A Suspicious OmotfursTANCE.—Friend Maoomber is a woll known temperance maii and hag always been su|)posed to live up to bis convictions. .Judge then of tho sur-prise of Mr. Morgan ,iyk*r who has charge of his farm near Newtown, on Uncling a bottle Of whiskey concealed in one of Ltie fields j and not one bottl© ;only but thirty-s\x of them, all in a row. One of these won brought to tho office of this paper this morning, not for use but for show, and wo gave it careful inspection. Tho bottle is just largo enough to hold ouo good nixed drink for a moderate drinker and no more. It is suggested that these, with many others were brought to Portsmouth at the tiuiu uf tho great oolobrotian, for the one of the thirsty Providonco folks who wcto on Ibnt ucenuion taken out of sight of their notivo rum shops . for n period! Jcmgor than they could boar.There is no license m Portsmouth and the enios wore thus conducted on the sly, and it is probable that those bottles constitute the stock in trsdo that was left over. IVo will oseufio the owner of the farm and thus' lay tho blame upon the people from up tho river. The faots show how tho liquor was dealt out, nx other facta had already shown that it was there. *
