timated at the above price would be nifty
four thousand five hundred dollars. But
we will make an estimate of the quantity
sold in the state of New Hampshire, per
annum Were each town to sell as much
in proportion to its number ofinhabitants,
as the town of Concord, it would amount
to two millions of pounds, which, estimat-
ed at one shilling per pound would amount
to about three hundred and thirty thou
sand dollars. At this rate, it would take
nearly all New-Hampshire's portion of
the surplus revenue, to supply her in to-
bacco the coming year. What splendid
internal Improvements the tobacco chew
ers and smokers might MAKE were they |
disposed to appropriate that portion, to
making roads and canals, which they
now spend for this narcotic weed they
would not only accomplish a splendid i'm
provement in the circumstances of the
country, but far more splendid one in
themselves The amount of intoxicating
liquors that were sold in this town during
the past year, the committee were not able
to ascertain, on account of the unwilling
ness ofthe dealers to enlighten the COM
munity on this point.
The Concord Distillery, that great
fountain of destruction in New-Hamp-
shire, has ceased to send up to heaven its
blackening smoke, and to spread through
the community its damning waters,-the
jug is no longer seen stealing across our
beautiful meadow, to be repenished with
its fre-the little ragged and disconsolate
girl no longer waits with her secreted bot
tie, before its doors-it has stopped but
human nature will long lament over its
poisonous effects A large number have
been added to each Of the Total Abstinence
Societies in this place during the past
year. At the present time this society has
two hundred and forty members pledged
to entire abstinence from every thing that
can intoxicate, and also from the use of to-
bacco. There has been but two members,
expelled from this society since our last
annual meeting, one of whom now Is on
the list of rum-sellers Eight or ten who
were drunkards, have recently become tee
totalists, while only one or two have gone
to drinking, who were temperate. There
has also been a society formed, by a un-
, ion Of temperate men from all societies, for
: the support of civil order. The object of
this association is to prosecute those per-
sons who sell intoxicating liquors without
license.
