By The Barber Crabb, the new ipostle of " no liquor,' had a bit of bad luck on Saturday when he began his troubling of the waters at the Somerwet corner. That corner some how is an unfortunate one. In the centre* of 'he chief bu<inee/» part of the town it offers great attractions t» many people. Its position makes it an ex* cellent site for a-i hotel, and the Somerset has always b«*n a popnlar one. If an itinerant knife grinder comes along, lie spots iha corner at once and sits up his wheel If a Cheap J nek cutler seek* to palm off Brummagem knives, J9wel»ery, and panes, pocket and note books the leather binding of which is paper and the •ilue that looks *>o strong ii but ooion ju:ce, the mission of which as an ad hesive is fulfilled as soon as the book is sold, and the binding strikes work when the purchss" is put into use—it is at that corner he plants his curt, lights his paraffin lamp, and begins to reel oft. his lies to the Ashburton portion of that great goose the British public. And a goose it is that lays golden eggs, for a heap of foolish money ha* bean thrown away at that Tery corner when quacks of every kind take their stand. If a man wants to make a few shillings out of the) credulity of Ashburton lie has only to read a few of the many works by empirics written m a spirit adverse to the leaoh* ings of the medical (schools, be suffioently glib, sufficiently denunciatory of "the dootors" and "the chemists," aud. audacious enough m the lias he tells, aboub the properties of the nostrum he has to sell, and the greet goose will feed itself on pilLi of roughly made dough, embittered and blackened with soot, with the merest hint of a sugar ooating. But it is to that corner he will go to seek the goose, and there he will find it. It hat been found a good collection ground for the street preachers, the barrel organ man with the. monkey does fair business there* and so does every itinerant vendor who has any novelty to sell.
