month, one ofthe coolest this winter, a wo-
man was found at J. P. Harvey's saw-mill,
lying by log, with her Jug by her side,
almost lifeless. She was removed to the
Chads Ford Inn where she died in short
time. 1t is rumored that the landlord hi
red neighbor to carry her to Delaware
county poor house for further care, the
firm not being willing to incur the expense
of burial. The strong suspicion is that she
got her liquor at the said Inn, as she was
at one ofthe near neighbors the evening
previous, soliciting provisions for herself
and child, and probably the liquor in her
Jug at the time. The landlord could not be
ignorant Of her habits! | have no doubt
that her store has been supplied by him
frequently. A few nights previous to this,
she lay out through the night with her child
and the child's clothes were frozen to the
ground, and on the 25th, it was buried
II may safely be said the rum selling fra
ternity has caused two premature deaihs--
within two days of each other. Now in
view Of all such scenes, who is the mur-
derer the respectable citizens whom the
law requires to sign the recommendations,
their agents the rumseller, or the court that
granted the license TO murder in the face
of remonstrance of one hundred of the
most respectable citizens Of the neighbor-
hood. A virtuous community cannot fail
to place it where it ought to rest.
