which will prove gratifying intelligence to

Colonization of Dunkards.
riie proposed colonixation of all the Dun
kards ill the United States in the " Panhan
dle' section of the I'nited States is a very
large undertaking. The Dunkanls are a pe
culiar religious sect, whose chief tenets are a
literal belief in the teachings of the Irospei,
and in abhorrence of war. During the Civil
War both siiles resiected their scruples
against lighting, and exempted them from
serv ice in the army. A misprint iu the Con
federate statute on the subject made it ap
pear that "drunkards " were exempted. This
was good news to the red-nosed men of the
South, but their satisfaction was short-lived,
as tbe mistake was sx!i corrected. Texas
is to be congratulated upon securing these
honest, industrious people. -V. Y. Trdiune.
Art Important Decision.
The supreme court recently desided a case
thai may be of interest to some people be
sides the parties directly ooiiccnied. A Har-n.-luirg
furniture dealer sold goods to a inur
ried woman, notwithstanding the husband
hail notified him orally and by letter not to
do so on credit. The furniture man brought
suit against the husland,aitd tbe jury found
a verdict in his favor. The husband had
rati lied the wife's purchases, iermitiiiig them
to remain in the house and using them. The
supreme court decides that this was an er
ror, inai lucre was no raiiiiiainin on oiu t
part of the husband ill permitting the goods
to remain iu t lie house, and that it was not
his duty to remove the goods, nor notify the
dealer to take them away. If the latter
chose to take his chain of recovery after
notice not to sell be had the righ t, but he
could uot iuipMx-etbe right of action against
the husband.

The New Liquor Law.
For the information of counsel for the
liquor-dealers and others, the Clerk of tbe
Court of Quarter Sessions of Philadelphia
County rwssntlv submitted questions to the ;
Board of Judges relative to tlie interprets- j
uon oi me new iii!ii-i.ii.viif ia. : in j
tion oi the new Uigti-Ucense law.: itiese
iuternxgatories have been answered by Judge
Allison as fiillows
(fHrttitM. Are whoU-sale liquor-dealers.
brewers, and bottlers required to tile ti- ,
tions the same as the retailers ? If so, shall I
said petition be similar in all respects? Jf i
ncer. Applicants for a license to sell liquor
by wholesade t-lnmld apply by petition ; hot I
there is nothing in the act of May -4, 1"?s7,
which requires that the petition stould con
form with the requirements of the petition
to sell by retail as set fort in the act of May
IX 1S.H7.
Q. Are the bondsmen required to be n-si-dents
of the wards in which the place of
business is located ? .1. The Act does not
require that the bondsmen for license to sell
by wholesale should be residents of the ward
in which the business is to be carried on.
J Can a license to sell at wholesale and
at retail lie issued to the same person either
for the same place or different places? A.
A license to sell by wholesale does not au
thorizes license to be issued or granted to
the same person to sell by retail. See Speci
fication 6 of the fifth section of the Act of
May 13, ISS7.
Q. Can a person who has paid a whole
sale license of do a ho'tling business un
der the same, or is he required to pay an ex
tra iiisi for bottling ? A. Under a license i
so sell by wholesale the business of bottling j
liquors cannot be carried on. There is noth- 1
iug in the Act of May i:i, 1SH7. which pre- j
vents the issuing of a bottling license to a j
wholesale dealer, nor is it forbidden to carry j
on tbe wholesale and bottling business in .
the same place. . J

WirtrrZELL. At Casselman. on Wed
nesday, November, 10, 187, Ihiniel Whetxell
in the sixty-fourth year of his age.
The subject of this notice was born in
Frederick County. Maryland. On reaching
his majority he emigrated to Pennsylvania,
and settled iu Ei klick Township, Somerset
County. Being a farmer he worked With
that class of people during the summer and
in the winter season taught school.
When the war with Mexico broke out he
found it impossible to enlist in either of the
two Pennsylvania Regiments from the fact
that the quo a of every company was always
full. Iaaming that a U. S. Recruiting sta
tion was opened at Bedford, Pennsylvania,
he went there and enlisted as a V. S. soldier.
During the war he rendezvoused at New
YorK, aud was assigned to the 11th Regi
ment, U. S.Infaiitry, commanded by Colonel
Savage, and with them participated in all
the duties and dangers connected with, the
campaign. After the war he wai honorably
discharged, and ret n rued to his home in
Somerset County, where he lived the balance
of his life, highly respected for hia moral
and Christian deportment.
Mr. Whetzell at the time of his death was
connected with the Church of iod at King
wood, and was a useful and influential
memlier: making Sunday -school work the
most imponaut part of his Christian duties.
The schools at Kiiigwuod, Casselman, Lau
rel lirove aud New Lexington, whichever he
happened to live the nearest, commanded
his untiring and undivided attention, but he
did not neglect his other church duties. Al
though jioor in the goods of this world, he
was rich in the gospel and its promises. Be
ing confined to bed for several months before
his death, he expressed no desire for recov
ery, saying to the writer : " It would tie far
better for htm to go to his father, who stood
on the shining shore of the dark waters,
ready to welcome him over."
He was buried, at Mt. Union, on Friday.
ISth inst., surrounded by his Christian
frien.Ls ami a large Cmconrseof fellow citi
zens. Rev. J. C. Cunningham, of Kingwood,
preached the funeral dismurse and gave us a
