The application for license for the Dixie Carnival Co„ to exhibit in Renaselaef, by the Castle Hall association, was granted and license fixed at $5. Saloon license was granted to Michael Bernicken of Wheatfield, no fight being made against him At all. Several months ago a blanket remonstrance was circulated in Wheatfield tp., bnt with what success we have never learned. Mike expected to have to bntt up against it when he applied for license this time, and he succeeded in securing seven withdrawals, which he filed. For same reason—probably that they had not a sufficient number of signers—the remonstrants did not file against him. John McGlinn, the other Saloonist in Wheatfield, has given notice that he will apply for a renewal of his license at the next meeting of the commissioners.
