This is the name applied to many public bouses in Rhode Island, which, having been refused a retailer's license, resort to a most extraordinary expedient to supply their customers. The bar is partitioned otF in a manner that veils the applicant from the bar keeper. Through the partition a hole is cut, over which is written in large letters, "ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you."'
The "customer"' approaches, knocks, a hand is presented, and the applicant naming the liquors he desires, he is accommodated, and no one is seen save the customer. As the law does not forbid drinking, but only prohibits selling, it is thus evaded. Boston Traveller. EvRTiiQu.vsE.

The rest of the crew and passengers are at the Pavilion Hotel. The ship subsequently went to pieces, and the cargo is totally lost." Among the passengers lost was Mr. Don
