, prloolpally on tbe greuod that It la an
Infringement ol peraooal and social rights,
aad that all lawa pasaed tor tbe regulation
of men'! appetites are abortive and fail in
accomplishing result! desirable.
It Is an undeniable faot. tbat of all tbe
evils, Intemperance has been tbe object ol
most.leg station, with lest satil 0 ory tn
aulls, owing principally tu tbe fact that a
mltd remedy la not adequate, and all striu
feat facia are not exeouied. Our license
law. If faithfully executed, would puulth
nine-teotbs of tbe licoi-d f iloeu keepers
and close their establish men is. Tbe people
elect officers to execute Ibe law, and veu
aider tbe matter no luituei, aud II' otBsfala
fail to execute so mild a remedy,' wbat will
tbe retuit be uudera raure slriageut law,
wbicb loibids toe sale of liquor in any
manner.
Tbe question, tbeo, for tbe people to de
cide is, wbetbrr the licai option law mill
be more rlfcctivj in curbing tbe evil of lu-
temperance than tbe present law. We
think tbe local option acl, faithfully exe
cuted, would be tbe best, in every renpecl,
and aball take occaalon to give our views
oo tbe subject at another time.

COMMA.
O beautsful, bright, brown woman
With the oval Moorlih feea,
Black hair gleaming purple In lunligbt,
And a wondrous charm and a grace.
Of form and manner and carriage
Tbat Nature, not Art bestows,
And eyes that dart on Ibe beholder
Light tbat flashes and burns and glowa.
Come hither, and tell me the country,
Tbe lessen ajdyear ol grace,
If I am awake or but dreaming;
Tell me my failure and my race.
Wbat is this swathed around my bosom?
Why do I thus breathe in pain?
Why rushes tbe blood like a river
01 molten flame through my brain?
Wbat name beareth yonder mountain,
Whore summit witb fire is sglow?
Wbat do I bare witb tbe palm trees
Waving over me to aud Iro?
Whose are yon slalwart soldiers;
White clad and dark browed and strong?
. ..What means that blare of the trumpets,
And roll ol the nettle-drums long?
Why move they lortb fretn tbe portal
Witb Ihe measured and heavy Ireaj?
Who walks there in chains between ihem
To tbe uiuutntul March ol tbe Dean?
Speak low, ,jo!irecifo." she murmur
Iu tbe sofi CrtSUIiati tongue:
,"Like a hero you f.nigbt los landidos:
Tbe troop same in tiaie you ere

"The chief of tbe robbers Wul taken;
He iimarcbing how to bis death."1
A volley rolls up Irom the river:
"lie is goue!" and ibe bsting ber

Makes tbe sign of the crosa,and, kneellnr,
Breathe a prayer lor tbe soil tbat has

Then rises to smile on the liviig,
"Lot tbe dead past bury lis dead!"
Standing beside me, ibe whisperr,
'When Ihe old duenna is neir
- 'Twere best "ot to cill me Juncita ;
Bbe'd watcb me mure Clon-lj, 1 tear."
Wh knowetb tbe heart of a woman?
Why should I hasten awxy?
There is u balm in tbe air ul Colim:
Tbe eyes of Juetiila said, & ',"
So I lingered long in the Tropics,
And Bt ill, tbougb with love I mn dune,
I wonder in dreams iu thy garden,
