The Cumberland dispensary matter gave rise to somo per plexing consideration. A pri mary indicates that they want to get rid of the dispensary but the advocates of tho dispensary did not approve of the primary elec tion and did not take much stock in it, but sent up a petition strongly urging that tho 'act be not repealed.
