A Public Hecesillj.
Mr, Editor: To a viUage community there
is nothing of more importance than a well
kept, well regulated, well sustained drag*
■tore. To ihla end, village* of limited pep*
elation and trade, have found it nceettorv to
Make apodal effort to Mcureauch an institu
tion. In aome coses this baa been attempted
bj the mutual oonseut and agreement of all
merchants and dealers, that the entire drtig-
trudb shall be uudor the oonduot and control
of the village apothecary. Often however,
such agreements lapse, and the effort proves
abortive, so that upon the whole, no sure
plan has beeu found ID succeed until the
town in its corporate capacity, imposes a tax
upon the sale of all drugs and medeclnts,
sufficient to throw protection over the bad*
ness, and thus secure the end sought.
1 presume there are few persons, not even
•U * ‘Ex-Judge," Who need a» extended argu-
ment upon the importance of this subject,
The writer, will however, in conclusion offer
a few thoughts to the publio- generally and
the citizens of Butler, and , Town Council
especially
In the first place the drug business inclu
des a numerous class of officinal preparations,
which though of rare and occasional use, yet,
are articles of prime necessity, so much so
that under the exegendes which demand their
immediate vse, not to be able to command
them, would oiten be felt as o calamity.
Drugs of tuts doss are never handled or
sold by the general dealer, for seveaal reasons.
In the first plooe because they evaporate and
deterioate rapidly, and being of only occa-
ifonal uee, it would uct pay to do so. Sec
ondly they are of a class that cannot be law
fully handled, bought, sold and administered
exoept by an expert, that is, a person profes
sionally educated and licensed for the busi-

Now if these drags ore necessary to the
well being and safety of the communnity,
and the ordinary dealer will not nor cannot
furnish them, then the question for c
village and villager, is. Cun their village
apothecary, lean for a support upon these
rare and occasional articles which yield little
or no profit? leaving the general dealer to
monopolize the (rude in the common-place,

Wu have never seen a better peach pros

If you were to say on the streets of Talbot-

surely find some perrons who would regulate
their time by yours that they might be ap

Mr. E. Stewart is now in possession of as
