This fact ha* long been recognised by (be legislative and judicial power* of the land, the law for licensing inns or taverns being an in* Mancc. The adaptability of the liseiiK© law of this State for extending nr restriding the trafllu in drink* according to the popular desire, eeetna never to have Wn, fully appreciated by most | |H%«iple. Olio of the first essentials of granting a license is the evidence that ■uch a house is needed in the place for which Ihu Application is made, and an©th©r i* |hat the applicant shall possess certain important qualifications. But when a reputable freeholder, who sign* an application to keep an inn, assort* over his signature that such a hou*© will conduce to the public good, he does not actually mean all that has been inferred ; generally from that form of recommend-

ation. thii lias often been clearly shown in our courts.

In most lo- v

cali ties such a claim could not well be substantiated, and in the absence of the proof fit such a fact judges will not usually bo able to see by what authority they can grant a license. — Woodbi ry purs®.

Wi ortb Knowing. - i «c/ i . i I ' I TTicre is a place In Philadelphia where a stranger may buy his clothes, and fare as well as if he knew the whole city by heart ; and if he knows nothing about the value of cloths, or of clothes, he is as well off, as if he were a good judge of bo tit. The reason is that everything to be found there is made there — made and sold under a system which rarely allows mistakes to occur, and which corrects them, if they ! ] do occur. Oak Halt, is the place; i and its practice may be I

summed up in a few words, if you get there what you don't want to keep at the price, you return it, and get your money back. This means a great deal more than appears on the surface. It means that you are not going to get what you will not want to keep at the price, if the merchant can help it It means that the clothes you get there will be of- honest cloths, honestly made; and that they will cost you less than as good clothes can be got for elsewhere. It means that they will be every way better worth your money than you can get elsewhere ior the same money. If it means anything less than these things — if it means poor cloths, trimmings, cutting, sewing, or in any way disnSnest or illiberal dealing; the return of his goods will^ plague the merchant, injure" his credit, and dissipate his trade.

If it means these things — if it means liberal and honorable dealing, valuable and trusty clothing, ease and safety in getting it, Oak Hall is the place for you to go to, ' or to send to ; and it is worth your while to know how you can send, if it is inconvenient to go. Write ; say what your occupation is ; say what sort of use you intend to make of the clothes you want, whether for every-day wear or otherwise ; what color you prefer, or what color to avoid; say about what you want to pay ; say everything that you think may aid a stranger in choosing for you. You will get in reply samples of cloths and'prices of whatever you want made from those cloths. You will get also the means of having your measure taken by an unskilful person. --------

There is only one difficulty left. Somebody haa^ got to take the risks of the dealing ; for there are risks. Send your money along with your order. That covers the risk as to your good faith. We risk everything else ; the fit, and your satisfaction every way. Our trade by mail amounts to half a million dollars a year; there's no ! reason why it shouldn't amount to five millions.
