IA with a custom that has long prevailed in
England, the citizens of st. Joseph county are
invited to FAIR at White Pigeon, on the 10th

Making Drunkards. who sell ar
dent spirits according to law, and men who
buy it according to law, and drink it &C.
cording to law, are doing an immense in.
jury to mankind, by forming nursery for
the growth Of all future drunkards and a
nursery from which have been reared in
Massachusetts more than 1000, and in the
United States more than 10000 drunk.
ards annually. In this way more than
100000 drunkards, during the last gen.
Grafton, were reared in the U. States.
AT first they were sober men, as all men
under the government of God, must be,
till they make themselves otherwise. Nor
did any Of them become drunkards a.
once but they first served sort of ap.
premiership, by that kind and degree of
drinking, which the law contemplates, and
declares to be for the public good.

ed in the extreme. They have scarcely
any clothing, and provisions are scarce.
