AN AWFUL LESSON TO DRINKERS.

The Fdrorite Son.-At the last March
term of the Court of Common Pleas, Dela.
ware county, New York, young man a.
bou, "a years Of age, by the name Of Jona-
than Thompson, was indicted tor manning
and disfguring the person ofhis father. 1t
appears from the evidence on the trail, that,
on some day in January, the son was seen
by two females near the cabin ofhis father,
the rest Of the family being absent. Soon
afterwards, the same females, who were the
nearest neighbors, heard repeated cries Of
distress, but were afraid to approach the ca
bin. In few minutes they saw the old
man lying upon his back, on the ground
near the cabin, stretching up his arms as if
begging for assistance. They went to him
and found him almost lfelcss, with piece
bitten out of his upper lip, nearly the size of
ones thumb, his eyebrows and ears chew
cd through and through, and one arm from
the hand to the shoulder covered with
-wounus nude BY the teeth. He was re-
moved into the cabin, and placed ON the bed.
His life was despaired of. The next morn
ing the son was arrested, and his clothes
were literally soaked and stifencd with
blood-the blood Of his father! II further ap.
pcared that the father and son were both in
the habi, Of drinking spirits, and that the
son was under the influence of liquor when
he committed the outrage upon his father.
He was his fathers favorite son, and it ap.
peared that they would occasionally have q
drunken frolic together. There had been
some previous misunderstanding in regard
to farm, and the son, who was peaceable
and inoffensive when sober, but quarrelsome
when drink, had thrown out some threats
against his father. When arrested in the
morning, he was sober, and the officer took
him to see his father. He almost tainted
atthe sight, and called for a tulnbler DIVA.
ter, and chair to sustain himself. His ia.
ther refused to appear in court to testify a.
gainst him. He was his favoritc son. The
jury returned a verdict of guilty, and the
wretched man was sentenced to the Peni.
tentiary for three years, the victim Of bad
example and bad precepts. "Train up a
child in theway he should 90 and when he
is old he will not depart from it,"

POWER OF THE PRESS.

Il was considered by Edmund Burke, 4O
years ago, that there were in Britain s0,ooo
readers. CHE PENNY MAGAzINE, pub
lished in London by the 'Soclctv for the
Diffusion of Useful knowledge has now
alone 100000 purchasers, and probably
10000 readers. 1t isprntcd on large
sheet in duplicate, 10000 being printed IN
a dav, which in the common mode OF prln-
ting few years since would have occupied
a single press nearly three reeks. It's sold
at penny throughout the United Kingdom.
In the great printing establishment OF
Mr.. Clawes, where the above work is prln'
ted, there are employed 80 type founders,
6 stereotype founders, 7 men damp'ng pa,
per, and l6O compositors. The principal
composing room where the type is set is
27O feet long, and is filled from end to end
with double row of frames. Two steam
engines arc employed in driving the printing
machines, of which there are eight that can
each throw off from 700 to 1000 impress
sions per hour. There are Is common
printing presses for fine work, and 5 hyd-
raulic presses of26O horse power each, for
pressing paper. There are in the establish.
ment about 1000 works in stereotype, Of
which rs are Bibles. The first cost ofthese
plates would amount to 400,000I the
weight is about 5000 tons, and ifmelted and
sold for old metal would be worth 7O,000l.
The average quantity ofpapcr printed a.
mounts weekly to the astonishing quantity
Of about 1000 rcams.
