It is very closely related to the well known poisonous drusf, coccnlns indlent, of the pharma cists.

As yoo report, the vire is of slender growth, reaching ing the beigth of about ten feet in the season. The leaves resemble somewhat in form those of the English iyy, but are much smaller. In tho fall and win ter there is nothing to l>e seen but the cluster of shining black berries, resern bling the 'frost grape,'and children may readily believe they are gathering and eating grapes. Fortunately the plant is not very common." —"So they sent your poem back,' said the sympathizing friend, "It's too bad "That's what the editor said."

J. Sedgwick, Sad dler," and we remember hearing the school boys, as they came down North St. from the old school house, which stood on the site of the M.

I a his opinion, Judge Stowe says: '"After the application in this casa was heard we gave it special and careful considera tion, with some doubts as to the pro priety of granting it because of its close proximity to a National bank, bnt final ly came to the roiiflusion that as the law of this State make the sale of liquors by retuil a perfectly legitimate business and imposed stringent regulations in re gard to the manner in which it should be conducted, which if complied with, would altogether prevent any unusual annoyance or danger to other business carried on upon adjoining properties, we could not, as a matter of justice, r» fus ; a license to an applicant who, in onr opinion, was under the law, as we understand it, entitled to have one, simply because the place or business, ii: illegally conducted, might possibly be come objectionable or even,dangerous."
