Telegraph notices with some severity the
Recommendation Of this beer as D pleas

place upon our tables. blythe New York
Bap,lst Register; and remarks that when
rellgious publications thus commend fer
mented drinks, they do far more mischief
to the temperance cause than the Cnblush-

thai If temperance men are for strainibo
the cord thus tight, it will soon snap, and
the reaction will be disastrous. The
Temperance men have an uncompromisinp
| hostility TO Alcohol in every form and
every shape; and when it comes under a
mild and inof1ensiye one, it is then most
dangerous to the reformed man. Root
beer contains Alcohol and makes drunk
enness, and, as the Telegraph saws we
may as well have root cider and root rum

Outrageous.- Friday, man passed
upon poor lad, who sells small notions
near the franklin Square, a spurious
quarter dollar piece, receiving twenty -four
pennies in exchange. The boy immedia-
ltely discovered it aud stated the fact of its
not being genuine, but The fellow ran off
and the poor little boy found himself de-
frauded and no means of redress at hand.
CAN'T be that there are things walking

Dyes. sir; there are things capable of !,
greater meaness than this. There are.
things who rob helpless little boys, and
"poor families of all they can earn, and
then sell them besides. Is il not that
great deal meaner? If you wish to know
what these things" are called, We will
refer you to John Tyler. or J. G. Calhoun,

( The HEAvY. RAINs,-Which fell in
this neighborhood on Thursday mig ht aud
Saturday last extended very wiedly. and
have produced great devastation of rural
property and productions. Nearly the en-
tire wheat crop upon the James River bot
toms from Richmond TO ,Lynchburg is
said TO have been destroyed. Nor, says
the Richmond Wing. is the wheat crop,
the only one injured. The growing
crops of corn and tobacco are overfowed,
and will be seriously injured. if not totally
DESTROYED. If the destruction on other
rivers be in the same proportion, million
of dollars, it is said, will be moderate
estimate of the loss ofproperty in Virgin
ia alone. 1t is reported that numerous
very bad breeches have been made in the
James River canal above Columbia; ia
some places the locks as well as the en-
bankment being swep away."--Nationat
