TOE Washington, Pa, Daily Re porter entered upon its twelfth year on the sth inst. This is a longer ex istence than dailies started in some country towns attained and speaks as well for the success of its enterprising proprietors as for the growing pros perity of "Little Washington." —Daring the late heated term, for tbe past month or so, very few of onr subscribers ventured to Butler or to pay their subscription accounts, as we know they would like to have done- But the weather beginning to cool off now we have this week bad a call from some of them, anJ are looking for many more between this and tbe coming September term of Court, commencing Monday, Sept. 5. Mr. J. K. Brittain, of Greenville Pa. an accomplished artist in crayon painting, has been visiting Butler with a view of doing some work here. Specimens of tbe pictures be can make-pure crayon-can be seen in the show windows of tbe Pape store. Any of our citizens desiring a picture of themselves or friends would do well to call on Mr. Brittain. Ilis pictures •re mncb admired and be makes tbem at very low rates. Now that tbe fact of Ilenry M Stanley's safety is beyond all ques tion, tbe whole civilized world is re joicing over it. Mr. Stanley never bad so good a proof of tbe world's appreciation of bis worth as he now bas, or will have when be bears tbe news, in its rejoicing tbat be is not dead —that be still lives to labor in tbe cause of mankind and the advance of commerce. He is one of tbe heroes who bas won imperishable fame with out inflicting wrong of any kiud on bif fellow creatures. Like Columbus, Americus and Sebastian Cabott, Stanley bas opened a continent to commerce. He cannot perhaps »be rated as a discoverer, though be has revealed many new things in tbe land of Africa never known before,but bo did more tban either of tbe great navigators referred to, in developing a land which other men before bim only made a bunting ground for slaves or wild beasts. It is tbis wbicb endears Mr. Stanley to man kind, and wbicb makes tbem r«joicc now tbat be still lives. The Plate Glass Works. A visit to tbe new Plate Glass Works erected here is necessary in order to obtain a full conception of tbeir extent and magnitude. There are many glass works in tbis cpuntry of various kinds but there are but lew plate glass works. And this one nere, which makes plate glass only, is said to be one of four or five in tbe United States, and is one of tbe very largest of them. Tbe buildings alone, now about complet ed, cover from four to five acres of ground. It in worth a visit to tb<;Bo works to witness and learn of the material* used and tbe procesH of making plate glass. Sand, lime, soda and various chemical and other material* are used. Tbe sand, an important item, in brought awaj from tbo State of Mis souri, where a superior kind can be obtained. The different processes in mixing and prepairiug these materi als. before going into the great hot ovens for melting, and tbe cooling, finishing and other processes after the ovens, are all points of ioterest and Instruction. These Works are a great credit to the builders and will be a great bene fit to Butler. Several Pittsburg cap italists are interested in them. Tho number of laborers employed in aud about them; the buildings required for them to live in; tbe natural gas that the works will consume, there with other things make these works give our place a large increase ol trade and business, as well os of pop ulation. Some large plates have al ready been make, and in a few weeks the best of finished plate glass, of tbe largest sizes, will be ready for the BR numerous orders already received by tbe company. Tbe make is said to be equal to tbe best French plate glntfl that not long since was such a costly article to obtain in this coun m UJ District Nominations. We are pleased to find the follow ing in Repnblicao papers of this Con gressional district, by which it will be seen our efforts to bring about a change in the manner of nomina ting candidates, are receiving atten tion and being endorsed in the other counties of the district. The Beaver, Pa. Times, of the 4th inst has the following to say: Mr. Negley, of the Butler Citizen, in several elaborate articles, urges the abolition of the conferree system, and the substitution of some other more satisfactory mode in the select ion of candidates for Congress, in this now newly formed Congression al District. He says that Mercer has already moved for a change; Butler is ready to move also; and that the co-operation of Beaver a&d Lawrence only is wanted to secure District Conference, in which the whole mat ter can be thoronghly considered There are Berious drawbacks, it must be confessed, to the Conferree system that has so long been in vogue; and if a plan can be devised by which nominations ean hereafter be made more expeditiously, more satisfacto rily to the voters, and less costly to the candidates,the time spent by com mitttees from the respective counties would be well spent in the effort to find out and elaborate such plan. Elsewere this week we reproduce from the Butler Citizen a timely ar ticle in regard to the proposed change in making Congressional nominations. It will be seen that Bro. Negley favors the Popular Vote system over the Delegate system, and we feel constrained to add our testimony that the popular system is the one to be preferred, for tbe reason that it is the fairest and most in keeping with the spirit of our government, which is essen tially popular in its natnre. The delegate system would be simply the conferree system on an enlarged scale —at least it could be so made—and we want to get as far away from the latter system as possible. By the popular vote the fittest will survive, and that is as it should be in a popu lar government. We commend the article in question to the careful con sideration of all concerned.—Green ville Valley News., Aug 5. Prom the above we are encoura ged to believe that all the counties will appoint Committees, to meet and confer on the subject. Lawrence county is the only one from which we bare noticed no expression in the press, but we hare no doubt her Re publican County Committee will act in due time. The Chairman of tbis county will announce his committee in a short time. The earlier there is a meeting ot the committees the better. And now having said all we have to say on the subject we leave the matter to their hands. Adoption of the Constitution. The adoption of the National Con stitution, which is soon to be cele brated at Philadelphia, was one of the most important events in our po litical history. The origin of that grate instrument dates back to the very earliest stage of our colonial existence. There were originally three different forms of Government in the colonies—the Charter, the Proprietary and the Royal. These were changed with the changing conditions of the cuionies, but during 'he'" continuance, and operating as they did upon a people so widely separated in habits and manners as the Puritans of New England, the Cavaliers of Virginia and Quakers of Pennsylvania, they produced di versities in legislation which it was difficult to reconcile and harmonize at later periods. Common dangers and mutual in terests rendered necessary some sort of union. The first leaguo was the United Colonics of New England, formed in 1643. This lasted forty years, and on it was engrafted the principles of a delegated Congress, It was not until May, 1775, that the first Congress of the thirteen States assembled in Philadelphia. It was tbis body that formulated and icsued the Declaration of Independence. In November, 1777, Congress agreed upon the celebrated Articles of Con federation, which lasted until the termination of the Revolution and the adoption of Constitution in 1788. The defects in the old Articles were numerous, and the demands for a more "perfect union" wore pressing and imperative. (Jen. Washington led off in a move ment having for its purpose an indis soluble union of the States under one Federal head. This culminated in the convention of delegates from twelve States, ia 1787, which met in Philadelphia and adopted tbo pres ent Constitution. It wa<* on Mon day, September 17, 1787, that the convention was enabled to pass a resolution to lay the completed in strument "beforo the United States in Congress assembled," and to recommend that it should afterwards be submitted to a Convention of Delegates chosen in each State by the people thereof, for their assent and ratification." The terms of this resolution were complied with in a letter addressed by the convention to the old Congress, bearing even date with the resolution. Eleven days thereafter the Congress unanimously resolved that the report, with tbo resolutions and letter accompanying the same, bo transmitted to the sev eral Legislatures, in order to be sub mitted to a Convention of Delegates cbotten in each State by tbe people (hereof. Tbo Constitution was rati fied by tbe conventions of the several States at different dates, Delaware leadiag off December 7, 1787, and followed by Pennsylvania December 12, 1787. By November, 1788, all tbe States save one (Rhode Island) bad ratified tbe instrument, tbe latter State assenting in May, 1700. I'UU bury Commercial Gazette. Bills Sent. Some who are in arrears pay no attention to bills sent by publishers. Tbis is a mistake. No bills are sent unless the mouey is needed, and the giving no attention to tbem often places publishers in difficulty. Re cently a mini her of bills were sent from tbis office and we hope those re ceiving tbem will give tbem prompt attention, if not already done so. Tbis will apply in some cases to sub-' scribers out of tbe county and state, who should be tbo more punctual, as their papers cost more to send tbau those living at home here. Between tbis and tbe Sept. Court coming we will look to hear from all to wbom bills bare been sent, and if they can not respond in full, write us at least on tbe subject. The Kentucky Lesson. It matters not whether General Backner's majority for Governor of Kentucky shall be 5,000 or 20,000 when the official count comes along. When the Democrats of Kentucky can't muster 40,000 majority in a State campaign with an unusually full vote polled, it means that the leaven of revolution is beginning to work in Kentucky politics, and the headlong leaders who have been rush ing on on the basis that the greatness and prosperity of the whole nation centered in the Whisky Ring, would do well to call a halt loifg enough to look around aod take an account of stock. It is idle to say that State contests don't call out the vote according to party convictions. It is just such struggles which develop the actual convictions of the people, and which give the most emphatic admonitions to party leaders. In national con tests many voters will sacrifice much for party sake; but when State issues are vitalised and enlist general popu lar interest, the people admonish and chasten reckless leaders by open re volt. Sometimes they break square ly to the opposition, but the couveni e'nt halfway political base of Prohibi tion or Labor serves the purpose of calling a halt in offensi/e party policy without getting clear off into the ranks of the enemy. The Democrats of Kentucky have not been worsted by any atill hunt. The Republicans put their candidate for Governor in the field, declared their belief on national and State issues, took the stump in manly de fense of their faith, and contested the battle at every step. In like manner the Prohibitionists unfurled their cold water flag, went to the people with their cause, and they with the Labor voters, confessed the defeat of the Democracy to be their objective point. It was a square battle for and against Kentucky Democracy "as she is taught," and if it is not a Democratic defeat, it is a victory of that class that another such victory would make Kentucky Republican Kentucky has been run since the war on high-pressure Whisky Ring politics, and the men who ruled so successfully for many years in sub mission to a fearful and oppressive monopoly, finally assumed to rulu the natioa as the tail of the Kentucky Whisky Ring dog. In order to main tain the Whisky monopoly there must be a bigb tax on whisky, and when the manufacturers who are in the ring overproduce, they expect tLe govern ment to bank them over for a more favorable market. In short, they de mand a high tax on whisky to brace op the lines of the monopoly, but they reserve the right to pay or not pay the tax, a3 may be most conveni ent for the manufacturers. To sus tain the high internal taxes, the Ken tucky leaders logically drifted into free trade, and their political policy, practically stated, favors protection to a single monopoly and destruction to every other manufacturing industry. It is this rapid drift of Kentucky Democratic leaders to whisky monop oly and their attempt to force it up on the natiou with all its logical con sequences, that has unsettled the pol itics of Kentucky and has forced thousands of Democratsto join the Pro hibition or Labor parties to admon ish those who are rushing the Demo crats to destruction. Beyond the in terests of the Whi.-key Ring and the free trade dream that come 3 from it, and the frantie demands for old time spoils and plunder, no public question has found favor with the Kentucky Democratic leader?; and they are now brought up with a round turn by the people, because the people want schools and factories quite as well as they want distilleries or party plunder. This is the lesson of the Kentucky election, and if the Democrats of that Btate fail to see in it the handwriting on the wall against prostituting a great party to whisky monopoly, free trade and party pluader, it will be safe to class the State of Henry Clay and of the American System as doubtful in future political contests.—Philadel phia Time*. Reception to the 11th Penna. Reserves. From all appearances the reception that will bo given by the citizms of Butler to the survivors of 11th Regi ment of the I'enn'a Reserves, at their Reunioo here on Sept. 21, will be as creditable to our people as it will be pleasant to the Reserves. In another place will lie seen the proceed ings of a meeting held by our citizens, and the committees appointed to make the proper arrangements for,the Reunion, and the duties of each com mittee, and, in a word, for giving the 11th Reserves a right royal and grand reception here. They will be entertained by our people while here. A general banquet will be given them. The town will be decorated with flags,banners and streamers. An address of welcome will be extended to them, and everything done to muke their Reunion here one that will surpass that of any yet had. The different committees have or Boon will l*o ull at work, and as plenty of time remaius between this and Sept. 21, to complete all the ar rangments contemplated, we look for a grand gula day here on that date. Our citizens are all tukißg an inter est in the matter and desire to remem ber in every way possible the servi ces in tho late war of tin soldiers from this couuty, companies and I), composing part o( the 11th Re serves. A Case of Interest. A case came before 'Squire lla/.en lant Saturday, which to say the least was au uncommon one. Summed up briefly, it was as follows: Philip Shafer, of Hickory, had runted a farm of Aleck Summerville for one year from April I, and in the fall of that year he sowed five acres of wheat with the priv ilego of cutting it. Meanwhile Solomon I'eters had bought the farm, and sowed tfce wbeatfield with grass Beed, getting possession of the farm on April 1, 1887. The wheat proved a failure, and as there was a lino crop of clover on tho ground, Schafer mowed the field and secured several tons of hay Peters then brought suit against Scbafer for trespass and damage, and after hearing the evidence on both sides Justice Hazun gave Peters judg ment for $25 and costs, amounting to in all to A number of farmers were present at the hearing, and they say that in all their experiened they never heard of a similar case, u-t also Justice Ha/.en. Tbe decision is of some importance, as it demostrates that renters cannot practice what is commonly known as "skinning a farm".— tiharptiville Time*. Attention Comrades of the 137 th Regiment.

HARVEY, Prcet. J. B MCNAIR, Sec'y. The Constitutional Centennial. The Constitutional Centennial Commission has issued a quite elo quent address to the people of the Uni ted States outlining the program of the celebration at Philado. in Sep tember and inviting goneral attention to the importance of the anniversary. Although the commission was a little late in getting under way there is now DO doubt that the celebration will be one of most interesting of the whole series of centennial observances and worthy the event it is to com memorate. The first of this series was in Phil adelphia, the Carpenters' Hall cele bration of 1574. Next came the anniversaries of Lexington and Bun ker Hill, in which New England. took the lead, and then the central event of all. the centennial of independence and the great exhibition in Philadel phia* After this were minor com memorations of military events, lead ing up to the anniversary of the final victory at Yorktown, when Virginia claimed her share in the national rejoicing. Now for the third time the people are bidden to Philadelphia, where the Continental Congress first assembled, where the Declaration cf Indepen dence was promulgated, and where finally was framed the Federal Con stitution, which defined and perpetu ated the uniou of the States whos-e independence had been secured by such infinite sacrifice. The event to bo commemorated in September is thus of importance second to no one of the others, and whilo the success of the celebration will depend upon the co operation of all the States, it must especially rest upon Pennsylvania and Philadelphia to make it not less attractive and dignified than any that have preceded it, nor less worthy of "the city of the Declaration, the city of the Constitution, the Mecca of America."— J'lrilaJidphia Timcx. A Beaver Valley Snako Story. From New Js'ewn.] About two weeks ago a little ICnglish lad named Serby, who lives in Fcttermau, took a banket and went to the neighborhood of Wallnco Kun for bcrricH. On tb<; road homo while crossing a fi«ld bo found a number of round, white balls übout UH large as wainiitn. Those bo put in his basket and carried home. AH Hoon as bin father saw them ho pronounced them turtle'rt eggs, and as they had at that time a bon that wan anxious to hot, and in fact bad been setting round on brickbats, lumps of coal and other thing* of like nature, be concluded he would try an experiment ju»t (or cu riosity. Ho the supposed turtle eggs were plaeed under the heu ajd she'was left alone in her glory. About a week after that, one bright morning, the family was startled by the greatest commotion in the chicken yard. I'pon running to learn the cause, what was their horror to see the place literally alive with black snakes, that were darling In and out beneath the old setting lieu and wrig gling round at a great rate. The supposed turtle eggs were those of a black snake and the lieu bad hatched them out. The snake;* were, on an average, about six inches long and as lively as crickets. They would pro trude their heads from beneath the old hen's wings, and dart their little red tongues out at any one .vho would approach them. The Serby family looked on ia astonishment until one of the snakes wrapped itself round its foster moth er's neck, and began to choke bar to death; then they procured slicks and went to work killing oil' the horrid brood. Alter killing 28, the remain der, about half a do/en that had taken refuge under tbo old hen, were allowed to live, and it i" said she takes as much care of them as if they were Utile chicks- Wherever she goes they follow, arid eeem to know her cluck. She scratches diligently for them all day, but no one has yet seen them cat. At night they crawl under her wings and sleep soundly. It is a queer family. The Texas Eloetion. HOUSTON, Aug. i. -The election re turns on the prohibition question are coming in rapidly. All counties in Southern Texas are giving large ma jorities for the Anti-Prohibitionists. The present returns, carefully estima ted, indicate that the prohibiten ques tion will he snowed under by a ma jority oj Ha,ooo.

Thomas Sackell Baldwin leaped into tame arid the attentions of about 30,000 people at lloekaway this afternoon abuut as easily and gently as a smart terrapin could slide off a log. He made his bound into glory from the side of a balloon about 1,200 feet above the low-tide water of Jamaica Bay, just inside the coast line, and gently drop ped into notoriety and muddy water under a well-built young and active parachute. The parachute with which most people are familiar is to be found only in the illustrations of the dictionary. The parachute Tho mas used wasn't built that w«y. It was, in fact, very near fitting the de scription a young fighting man gave of it, "A feather-weight balloon." At a few minutes past 5 o'clock Tom Baldwin came cut in his 'cute little uniform ot pink stockinet. It fitted him like his skin and revealed a pleasant-looking young fellow about 5 feet 8 inches high, and weighing about 170 pounds. He is strongly built and his muscles bulged out tbe stockinet about the shoulders and back. He wore green trunks, with the reddest of red carnations embroid ered on each hip. A dozen men took hold of the an chor ropes and unhooked the sand bags. Tom stepped into the balloon basket and took a final haul at all the ropes. At 5:17 o'clock he said:—"Let her go, everybody," and everybody let her go. A long quarter inch rope trailed from the basket and was turn ed {.round Thomas Brosuan's youug willow tree- The air-ship rose gen tly and slowly passed over the Grand Republic as Tom Baldwin passed out tbe rope. When she had risen about 300 yards Torn Baldwin pulled out a wicked looking carving knife and cut his balloon free. She shot aloft straight as an arrow. Tom leaned over the edge waving his white hand kerchief- When the balance was a bout 1,200 feet high and the aeronaut looked as big us an organ-grinder's monkey, he climbed over the edge of the basket, grabbed the ring of his parachute, and with a quick stroke of the knife set it free. Down it plun ged without catching the air. It looked as if Tom Baldwin was a doomed man, when in an instant the sides of the parachute bellied out, the craft swayed easily from side to side and then floated earthward as gently as a falling apple blossom. She swayed a little though, and Baldwin swung in pendulum-fashion until he touched this world on a sand flat in Jamaica Bay, about a thousand yards from where he started - It took him 1 minute 24 1-5 seconds by Gen. Giannini's watch to make the descent Standing knee-deep in the water he waved his handkerchief again, which inspired the thousands to do more great feats of cheering. Feeding the Soldiers.

CRAWFORD'S CORNERS, PA., Aug. 6th, 1887. EDITOR CITIZEN.— Dear Sir: The brick house of the writer, near Craw ford's Corners, was struck by light ning last night, shuttering one corner of the chimney top and taring off the cornice and shattering the end of the roof badly. Entering tbe tin spouting, it followed it to where it emptied the water into a wooden trough placed to carry the water to a barrel, shattering the wooden spout ing and taring several staves out of one side of the barrel. The shock was felt by all in the house, (four persons) and all being in different rooms, but no one seriously injured. It is altogether likely if it had not been for a heavy raiu that fell before the shock, that the roof would have ignited and probably burned the whole house. The loss is fully covered by in surance. J. R. Allegheny Township News. EDS. CITIZEN. —There are two paths in life. The one leads to honor, success, and happiness. The other path is too well-known to need any description. Every person starting out on the path of life should form the solemn purpose to make the most and the beso of tfca powers which God lias given theni. After duly considering the two paths of life, we must acknowledge that the people of Allegheny township and surround ing community, did choose the right path in life, when they found their way to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. •John N. Sloan, Jaly 30tb, 1887, to celebrate the 47th birthday of Mr. Slcao. Mr. Sloan was absent when the crowd assembled. A message was sent for him. Mr. Sloan wan noted for being a brave soldier in tbn, war of the Rebellion ; but when he came in sight of his dwelling he saw it was useless for him to attempt to surround about 200 guests who were congregated in and about his house, aud he manfully surrendered. As soon as Mr. Sloan saw that his prison life was not a bard one, the men erected two tables in the grove, and the good women soon spread the tables with the necessaries of life. Mr. and Mrs. Sloan were escorted to the head of one of the tables, and af ter a blessing by Mr. James McClin tock, the good things were relished by many friends of Mr. Sloan. After dinner the meeting was called to or der aud Mr. Isaac Miller was chosen President arid John Thomas Secre tary. The President called on Mr. James MeClintoek, who made a good speech on the occasion. Mr. Miller was called on and made an ablu speech, giving Mr. Sloan's adven tures and war history, and a brief history of his social life in his h6me and among his fricatUr At the close of-h'.s speech ho returned thanks to the audience for their friendship to wards Mr. Sloan and his fumily on that occasion.

A terrible storm, amounting almost to a cyclone, passed over thi .*• city last night, doing a vast amount of damage. The west ern part of tho city was inundated. A 15,000 barrel tank of oil, belonging to the Eclipse Oil Company, was de bt roved by a II ish of lightning, and for a time threatened the destruction of the entire oil works, tho largest in the world. The burning oil formed n pool against the tracks of the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio and the I,'ike Shore Road track, delaying all trains. The loss by the fi;*o will reach I $20,000. 11 ii 4li Porter, a fireman, was accidentally hit on the head by a hone wrei.eh and fatallv injured. James Cunlield and John King were fatally burin d Michael Kint.es and several others v.eru icriously injured. The fire was gotten under control at 'J o'clock this afternoon. September Court.

John Clav, tlio only >urvivin< son of Henry Clay, aged 07 years, fell dead last Wednesday—heart dis ease. Death of Edward M. Bredin, Esq. Edward M. Bredin, E*q died at his residence in this place on Tuesday evening last, Aug. 9, at the age of 68 years. Mr. Bredin had been in failing health for some time past and his death was not therefore wholly unex pected. He eanio to this county from Carlisle, Pa, when a young mau and was admitted to the Bar herein 18.39 As a lawyer ho was well read in all the branches of the legal profession, and his memory of cases and decisions of Courts was re markable. This familiarity with cases decided and wonderful memory in retaining and citing tjicm, gave hiui a wide reputation and practice He was also a quick and keen witted man, and of far more than ordinary learning in ulmost ail branches of t-cholaraiiip. Owicg to failing health he had not been in tbe active practice of the law for some years past. His death removes from the Bar here its oldest member. The remains of Mr. Bredin were in interred in tbe North Cemetery on Thursday last, services being held in the Episcopal Cfcurcb, of which he and his family were members. The Bi-monthiy Pay Law. The new law requiring that cor porations pay their employes semi monthly, and which went into effect Monday, August Ist, is only being partially observed in this State The miners at nearly all of tbe works -have giveu notification that they expect to receive their wages hereafter semi-monthly, dating from August 1. This is in conformity with the circular sent out by the Executive Board of the Miners' Na tional Assembly No. 35, Knights of Labor. Some time since the men went out on a strike for semi-ruouthly pay at the works of Sanford & Co. and Beadling Bros., on the Tom's Run branch of the Pittsburg and Lake Erie ltailroad. They were out but a day when the matter was settled by the firms agreeing to the proposed terms of payment* Several other members of the Pittsburg Railroad Coal Association are also paying ac cording to the new law. Others will probably succeed in making individual arrangements with their men. There is a prospect of a test case being made where the firms insist on paying only once a month. Drought And Fires. CmcAoo, Aug. 9—Telegrams re ceived this morning from central points throughout the entire 75,000 square miles of drought-stricken North western country show the fear ful sun-scorching of all vegetation continues unmitigated. Not a drop of rain has fallen, except .08 inch at Des Moines, a bare sprinkle on the Seep uHSV. -'Local observations in the various districts have given but little hopo of a break within the coming tweuty-four hours. A trifle cooler weather and scattered light showers are expected in some places, but tie conditions arc such that if the possi ble little moisture and coolness are at all delayed their effect will be total ly lost in a seemingly imminent fur ther general riso of temperature from end to end of the drought region. IN THE CHICAGO SUHCRIIS. The effects of the drought in Chi cago was noticeable in many small fires to-day, but they convey no idea of the condition of things in the coun try immediately surrounding the city. Never beforo have the farmers and residents of the suburbs suffered so from tV> heat and dry weather. All around the vegetables of the small gardeners have been killed. All along the railroad tracks the prairies are on lire, and the residents of the suburbs are called out at all hours of the duy and night to extinguish the flames when they threaten the barns and bouses. The Tavern Licenses. The constables of the various wards of Philadelphia who had fail ed to mukf! returns of licensed and un licensed houses in the first week in every term, as required by tho pro visions of tho new liquor law, Tues day morning up[»eared beforo Judge Bregy, who hud issued rules against them to show cause why they should not be suspended. After hearing their excuses the .Fudge said: —"The failure seems to have arisen from an ignorance of the law. The constables don't seem to have understood the law at all. The law in the first place requires them, whether there are un licensed places or not, to make return of all persons selling liquor within their bailiwick, and the act further provides that that should be done tho first of every month. If the constable does not make his return it is the duty of tho Judge holding court to see that it is done, ami the Court is given tho power of suspending the constable until trial for that offense. An ignorance of the law is no excuse, and a failure to comply with it makes the constable liablo to a line of SSOO and an imprisonment not excediug two years. It would probably be a harsh and severe measure if 1 should hold you to the heaviest penalties of the law at this time. As the law is a new one I do not want to do it. There has been some question as to when the law went into effect, and that has been decided by the Court. I will do nothing further if the con stables will make thoir reports I am satisfied that, as thoir attention has been called to the matter publicly, they will comply with tho provisions of the law in the future." — Ex.
