The soizures were c made on the nights of the 22nd, b 23rd and 24th, and probably ag u gregate the largest amount of un- \ stamped liquor ever seized in this State. It means a loss of about $800 to the owners, whoever they may be. A THOUGHTFUL MAN. e M. M. Austin of Winchester, S Ind., knew what to do in the hour s of need.
