This is as every sensible man knew it would be. It is as tho legisla ture In tendei it shoulJ be. The veriest niany.amons then knew that they could not make an act crimina'. In one town ship, that would rut be in . another, and they intended to pas just what the law now Is, a universal Hems law. , We od mit that some votd for th liw under the Impression that it was better than the old Jaw. And it is better, in an impor tant particular. Tho stste does Dot ell, for to much gold, the right to mur der. Licenses aro gratuitous. Murder U cheap. f Do you asU why we are clad of this decision! We answer first, because the experiment of the past eight months has shown that as much liquor Is sold where license is not fronted aa where it 11 except, perhaps, iu a very few Instsn Cs. An efficient prosecutor may re strain them, but we will never get such prosecutors while we allow a set of coffee bouse loafers to da the nominating, and we vote for tho nominee, Irrespec tire of qualifications. Whilo we select men for Prosecutors who cannot get business otherwise, and who,, conscious of their inability to prossccute, will, for consideration from tho Indicted, non pro$. ill informations but one or two, we moy expect that offenders will go un punished. Dut wo are glad also becau now there is not the shiJo of i law behind which any temperance man run hiso himself. The balderdash about giving bond, and being responsible for damages Isjost nothing. fn Drookville female went, a few weeks ago, and with tears besought the liquor sellers not to veil tu her drunken husband, but all in vain. Eminent counsel has been employed in several casei, to recover damages, but aa yet none has been re covered. None can be, under this law, unless by a combination of favorable cir cumstances that will not occur ono time in a thousand. j.Now gentlemen give your bond and do your prettiest.

After a succes sion of variable, äpring-iah days during the past week, we awoke this morning and found thatVld Winter had stolen a march on us during the night, and quiet- taken possession of the held. As I stumbled about in my Woou-houso in tho "tfray light" of the early morn, sans coat, suns boots, hunting chips to kindle afire, I thought with Bryant, 1 ha melntictioly days are come, The saddest of the year.

Madam's remark gave a turn to my reflections, and I mused for so mo time on the industrial labits of the sexes. Women are, un questionably, tnoro diligent in business than we "lords of creation." You will observe them, after the multifarious du ties of the dav are dune, sittin? down with their work and pIvIiit the btisv nee dle hour after hour, whllo their lubberly husbands are lolling about in the great, easy arm-cliair, or grinnm? over the "Comicalities" in Horner's Magazine.

Prom tho remarks of the "Herald's" tom-spndc,!ita it is very evident lint they uro in fsvor of removing the present location of the Court IIoumo anJ pla cing it on tho farm of Mr. Yaryan, for Mr. Yaryan's farm is not in the County Seat nor within tho corporation, but the privato property of -that Gentleman, altho a Tax payer would Insinuate that it is in the County Seat, and this Is tho whole drift of tha writer article from first to last. We know of only four men in the county who miht on the grounds of pri vate interest wish a change in tho loca tion, and these are Mr. Yaryan, Mr. Westcott, Mr. Chns, Thompson and Major Win. John. The rent of the coun ty can feel no interest in favor of the change, but many would be opposed to it,arnop whom would be all those own ing property on Union and Main Streets and adjoining the public square. The object of Mr. Yaryan in obtaining tho romoval, is to increase tho vahio of his property, by laying ofTIots and bring ing the public business of tho Town to his farm. Hence as his property is in creased in value, by such a removal, the property of the present citizens around tho public square in the some ratio de dines in value, this is clear. Dut lot us illustrato this principle a little further. Liberty is a small inland Town, without any manufacturing or commercirl ad vantoges naturally, and were it not for the County Seat it would be nothing; hence because it is tho Seat of tho county, whero tho courts aro held, and the public otlice located, she is what she is, and tho vsluo of Ileal E-tate in creases or diminishes as it is near or far from the public square. Why is the property of Kstcp, Urogg, Conwell, Bow ers, and others on Union Street of more value per foot than that of Vandergrift's and McCoy's on tho street immediately North of UnlonStrcct. Tho first fronts the public squsre, tho other does not. Somo years ago when Major John and Monroe Conwoll endeavored to got tho Public Squaro over to the lot of Mr. Conwoll (and a haifdsome situation it would hove been) wis Mr. Yaryan In favor of the change then, or did bo do nounco it as selfish and absurd. Yet it a ehango has to ho made, it should bo here, if moro beauty of location is do sired. The pcoplo of Liberty aro chiefly con surners not producers, tho public office aro all of the first class and they cntctiy L'ivo tono and character to tho Town. I . -f.i. .'i .i i.. ...1.... pari, oi iiiu luwii mum uecioiu m vuiuu and decay in consequence as few men repair d-cli.iinj property, henco tho ar gument used by the friends of tho change is valuleHii, viz., that tho old site or Pub lic Square wduIJ pny J of tho cost of tho new Court House, for who would buy a lot of ground vacated, for building pur poses, when they could get much better and cheaper sites in tho new Town from Mr. Yaryan. Dut says the Dr. it "has been languishing for a quarter of a cen tury, and something must be done," well whoso fault is it more than "E Pluribus Unum" and "Tax Payer," for it is gen erally understood that they have lived and owned property nearly or quite that length of time fronting tho public square; and if tottering frames, warped boards, and rotten shingles, are about to knell its funeral requiems, who contributed more than they, for it must bo admitted mat great "uniformity" exists. But is the title of the Public Square good to the county, after its vacation, u io mo t;ruuiiu3 oi ur. i or iyan! We havo some doubts of the rights of the Commissioners to sell and change the county Seat. This should n,t has tily be done, nor without the consent of a majority of the citizcas of the county, or somo clear express enactment of tho Lgiuurarnada for this special pur pose. A public grant for a special pur pose reverts to tho donor when tho ob- ,-i . t . . . jeci ior wincn mo grant was made u abandoned. This we are informed is a clear pnnciplo of law, and was thor oughly discussed not long since in Ham ilton County, Ohio, with referenco to chanjjo of tho site for their new Court House. Were wo Mr. Yaryan, wo should bo in favar of tho change, but we I coa see no advantage which the county will gain by it, tor it Is not a private in terest yielding to a public good, but a public good attempted to be made sub Bcrve a privato interest. Wo would od- , vise tho Commissioners if they believe ! tho lojic of E Pluribus Unum and tho m 1 1 ii ... i ax rnycr, to ucccpi ma proposition 01 1 Mr. Yaryan, and after they obtain tho pant, abandon the new site and sell it, ! hunt for another from Mnjor John, ob , tain it, abandon it nnd sell t, 'by which means they might be able to build tho Court House lor nothing, if speculation is tho game, for private riht must yiotd to public good, then build when they plcnsc.

Tho Cincinnati, Indianapolis ami Chi csga Co., are Inking real Estate In tho following wr.y. They lake propositions from liulit iduuls for the sale of their prop erty to the lload payable In Its stock at par, This proposition so soon as ac t ceptvd by the company Is it ro il bill of sale, or Title bond for the property, aud upon the payment ot the stuck as spocl ; lied in the proposition or line bond, a deed cau bo compelled from tho partv so agreeing to sell. The- company are at no child's play. They ore doing things up safely and securely as far as they go, . A proposition, when It Is made to tho company. Is laid before ths board, is el- . . .... - - thcr refercd to a committee of tho board! pr to an ngeut tasee if the proposition on a mir one, it Ia reported on at the next session of the board, and either re ceived or rejected. Or during the recess ot tho board, if any property Is prOposci in regular form, it can be' accepted t y any two members of the Board, and thn agetvt, and reported to the Board for confirmation. So soon as this is dons, the partv can make his deed to the com pany. This deed is thenrcfered to tho Attorney of the company who examines tho title, and if correct reports to the secretary of tho company, with an ab stract of tho title, and if all light, tho Secretary then issues the stock certifi cates, which bear 8 per cent interest per annum, payable in stock. Others prefer and subscribe their real Estate subject to appraisement. In this case the person iroposing appoints ono appraiser, and t'ae company ono, which two, if they cannot agree, select a third man. This appraisement is binding on both the owner ol tho property and tho company. We wish to remark upon the care and csution wi'h which tho company recelvo property. No one person is allowed to receive and decide on real Estato sub scriptions and even after it Is acted on by the committee, it has to be acted on again when tho board is in session. Nor does tho company rcceivo Real Es tate at extravagant prices. Our road is to be built by honest men, by honest means. It is not intended for fancy stock. Nor is it pushed forward by wild theorists. Property is only taken at a fair valuation as near its real value as the best men in tho counly can arrive at. Sometimes, it is true, tho best men may be overreached in Hsal Estate. 13ut this company from the very com mencement havo exercised tho .strictest caution on this subject. Thoso wishing to subscrlbo real Estato to this company can get of tho agents or at the ollice printed blanks, and if their property is near tho line of tho lload, but a fowdays need clapss beforothe stock certificates can be lsuod to them. The stock draws Interest from the date of the deed. And In this respect it might bo well for those who havo already suuscri bed in this way, to inako their deods, and save interest. Those who attend to their best interest are looking tö this matter. We will herealtcr speak of the pro priety of property holders taking stock in this way in this road, as well oi its future business and destiny. C. t . Clabksox. Dec. 2nd. 1853. nr REQUEST. BAPTISM.
